Telangana

Disclaimer: Below perspective is mere speculation, it aims at exploring a different perspective from a third man point of view, rather than considering local sentiments.

I have seen several perspectives on the telangana issue, the backdrop of 7 telangana districts being neglected in Andhra State.

My support is for theory based on few books such as "Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond" and JP Narayanan's view that summarizes world history and brings to the fore, the reasons for the current state of societies. To summarize, it signifies the role of food production in the domination of certain people. It claims people who are self sustainable have always flourished in other domains such as politics, movies, enterpreneurship and other fields. Be it the conquest of whole world(USA, Australia, Africa, India etc) by Europeans or any relevant society.

There is no definite solution to the optimal granularity of states (how many states should exist).It is a mere speculation that we can do on the outcome of bifurcation of telangana and andhra. So, I feel, if you are pro poor (against capitalism) and encourage equality, devolution of power should be done at the district level, autonomy should be given more to districts, this is what mahatma gandhi envisioned as part of swaraj for villages too. It will curb corruption at highest levels and give the people more transparency and public welfare.

This is not possible for a meritocratic society though, as it will take a while for people to have a liberal point of view. Having virtual states for all the districts of AP, instead of just telangana and andhra, welfare can be achieved in each district. On the downside, Capitalism always wins in modern society, so more the equality, no more would be greed, jealousy, competition
or other human vulnerabilities.

And I am not sure if we can make any point by comparing the consequences of telangana seperation with the development of india, pakistan from bifurcation of pakistan from India, or Gujarat from maharasthra.
