THBT there should be a re-organization of Indian states.

This motion stands in the contemporary state of affairs as we will argue over the course

of our essay . The status quo, is that the riginal organization on linguistic basis as

enacted by the !tates "eorganisation #ct, $%&' ignored the cultural identities of people.

#s an e(ample, the Telangana issue may be scrutinized,Telangana historically being a

region ruled by the nizam of Hyderabad and hence sub)ect to the *eccani culture distinct

from the !eemandhra and "yalseema. Its culture springs from the prople who came toserve the +olconda rulers unlie the predominantly indegenous tribes and peoples of the

rest of #ndhra radesh.

hen such different cultural identies are clubbed together and their fates tied up in the

same state, what happens/ Inefficient distribution of resources, violent separatist

tendencies steaming due to the lac of democratic empathy, in effect, a melting pot of

trouble. The same trouble e(ists, though at a hidden level in the 0idarbha region of

1aharashtra, Bodoland, +orhaland. laces where the people have been thrown together

in a cultural hotbo(, in garangutan states with blea hopes of good governance and in

states created to be broen up into fragments.

The !"# $%&', created the states on the basis of lingual identity. But, lingual identities

are not the strongest identities that e(ist. Instead it is one of the weaer ones. 7or

e(ample, the people of 4ttar radesh spea Hindi. But the culture of Bra)bhoomi is

drastically different from the #wadhi culture. ne has stuc to the traditions of 1athura

and 0rindavan while the other has been affected by its 3awabs. #wadh is famed for its

courtly 8Tehzeeb8 where as Bra)bhoomi for its rustic charm. *oes Hindi truly fulfill the

criteria for putting together such different people together/

"B261 7 I3694#2 *6062163T:

ur first arguement is that the creation of large states has historically lead to thelocalisation of prosperity and development instead of homogenous development. 7ore(ample, in 1aharashtra, 0idharba is an area characterized by the lac of resources,7armer suicides and chronic draught while 1umbai, the capital, acts as financial capital ofIndia. hat is the problem with that/ If , hypothetically speaing, 0idarbha was createdas a separate state, it could see financial help from the 5entre as a Bimaru state. hichit cannot currently due to the fact that 1aharashtra is one of the most prosperous statesof the country, even if the funds are received, they are diverted to other regions of1aharashtra since they will provide quicer returns and better numbers than a poorfarmer in 0idarbha . 2avasa will bring in foreign investment, the farmer cannot. 6ven thetricle down effect has stopped woring.

#nother e(ample is #ndhra radesh where there is e(treme poverty in na(alite affected

areas, and prosperity in Hyderabad and few districts of !eemandhra. #reas such as theseneed special attention of the government and It is quite clear that in the e(isting systemthey are not receiving the ind of attention that they require. By clubbing such areastogether as a separate state, in accordance with their geographical position, we canconcentrate better on their problems.

the very basis and root of the ideals of our nation8s founders. The Tulu people of !outhIndia might have had a demand for a separate state when the !"5 was preparing it8srecommendations , but are now happy being a part of >erela, the state with the highestindicators of literacy and health.

n the other hand, garangutan states lie 4 are an administrative nightmare and arebest divided into smaller, more manageable states, as proposed by the former 5heif1inister. # smaller state will eventually result in better administration due to better

interdepartmental co-ordination due to the smaller size of their cadre. "educingcommunal tendencies and fiascoes lie 1uzzafarnagar and #yodhya. *ifferent regionshave different needs. In order to mae the process of progress easier we need to clubareas that have similar needs together and wor on them.

The purpose of democracy is to fulfill the aspirations of the people. 6(treme pressurebeing put on the centre and the state governments by varied groups demanding aseparate state for their people?community is a clear indication that the people of thesestates are dissatisfied with the current organisation of the states.

hen the people8s mandate is clear, our country and our government being a democratic

one, must provide constitutional means to people to fulfill their demands and wishes, lestour political stagnancy spell doom for us. It should nothave taen &@ years and politicalaspirations of a few for the people of Telangana to get their state. It is a failure as ademocracy to ignore our people.

This move would lead to improvement in the performance of state government becauseif people of the same cultural bacground would live in any state, then the politicianswould no longer be able to sway people on the basis of ethnic origin during stateelections. !o the sole criteria before the people would be merit and performance of thegovt. Hence the government would have to perform really well. 7or e(ample, if 4 isoccupied by only ;adavas, no longer can ! sway people on the basis of them being

;adavas and hence would need to do really well to win the election. Then they would notneed to perform and use dirty vote ban politics as everyone would already be a ;adav inthat state and hence the sole way of them getting re elected is to perform well. !o itwould help in removing the dirty tactics of political parties and mae them concentrate

solely on development.ur opponents would as us whether we plan to throw out the other communities, wewould tell them that this decision will be taen by a committee that will have to decidewhether these demands are )ustified and feasible will be formed in accordance to thema)ority votes and plebicite. This committee would be responsible and answerable to thegovernment. This would prevent abuse of rights.

5oncluding, we would lie to draw the attention of the reader to our essential burden of

proof in this essay: To right the wrongs of the !tates "eorganisation #ct, $%&'. thesebeing inefficient administration, resentment among the people and promotion of vote-ban politics.e also argued the administrative benfits of such a reorganisation,establishing the idea of a smaller state-more efficient state. 7inally we argue how asmaller state will eventually reduce the vote-ban politics of narrow minded politicalparties. Thus, we believe that the motion stands and there is a concrete necessity for thereorganisation of states on cultural grounds.
