After the recent KCR drama for separate Telangana, his call for all Andhra people to leave Telangana and MNS call for non-Marathi’s to leave Mumbai, I was wondering why all these politicians want to divide the existing states into smaller ones or tell people where they are supposed to live. Do they all forget that we are part of India and every Indian has a right to choose where they want to live.
States should be just administrative areas and nothing more. May be we should have started with small states in the beginning itself instead of diving them on linguistic basis, but once formed no one should be allowed to break them into pieces as this creates disunity among Indians. People start forgetting that they are Indians first and will fight with other Indians on these petty issues. If some parts of a state are backward in comparison to other, then these politicians instead of asking for a separate state should first of all find the cause of the problem and then try to solve it.
For thousands of years people have been migrating to places where they have an opportunity to improve their and their family’s lives. Stopping that is not possible, whether it be for MNS, TRS or ULFA and many more such organizations. Immigrants, settlers or non-locals, whatever you may call them by bring new ideas, innovations, culture and development with them. Without human migrations a civilization becomes stagnant and then rots very quickly causing its destruction. Instead of arguing that a non-local has taken a job away from a local, why not look at the fact that these non-locals use local services, spend their money locally and in turn create more jobs which will help many more locals find employment.
All these dramas and agitations by these parties are nothing but to grab power so they can swindle public money and make their families and relatives rich at the expense of the very locals who ignorantly support them.
