Dividing India into States
by Meherwan Mehta on Jan 15, 2008 05:28 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Linguistic division of the country into states was a big mistake. We should have followed the American pattern of drawing up the straight dividing lines either horizontally or vertically, with the exception of natural barriers like rivers, etc. This may be a good point for a debate for the time being. The advantages are many. The main being that regional and linguistic feelings will be suppressed for the good of the nation as a whole.
