The entire problem has to be considered holistically. There is no denying the fact that there may be a case of genuine requirement of creating a few more smaller states. You cannot just brush away every other demand with one stroke while you accede to one. Or is it just first come first served basis? I know it sounds crazy but the way Pranab Mukherjee has dismissed the other demands sounds like it is. By saying that this was a very old demand also does not justify this action. I mean, are we deciding this issue based on it’s past history or whether it is being done based on the present situation in those regions? It’s something like a class teacher openly displaying favoritism towards one student while telling the others to shut up. You can see for yourself how ridiculous the whole things sounds.
