Everytime there is trouble or trouble makers, there is no need for knee jerk reaction of "let's divide the state". Unfortunately this seems to be current fashion in India politics and the political analysts.
India is a diverse country in the large unified hindu family. For whatever the reason, language was taken as the basis for division in the non-hindi speaking areas. It is important to make it work rather than dividing the states where ever there is some existence of diversity. It is important for the politicos and social engineers to teach the populace to live and enjoy diversity.
Due to internal migrations and economic development/investments some areas developed better than other areas. The backward areas are backward not becuase some others are smart or looted the wealth from poor. They were backward becasue a proper economic model based on geographical data was not chosen. All it matters is to change the economic models in the backward regions.
I belive it is very important to allow the diversity inside the states and not divide them just there are slightly diverse groups in one region of the state from other regions. If we go this route then it can't be 50 states, it will be 1000 states in India.
Inspite of chuvanistic Maharastra regionlism, SS never reached a stage where it can rule on its own. Inspite of Telugu pride, TDP was never able to repeat DMK kind of politics in AP (initially that was their thought). If we divide these states, definitly one or more the new states will become like TN with anti-north/anti-rest movements and anti-hindi campaigns.
The mantra that worked against such movements in these states is becuase of existing diversity. If we start removing such diversity in the name of (using the verbal spin) better governence, then the country has to face many such ugly movements. It is no more 1960s. These days every movement will have funding/back ground support from EJs, maoists and anti nationals.
