Leadership or Pursuit of power

Observing the immense display of infighting in the Indian Parilament and the voices of the pro and anti-state division factions, you have to ask a basic question.

1 who wants to be called an Indian vs who identifies himself or herself as belonging to a particular state?
2. What does the identity of a residency or heritage of a state mean in India today?
3. All the current 28 states and Union Territories are identified by either geography or language.

It is futile to assume that duration of residence or origins of ancestors dictates the regional affiliation.
A Bengali will be a Bengali anywhere in the country. A Malayalee will always be a Malayalee. 
A Telugu will always be a Telugu.

If the investments of a few individuals can be protected only if they have  a state to back them up, then no investor can ever set up investment projects anywhere except in his or her backyard.
Every district is practically destined to become its own state!! And it's own country!

When regions start figthing among themselves to control limited resources, it marks the end of collective growth and beginning of collective destruction of all.
There is no voice to be heard of what the future unity of India is supposed to look like.
