Should India be broken into smaller states to facilitate better governance?

There is no direct answer like Yes and No for such a herculean task.

India is the 4th largest democracy and number two in terms of population.

Any wise administration would not encourage further divisions to happen as it is a huge cost to the exchequer and directly to the tax-payers like you and me.

I believe that radically thinking the government should plan for reforms in the immediate future not only for development but also for administrative reforms.

I do not have the facts, but the constitution should have addendum to facilitate the minimum requirements for further division of a particular state, district or tehsil. it should not succumb to mere pressure politics and give in to rioting mobs.

the good part of what has happened today for a widely spread state is that it will now will have a respectful number of regions that it can focus on. I hope the people of India whichever state they belong to will vote for the right people, encourage and support the right administration.

we need to grow not in number of states alone but grow towards better infrastructure, administration, economy and social security.

Good thoughts. Every politician says the same before coming into the seat. The great movements(like telangana) should necessarily start, but not to divide the state but to oppose any kind of bad decision taken by the govt. I don’t see anything happened in recent times. Global warming is one big issue, nobody cares excepts social welfare orgs. The only people oppose govt decissions is yet another politician with no use. The same govt employees, doctors, lawyers and most importantly students should stand before for the good cause.

I feel everyone is with self greed and there is no thinking about other parties. I dont believe there is space for good politicians. Existing politicians never change. No time for Common man, including me.

As you said, I can only say...
