Is it really necessary??

Of late there have been huge demands for creation of separate states by carving out from the existing ones. In the first phase, three biggest states of India had to part with a sizeable chunk of their self!!! And with this the demand from other areas have risen even more. At times, I feel this is only a gimmick by the politicians. They only play with the sentiments of people, especially during election time. And a large majority of our people are too innocent to be fooled by that!! And believe me I have seen it clicking and clicking really well during elections. People run around like fanatics, with bands around their heads, screaming at the top of their voices. One of the politicians in the recently concluded bye elections won by a margin greater than what he had the previous time around. And a major part of this success has to be attributed to the card that he played. One school of thoughts argues strictly against division of stated. The logic behind their argument is, Sardar Patel had spent many a sleepless nights only to ensure that all the 500 odd princely states come under one single union. And believe me it was a very difficult thing to do. Thanks to his willingness and guts, that we are all one today. Or else we would probably have had another Pakistan within India. Everything agreed. True that whatever had happened has already happened. He has got his due credit. But coming to the real question, I strongly feel that rearrangement of states is the need of the hour. Mainly because administration is becoming more and more difficult day by day. Population is growing at a rapid pace. 60 years back, it was an entirely different story. States like UP, MP and Bihar could have been managed. But today, its very very difficult. And moreover with corruption rising daily, it makes administration even more difficult. Middle level bureaucrats are making the most. Though we are in the line of becoming self sufficeint, the necessary help doesnt reach the one who actually deserves it. Once we have smaller regions to be governed, administration becomes that much simpler and easier, and over that if we get good leaders, it will be like an icing on the cake!!
