Creation of more states in India

Is it even needed? There is already too much chaos. Nobody would want more states to add to the clutter.

I was reading a popular online tabloid and I stopped at this heading. The source of the news is quoted as PTI. The news reads as ‘Demand for creation of 10 new states before home ministry’.

What surprises me is the petty politic behind all this. Creation of a new state bleeds the economy and the Taxpayers hard earned money goes for a spin and lands into the greasy palms of some politician.

As per news, the demand is for creation of ‘atleast’ 10 more new states. The list includes the following:

1. Mithilanchal in Bihar

2. Saurashtra in Gujarat

3. Coorg in Karnataka

4. Telengana in Andhra Pradesh

5. Bundelkhand in Uttar Pradesh & Madhya Pradesh

6. Harit Pradesh in Western UP

7. Mithilanchal or Mithila in Bihar

The good thing is that no action has been taken by the Home Ministry and I hope that none would be taken in the future. We are already too fragmented and there is no need of dividing the electorate again. Hope that no new state would be formed.

But alas, knowing Indian politics, it will take a miracle to save India from another such event.
