Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

                After living through the division of the state for the past few months, here are the further 2 cents on the prevailing situation and that of the future. Contrary to the anticipation, there is little visible resistance to the outcome of a dubious decision. Whatever resistance in the form of waning agitations and resignations, failed to result in anything larger as people acceded to the forced ruling with pent-up hatred and simmering anger for those behind the move. Their voice is never taken into account at any stage of the bifurcation which resulted in the thorough rout of the ruling party in the recent elections. Significant to observe is the party did not get the support of the state it created. A referendum held in United Kingdom last month is a good way of going about in such cases to put the issue to rest. The only difference being the account of entire state should be considered due to the location of capital and other atta...

                    Since not long ago, the main discussion in this area came to a halt by successfully passing the bill for the state re-organization in both houses of parliament and marching further towards fulfilling the dreams of many.

This got the approval of the central ministers and the President to hang it in the State assembly for comment. From a fair judge point of view, the entire episode seemed to be a case which was handled ineptly and how not to arrive at conclusions by only looking from the top. For all the reasons of little value, one cannot arrive at irreversible act of building boundaries when the outcome affects the future and the psyche of crores on land. These decisions to bifurcate coming from the leaders in high positions should have gained wider acceptance if they are people-centric or process-centric and not person-centric, power-centric or period-centric.              In the long winding process leadi...
