Small States

Some reasons why small states should not be formed

1. It will give rise to more bureaucracy, more ministers and more corruption. First we had a Lalu in Bihar but now Madhu Koda has made Lalu look small
2. It will give rise to unwanted one upmanship syndrome and will create rift between erstwhile brothers
3. Government expenditure will increase giving rise to higher fiscal deficit
4. This will be a U turn to the "I am Indian First" dream.
5. Without forming states too decentralization and autonomy could be inculcated by altering our style of governing. Hence new states will not make a difference unless there is a change in the way we do things
6. There is no end to such demands. The only people who will stand to gain will be the politicians. The common man will continue to run helter and skelter under the influence of political rhetoric.

We need to look at growing together and build a single and strong identity so that the world comes to recognize our stature. If China, Pakistan are to be kept at bay we must have to build the idea of One India and breaking of states into smaller states does not help this cause.
