United we stand divided we fall. What if it happens the other way ?

What if India gets divided in itself?

Just for a moment I got a thought what if India gets divided among itself to form a new Country? Something like the European union, called the Indian Union.

I know India now is already divided to twenty-eight states, okay 29 including Telegana and 7 union territories (UT), err.. Wiki and the election commission of India say we are still one short of twenty-nine.

Okay lets come to the point, Now that we are 28 states and 7 UTs and we see nothing similar or common in all these states and UTs. Every state have their own way of governing the people, only certain institutions are governed by the so-called center and financial regulations are done based on the Central Government budget.

If given the chance for a state to prove it, can’t they do it? The Railways, the Banks are the most commonly referred central agencies that show their profit loss pan India.
We people speak different language, we have our own style of living, differing from the way we address people professionally, different in the way we dress for occasions. The food that we eat is different. The ways we celebrate the common function are different.
Hence, why not give a separate hand in governing too?

If you see the most gainers out of this divide and rule concept will be the state that have a port with them to perform the global trading, viz., Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal, Gujarat, Orissa and Karnataka. These states will definitely continue to prosper and perform better economically compared to the rest of India.

The most dangerous or affected part will be the people or the state from the extreme North and Central India. The J&K will have too less security and its easy for the neighbours to attack and take their region of country, same in case of the North-East states too which are also troubled by the intrusion of the neighbours.

I say the Central India too will be affected since we all know Bihar and Madhya Pradesh are known only for their labor in other states, still agriculture in most parts of south of MP is the source of income for the entire state. Where as Bihar is still requesting for special status as they fare poor in all fields compared to others.

So a plan can be made to combine three or four state to gain the best possible outcome.

If J&K, Haryana, Punjab, Uttaranchal and UP Combine, they have some power to define terms in their region.

Similarly Gujarat and Rajasthan can combine, Orissa Bihar and Chhattisgarh.

MP, MH can form a single region.

The Northeast all can join the WB, also Sikkim to WB.

Down south it’s really a war of the states. Every state has its own regional political party, regional trade of business and regional advantage. Only thing might be Kerala should join Tamilnadu or Karnataka as per their interest. Or all the four can join to one single state or country, then there is every chance the global ranking increases.

All the above-mentioned are just a perspective; I am not saying it is mandatory for the states to be united to get them recognised.

Globally there is every chance that the Indian Union can beat the European union and can go one level higher. We still know that the 41% of Indian population is below the poverty line, this issues can be addressed and reduced easily, once you are divided you get to know how this 41% is divided regionally and the lowest can be concentrated for being better, thus reducing the BPL value.

When it comes to education all the regions have one esteemed university that provides international level of education. Every region has its own Millionaires who are at some rank in the top 100s. Every state has its own Co-operative banks run for the people. The nationalised banks still can do better once divided as they can also boast of their branches across the globe.

Every state at an average of 500KM has an airport, so connectivity between the regions should not be a concern. The state government in most cases already own the roadways; only the highways differ from state to the national which has nothing much to do here, they will do what they are doing now, still we pay tolls at national highways and not knowing whether it reaches the right person or the department.

The education system will be different. The sports development increases naturally, we have almost an international recognised team in all possible Olympic Sport but we are not able to perform up to the expectation.

Already we take feature films different for different region of people also the box office for most of the films released today are faring well.

Given a separate status and free governing authority over the state will definitely differentiate people between others, still you cannot say people do not boast. We are made to showoff the importance one self and of the place from our early child hood days itself.

The biggest advantage might be in reduction of Corrupt officers and Corruption.
There will be better government institutions and the elected representative will do well for the people and betterment of his/her region.
There will be proper utilisation and distribution of your taxes. There is every chance the difference between the service tax and service charge collected in any restaurant is known, reduced or even abolished.

The Law body can remain the same only thing is the supreme court that is the final decision making authority might have to face less charges or cases.The Judgement and hearings from the High courts will be faster. There will be better implementation and followers of law.

The saying A law maker should not be a law breaker will be witnessed.

The one big disadvantage might be the operation of railways and Defence as discussed earlier.

If there is capability to run the banks regionally then there has to be options to operate the railway’s region wise. We have zones of railways so that it self can help in diversification of the world’s largest rail network.

The telecommunication is already divided as, if we are out of our home network we are roaming in other region; I think that is where the first hint of diversification started.

So there might be chance of survival of the fittest, if there exists a chance in the future that India is divided from republic of India to Indian Union, still everyone gets to have their own chosen government by elections and taxes vary from place to place. You get to enjoy more benefits if your region is doing better than the others.

As we all know the universal Joke on the UN worldwide survey.

The only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a huge failure...
In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
And in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

So the divide and rule concept can work out better in years to come for the development and sustaining ourselves for the global requirement.

All thoughts of readers are welcome.

Please don’t say I am a Desa Drohi, I still cast my vote to elect the right government.

This post of a mere thousand words is just a thought; if you give a deep dive you can understand where the divisions of states is heading.

The Three Foodies !! - 1 - Andhra Bhavan Canteen, Central Secretariat- Delhi

After being idle for a month at delhi knowing my route from my guesthouse to the office, I wanted to explore the place, as I am at Delhi for the first time.

I had my two buddy friends a Keralite Tamilian and another Chennai Tamilian, who eat and crave for good food. So I will be posting our experience of hotels and street foods that we had in and around Delhi.

All these started as we wanted a reason to explore the place, you can say tourism but that will be a planned one. We wanted to roam around places and in the same do something useful out of it. So we started on a mission to find good South Indian foods across the places of Delhi.

So I am just going to explain the place, type of food they serve, what we had. My satisfaction to the money I paid and after effect of the food taken. I know there are many blogs out there giving in detail infomation and hotel owned web sites that explain their cuisine better.

This is just for the humor and the satisfaction to explain foodies culture from my end.

The first thing that comes to mind at Delhi for someone from Tamil nadu is the rice that you would have missed and the smell of sambar and rasam. The right place is the Andhra Bhavan(AB) Canteen run by the Andhra State house at Delhi.

The only servings offered is full south indian meals consisting of the Nellore Boiled Rice, A sambar, Rasam, Curry, Roti/poori, Pappu(Dhaal), Curd, Sweet. All these are vegetarian.

This is what a full meals plate in the AB canteen is served, the cost per plate is 100/-INR and they offer unlimited serving.

For a non-vegetarian they have the side dish as Chicken and Fish Fry/Masala costing 120/- to 150/-INR.

To reach this place, you can take a share auto from Central secretariat Metro station, the charge is nominal maximum of 20/person INR.

Once you reach the canteen, you will have to collect the token paying in advance for the food that you are going to have, Meals is common to all and side dish differs from order to order. There is no extra service tax or VAT to be paid. What amount is displayed on the menu is what you will have to pay.

The token has a number and is called by a manager and he will guide you to your seat. Please note I have not missed a month, its always rush on weekends and during night in the weekdays. So you will have to wait for minimum of twenty minutes to get your seats on any given day.

The canteen is closed on all public holidays. Also on Tuesdays.

Once you are at your seat another manager collects the bills or the recipient you had already paid in advance . He gives the nod to serve the food, only on his nod you get to have your food served.

The plate with a sweet and bowl curd already present is served first. Then you are served with the Curries and Pappu. Then you can have either roti/poori which is unlimited.

Once you are satisfied with poori/roti for starters, you can request the server to serve with boiled rice. In the mean time you will have two bowls filled with Sambar and Rasam respectively served.

Once the rice is served, its customary to start with Parupu Podi (Dhaal Powder) and Ghee with the rice at any Andhra Canteen. Then you can go on with you style of eating. The traditional Gongura Pickle is available a plenty for your taste.

You have your side dishes served separately. The best part of the food is so Spicy, I would recommend you to save the sweet for the last after you have curd.

The curd and sweet is limited, if you want extra then you will have to pay additional 20/-INR respectively for the same quantity.

On Sundays you get to have The famous Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani, but  this is only for the early bird that catches the prey. I remember my friends missing the Biryani at 1 30 PM IST. The Biryani is served only on Sundays.

The morning are served with Pongal and idli, and I think most people do not have or engage themselves for the breakfast at AB Canteen. The reason being everyone here misses the rice, sambar, rasam in their daily routine, so everyone prefers having their full meals either in afternoon or for Dinner.

The one thing that every South Indian at Delhi would love to get themselves killed for the food they serve. The reason being you do not get the southern taste in such a good quality, QUANTITY in that price.

There are Southern Chain of restaurants like the Famous Saravana Bhavan, The Sagars' but the cost of food is high and they serve only limited food.

So first place successfully explored and enjoyed is Andhra Bhavan Canteen- Central Secretariat, Delhi. Please note the canteen is closed on Tuesdays and all public Holidays. Also the rates mentioned are subject to change.
