THE FALLOUT OF SEPARATE TELANGANA -Actually identity politics is playing havoc in the country of late.Regional, linguistic, community identity has started taking centre stage in any public protests aimed at creation or carving out something or driving out someone away.There should have been a basis on which states reorganization committee was formed and several separate states were carved out.After that period only in 1990 when Chattisgarh, Jharkhand & Uttarakhand were formed. One cannot be sure whether this experiment was successful or not but in one case of Jharkhand, one is 100% sure that the experiment has failed. Apart from getting a capital at Ranchi and a High Court at Ranchi and the road leading to Ranchi which is good, all the other aspects of development is zero because of excessive corruption. Now perhaps time has again come to rethink on this matter and organising a states reorganisation committe which should be high powered committee which should have eminent poeple, have support of all political parties and given a free hand to discuss all the matter, pros and cons. This particular incident has definitely opened up pandora box for demand of many new states (like Mayawati wants three states out of UP!) -after all, leave alone that Telangana was old issue pending since 1952, so what, Gorkhaland is still older issue pending since 1902!We are a Gandhi country and after all K Chandrashekhar Rao is not the only living Gandhian in the country! If people from every region resort to Gandhian means and start the movement collectively, runnign the country to ramson, then what about India! States must have been carved out of administrative necessity so that fruits of governance reach to the lowest strata. Who would have thought that this issue would one day lead to anarchy!Give Deformed meaning to demad for smaller states. The politicians right from Gram Panchayat to corporator to MLA to MP have not honestly done their work that is why many regions feel left out-Naxalism, perhaps may be also linked to such apathy of the rulers reaching out to the really deserving lot. The politicians are aware that if there are bigger states they will only have to be satisfies with a minister or so, but cannot be Chief minister. SO regional demand comes to their mind. Also there is the question of their ward's career, nepotism-for example for KCR's son, this is just example & applicable every where- greed is the base So if greed, vested interest, money is the basis for such agitations how can you term them people's movement! In fact people are taken for a ride! This is a perfect example of functioning mobocracy- you raise an issue, bring some supporters, arrange destruction and say people's movement. Unless there is honesty, sense of Indian-ness, implementation of law and order you will find these issues cropping up-there are many Indias, after all! You give Bihar a Jharkhand. Then give Jharkhand a Lalkhand(Mica) & Kalakhand(Coal) in places of availability of minerals.SO on and so forth.In fact greed,vested interest,money, nepotism, career is the real basis for statehood, all other basis are farce. KCR should be said that if you are a Gandhian then we follow religious texts! For saving the lives of people if a lie is essential, then be it.Govt did the right thing that day.Take this lollipop at least now.Now in return at least KCR knows his strength and the people's undercurrent demand. Now the sacrifice has to be done from his part and persuade his people not to press too far for the interest of country.Will he? We should ask him, If taking cue of his way many states are carved out then history will not forget him if something goes wrong. Did he fathom it?
Come to think of it. This is known as parochial thinking.We are casteist first, regional second, religious third, linguistic fourth, state's identity fifth and at last comes Indian identity, sixth, leave alond global identity or the human identity.
Time has come to not to leave the governance of the country in the hands of corrupt political system. Checks & balance are required. At least people should now know that politicians are ruining the country on the pretext of "Popular demand"!, in fact "Mobocratic demand"!
And why are we missing logistics costs? Name plates, paintings, photos, check-posts, stationeries, building capital, other govt building, to the tune of 2000 crores or so at least, corruption there, more permits. This fund could have been very happily deplyed for the benefit of the same left-behind people. How many divisions are you going to make.Where will it stop?What is the guarrantee that after this division all the problems will be solved and further division not come up?
