    Question Small States or Big States - Telangana could be new state (?)

    Manmohan govt blinks, signals splitting Andhra for Telangana
    HYDERABAD: Eleven days after TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao began an indefinite fast for Telangana, the Centre on Wednesday announced that the process of formation of a separate state was being set into motion and that a resolution to this effect would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh assembly shortly. Though he did not specify the timing, there is speculation that it may be tabled as early as Thursday.
    Do India need smaller states or bigger states?

    India had 28 states, of which 3 states being recently added (in 2000), and now Telangana would be 29th state of India. And list of aspirant states is also long. (Aspirant states of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
    But have we achieved equal development for all states? Most of states have not achieved development even after 60 years of independence. Reason being availability of resources, key cities presence in that state. But main reason is number of representatives/ministers in centre (?). Besides language & cultural differences within the states have led to conflicts between states.

    So... I think whole system of the states need to scrapped, all states of India needs to be dissolved. We should reorganise all districts in country into 8-10 major provinces. The provinces would NOT be based on languages/cultures, but it should be created such that every province would have enough resources (electricity, water, infrastructure, etc). All provinces should have equal representation at centre so that there is no unfair advantage to any particular region due to majority of representatives. Each province could have 1 or more official language which would be used in daily administration. Each province should have centre appointed administrator who has more powers (unlike Governor), who could run administration on behalf of centre, while elected members could form local government managing the province.

    But after so many years, is it possible to change the borders? change the whole administration process? Or let India get divided into smaller states?

    I support smaller states, division of states should be allowed as long as there is no major opposition to it, from the other parts of the state.

    So... I think whole system of the states need to scrapped, all states of India needs to be dissolved. We should reorganise all districts in country into 8-10 major provinces.
    That would cause unnecessary problem. The system India has right now is somewhat working, so why change it.


    As far as Telangana is concerned, it seems there is serious resistance from other parts of the state. Apparently some 50 mla s have resigned from the AP assembly.

    Its just for money sucking from us and paying them. Now Andhra and Rayalseema are fighting with over 100 MLA's resigning.

    ----------

    It is complete Blackmailing going on over the Telangana issue.
    I am afraid it is going to spread all over India soon.

    I think it is not yet doubled,but chances are of even triple Telangana, Andhra & Rayalseema.
    But I am sure by the time it comes to end there will be next election around the corner as it will take 4years time for them to discuss in parl.

    But the thing is do we need 'small states' or 'big states' to achieve every development of every part of country?
