RE:Gorkhaland is a must

Good point Hitesh. You are right that a country as large as India and one which lives with a beuaracracy handed over by the British (Very few ruling the very many) - we need more devolvement of power to states. We also need to remove the UP/Bihar dominance of our politics - if these states had good politicians to give - they would be the most developed by now, right ?

The failure to do so in the past has caused problems in Kashmir, Punjab, Assam etc. If you read the history of these problems - you will find that the original demands of these ppl was different from what is eventually became !! shame that our central politicians think that a state wanting to develop itself by its own effort is 'anti-national'. A true democracy has to run like a nationalistic but empowered federation of states. Look at the US, look at UK.
