Can India Break up?

Language should never be the reason to divide a region. It's population which should be the deciding criteria.

If population should be the criteria, Telangana and AP should not have been formed.

That's my opinion. Language shouldn't be the only criteria.

"Should not be" but they are happening without any rationale and logic.

Yes it's happening without logic. I am surprised how can China can comment like this on India when they too is a large country and when they know that we have been a single country since 70 years and have developed more than other countries. No doubt it may have happened in the starting years when we got independence when Pakistan was formed but now I don't think it will happen.

The conditions are different in China.. Actually this malady of dividing the country was inherited from our erstwhile rulers Britishers. I support Unity and it strengthens the country.

The creation of linguistic states was bad for India. Historically India was never divided on linguistic lines. As an example the old state of Hyderabad had telegu, kannada and Maharathi speaking people. Creation of linguistic states was a catalyst for divisisve tendencies.

I am a nationalist, but concept of one nation was given only by British. They were the first to unite India from Khyber pass to Assam and deep South. No Indian empire was that big. Secondly the biggest empire of Urzngzeb did not match British India and it was a Muslim rule with Hindhs second class and paying jizzia rax etc

Just think about the age of democracy of US and India, and the answer is hidden inside it. 

In US  states voted to join the union and there has never been talk of secession. In India it is exactly opposite, right from Nagaland to Kashmir valley want to secede from India

 I agree, population is a curse. India will overtake China by 2025

Yes creation of linguistic states by Nehru was bad for India. It brought in divisive tendencies. One can see drive against Foreigners by Shiv Sena  

US democracy was over three hundred years old and I think at one point of time, if history of theirs is right, it was almost divided as two separate nations as south and north due to extreme apathroid during 18th centuries, after prominent black leader Marti Luther King assassinated, So, US is not more different that us, though we are younger in democracy. 

It is not apartheid but color discrimination against which Martin Luther king fought and won.

Martin luther King was shot and killed in 1964, despite this color bar against Negro is very much there in US though they have a colored as President

Yes. Discrimination against Blacks in the USA ,is a blotch on the face of One of the biggest democracies in the world.

India is passing through a dangerous time and Indian government is not taking internel insurrection seriously. Take the case of Naga rebellion its on for 59 years and Maoist revolt in Central India for perhaps 25 years. Now the writ of maoists runs and they control 35% of area. Its all so sad. Yesterday I read a post by a muslim writer advocating a third partition of India and creation of another Muslim state. Just think friends

True. Maoist groups are still active in AP Jharkhand Border. Their target is not the people but by creating terror while killong the Security forces. Maost and other extremist groups are regrouping especially in the borders of states. The issue should be taken seriously.

Even I agree population is the reason why our growth is so slow. We should create awareness in people especially in villages where people don't understand it.
