A new state.. Telangana..
A new DisUnited state of India?? But why keep splitting states into smaller units, when they were created under an Act?
Oh i get it now..
India wants to become a superpower..
The United states of America is made up of 50 states. And Everyone knows it is a "Super Power"
The United Kingdom is made up of 4 'countries'. An the Kingdom is powerful in its way. God Bless the Queen!
USSR was made up of 15 countries, before being dismantled. And by Jove, Was it a SuperPower.. Cue: Cold War.
The European Union has 28 member states., An Economic Super Power.
So maybe the GOI thinks having more states would automatically make us a super power too.I mean, look at it, there has been precedents.
Good thinking the GoI, what an easy way to become a Super power. Who cares about standard of living, economic prosperity etc. All humbug rite..
We now have 29 states and 7 Union Territories.
Maybe , just maybe , we might one day end up with more states than the United States itself...Not exactly an unachievable target right, given the current scenario.
Then we truly say, God bless India ..
Welcome once again to the (Dis)United States of India.
