Dividing a divided India

After P Chidambaram declared that the AP assembly passes a resolution in the state assembly for the formation of separate Telanga state, each one is coming up and is getting ready to divide this already divided country.

Opposing demand for a separate state of Vidarbha, Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said Maharashtra should get Marathi-speaking areas of Belgaum and adjoining areas in Karnataka. Shiv sena is opposing the bifurcation of Maharashtra and says it is in favour of ‘Sanyukta Maharashtra’ where as at the same time it asks for Belgaum. In Maharashtra alone all parties are in favour of a separate Vidhrbha but not Shiv Sena.

The Gorkhas want Gorkha land, Saursahtra wants to get away from Gujrat, Mayaywati the UP chief minister said to mange govt. better UP should be divided into 3 smaller states. Coorg wants to be a separate part from Karnataka. The demand to bifurcate Tamil Nadu into north and south for “better administrative purposes’’ gained momentum.

My question to all is who is demanding this people or the politicians?

After a spree of resignations and opposition for a separate Telangana the centre is on a back foot and might eventually form another states reorganization commission.

May what it be but the people of a state should have their where they want to go. The Election commission should conduct polls as elections are conducted and get the majority of the peoples say.

Making smaller states is easy for the politician as they can get one more chance to form a govt. and many others who could never become a CM will get a chance. But what is the use of this to the common man.

Dividing an already divided India is easy. But who will unite it is the question.
