The Divided States of INDIA

Welcoming 29th state of India and many more to come

550 princely dominions were integrated into the Indian Union in 1956 and then new states were created on linguistic basis. And then the politics started…….

Telangana- They say now it will be easier to lead the place to prosperity. Have they studied the condition of the other new born states: Utrakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand…..???  All the states are almost at the same level as they were with their mother states.  No one has fared exceptionally great. If you talk about the division of prosperous Punjab, which happened many years back; it still remains an affluent state. So, you can’t tag its wealth to its division.

 Saying all this, doesn’t mean I am against smaller states. I believe smaller states are easy to develop. But here the division isn’t meant for development; infact it’s only politics, they are least concerned about the prosperity of the society. If it isn’t for politics, they wouldn’t be waiting for these issues to heat up till they blast and then act. If these politicians really want to work positively, then the first state which needs a division is Utter Pradesh, then Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Why they are not thinking about that; but no, they will wait for the issue to become more severe, they will wait for bloody protests; they will wait for the innocent killings, then they will divide the state on the name of development. And we, the MANGO people, as always will believe them. 

When Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966, from that day, these two states are fighting for Chandigarh and sharing of water resources. Even a stupid person can understand that these issues will never be resolved. Still in every election these issues are raised and people come on roads for the bloody protests. From last 3-4 years political parties were drawing undue advantage of Telangana issue; and in near future they will fight elections on the issues of Hyderabad, the newly carved UT. But nobody will care about the development of any of the two states or the common Hyderabad.

In my view, there should be a definitive program to have large number of states (35-40); but only for good governance and fast development not for political gimps. So, my dear Mango people do not arrogantly ask for different state but for the growth & development.
