Stupid politicians of yesteryears
by Milind Kulkarni on Feb 15, 2008 03:13 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The politicians of yesteryears who formed the states based on language, are the culprits. Did they not envision the fallacies of such a strategy? Did they not encounter immegiate effects especially in states such as Tamil Nadu so that they can realise their mistakes? What did they do to correct the policy?

No. There is one unique culture all over America and the states are based on geography and not on language, religion, race, etc etc. You can see some states are exactly square in shape.

In current times, the states on the lines of language, caste, religion, race are at danger of anarchy because the politicians are definitely going to use such tactics. We must re-form the states on mere geographical basis which will comprise of all communities. We must encourage migration within India. We must shower benefits on those who have left their land so that one day our India will be "ONE".

Of course, language, culture, religion are important to us but they should be kept at home and not brought into politics.
