Politics of India and of Hindustan

India was never a country which was really divided on the basis of language in the past, the decision to divide states on the basis of language was the worst possible way of starting functioning of a country which is especially so diversified in terms of culture. We started off by Sardar Patel creating states on the basis of language like Tamil Nadu, Gujrat, Maharashtra and Orissa. This ndivision did not make any sense. The state of bengal which had the current states of Bihar, Orissa and Jharkhand were unnecessarily divided to create more disparities. between ppl who were earlier a part of one state.
Now whenever there is a part of one existing state which has a governance snag or has been ignored by the centre it asks for an other state. First we made Assam and then we made 7 states out of it to give local people a sense of empowerment. Well this is not the solution as the development in India happens on the basis of only two factors.
1. If you are from the constituency or the region of powerful and honest leaders.
2. You have high levels of industrialization .

#1 happens very sparsely so people very convininently ask for new states because they feel that the current setup is ignoring them. Well there is no end to it. The current debate between Andhra and Telengana is another feather in the shameful hat that we don in this regard. The only place where development is visible in Andhra has been Hyderabad which is a part of Telengana region so the people there feel left out, I mean if there is so much problem why dont we give them Telengana without Hyderabad or give them Andhra without Hyderabad. The fact is everyone is playing on development but is only looking at revenues coming in from the industrial hub of Hyderabad.

Now nthe talk is to make two states within UP and make a Vidharba and Gorkhaland. It takes money to create another state, that money could be better spent on developing the undeveloped regions of the state.

When would we ever learn and not fall into Politician's hands.
