Mapping future India
After the central government accepting the demand for the formation of Telangana as the 29th State of India, demand for formation of new States is coming from all parts of India. Let’s understand why this demand is picking up?
India before the arrival of British was under different princely rulers and kingdoms of those times like Ashoka, Akbar etc created a united force. Travelers had been talking about the e richness of India or Hindustan at that time.
The Europeans came as travelers to India and later on finding the riches and established East India Company here. The British took advantage of different smaller princely states and it was easy for them to bring one princely state after another under their jurisdiction.
After independence India followed federal structure and for administrative purpose has created States and Union Territories. Each State and Union Territory has further districts, Tehsils, Blocks and Panchayats for easy administration.
Efficiency of the democracy depends on the peculation effect. But since the major development has been limited to the metro cities of India, the flow of population looking for job from villages to the cities has never declined.
This has been one of the major factor which contrite for the demand for formation of many states in India. The belief that smaller states means more attention and more development fund is a belief that politicians and the deprived public beliefs in.
Just look at the map. Demand for new states is coming from the following new regions.
- Telangana
