Telangana – yet another state added to the list; I remember memorizing 26, when I was a kid. Sadly, I’ve lost the count now !! With due respect to local sentiments, I simply fail to understand the need for creating a new state. Is it about an identity crisis? I think not. For me, personally, it’s more of politicizing the issue and milking the cow !!But I guess that is the core nature of Indian politics,- opportunistic; with minimal regard for the country.
If ‘vote bank’ politics is a brand, then I see Telangana creation as a line extension. If you go back into recent history, then you’re reminded of the language based politics. Dig further into time, and you find yourself faced with the evergreen politics of religion.
How does the government intend to cope up with future demands? ‘Bodoland’ for instance.
You know, when I was a child, I would very often see this commercial which talked about National integration.
I guess all similar efforts have come undone !!
We have several national issues to deal with, and here comes the frugal one. Terrorism, naxalism,- to name a few, are issues which need our immediate attention. Have we ever thought as to why is naxalism is there in the first place. I read this article by Shoma Choudhary of Tehelka, and recommend it totally.

I realize that there’s no room for ‘regionalism’.
