NEW DELHI: Home minister P Chidambaram on Thursday said the demand for a separate Telangana state in Andhra Pradesh showed how people feel neglected despite speaking same language. "Last night (Wednesday) the government announced initiating the process of formation of Telangana. The region is a good example of how people feel neglected despite speaking same language," he told reporters.When asked about the possible impact of state formation, he said: "The US has one-third of our population still it has 50 states."
As I had written in the earlier blog on Telegana, The separation of Andhra Pradesh, and then subsequently other states is an inevitable consequence of the Rural and Urban divide in India and the globalization bull run. This separation would rewrite the Indian Political Scenario completely within a decade. Congress hopes it can still ride the tiger.
On the hind-sight, it would also see the death of linguistical chauvinist politics which is bigger menance (DMK, MNS etc.) This could be seed for death of DMK, on the very day the Madurai case verdict is announced, as TN itself could be bifurcated. If that happens, it would be the ultimate poetic justice.
