The Changing Politics of States' Reorganization

Abstract

This essay highlights the change in altitude, among the Indian ruling elite, in no longer treating states' reorganization as the emergence of parochial identities. Different regions established their identity on the basis of language, culture, administrative coherence, economic development, or lack of it. Gradually, it has been recognized that the reorganization of states leads to good governance if such reorganization stems from administrative convenience, economic viability, similarity in developmental needs of a subregion, and cultural-linguistic affinity.
