Pandit Nehru and their congress ilks should not have created states based on languages. Each state should have been created in a manner that no single language is a majority. Like we can have 20 states of equal area. Ex. One state comprises of some portion of telegu speaking and equal protion of Marathi, Kannidiga speaking people ...

Dear Mr. Vikhram,
Already Dr. Rajendra Prasad [First President of India] and Mr. Sardar Vallabhai Patel [the iron man of India, who is instrumental in formation of Indian Union raised this issue, that states should not be divided on the basis of linguistic basis.
But the political colours at that time, has allowed this type of formation.
Even Anna was instrumental once in supporting a cause for separate Tamil Nadu.
Link all the rivers like Ganga, Cauvery and Godavari.

Nationalization of all the essential resources is the optimal solution.

All the above discussion about the failed action of not holding the country's natural source in common is appreciated. But todays media and weak leaderships cann not do this. Further in my oppinion like the british did harm to Srilankan tamils by making One lanka, In india this was done by Neheru and Patel. All britishsate might have been left as individual nation, If not the present states.

What you propose is impractical. Linguistic identities are too strong to be taken easily. Even advanced nations are arranged according to linguistic identity like Germany, France, Japan.
