Does shekhar want to talk about the state of electoral democracy and human rights in gujarat vs west bengal? Or are such topics relevant only if it can be used to target the ruling national party?

@MathewJohn-gj5xn kerala has higher HDI than gujarat, why is it then that the educated youth of kerala are not staying back in kerala and helping propel the state forward? What forces these educated yluth to find jobs in UAE, europe, usa or in other states outside kerala? Doesnt the high HDI of gods own country compensate for everything else? Why would the youth of kerala prefer working their asses off in the dubai heat under a islamic emirati regime instead of wnjoyung the cool weather of the communist utopia that is kerala?

@sauron2000000 entire dakshin kannada? Dont assume just because there is huge muslim population in dalshin kannada. There are no non muslims in that region. But you completely ignored mybpoint and tried to insinuate something else entirely. Where does a educated youth from dakshin kannada go seeking employment? Does she go to kerala which has high HDI ? Or is finding a job in katnataka much easier for her?

@agonnoga6100 many other southern states? Youvmean like TN? And who exactly chased Tata out of west bengal? What has that anything to do with being on any side? What about states like telengana and odisha? Which side were they on? Fact of the matter is that the fundamental policies of the state govt have significant impact on the wilingness of industries to set up shop in each state. But you want to portray as if west bengal was powerless from the start. Thats how you avoid all responsibility while enjoying all the power...

@MathewJohn-gj5xn gujaratis leave usually for usa where there is much more prospect for free enterprise than India. That was true especially 30 years ago, and now most gujarati families have eatablished businesses in north america . Even now the effect of that is that some gujaratis prefer to emigrate to support their family businesses abroad. Even though ease of setting up business and pursuing free enterprise has improved vastly in gujarat, the inertia due to existing family ties in usa still sustains the phenomenon of emigration. Is that the same case with people emigrating from kerala ? Do they do it because of choice or compulsion? After emigrating, do majority of immigrants do unskilled jobs, business or skilled jobs. Since kerala has such HDI compared to gujarat, shouldnt the people of kerala already be happy in their home state? Instead why do they feel the need or compulsion to move to someplace else to get work?

@agonnoga6100 why stop at the state level, why not govern India at the village levelbas thpusands of villages? Or is it that wanting governance at state level is just politically convinient for your narrative?

@agonnoga6100 the great governance of bengal was visible during the recent panchayat elections... for all the pride that the bengalis harbor for being the intellevlctual centre of pre independence India, bengal is now so rife with corruption that every bengali that I have met has such a level of scepticism and distrust of the government machinery, with such a trivial take on corruption being such a normal phenomenon. UP was like that about 10 years ago but not now. It takes a leader with a certain level of integrity to inspire confidence in the people for the government machinery. The cronies of TMC will never enjpy that privilage that is the trust of the people...

@agonnoga6100 the british didnt create the union of India. Sardar Patel did - he did it by unitinf 500+ princely provinces - through diplomacy and force. State govts have already a say in local administration and various aspects of economic policy. But they can never be given full control because the states are organised merely for administrative convinience. So called state identities are modern constructs by political parties and anti India outfits to create differences among people. The states have no right to become independent because the states did not gain their independence by themselves from the british. All the people of India that formed the union of India did. If any state wants its independence then let it fight the idea of Bharat and we will see who llhas greater resolve. The khalistanis didnt have the resolve nor did kashmiri seperatists - becauae there were enough patriots in p7njab and kashmir to deal with such vile secessionists. If you want to try, you are free to act but not free from the consequences of your actions...

@MathewJohn-gj5xn do you base this claim on some wel documented statistical report? How can you ignore the fact that atleast 40% of hotel owners in usa are gujaratis? Are you incapable of answering questions regarding emigration from kerala despite having high HDI? Or are you just happy in using individual cases of illegal immigration to construct a narrative? I too can create such narratives with ease, given how many fraudulent agencies in kerala expolit the poor with promises of jobs in the gulf. But when these hapless poor reach the gulf states , their passports are seized and they are forced into modern sl@very, working in inhumane unsafe conditions doing menial tasks in the desert heat. That doesnt seem to stop the emigration of keralites to the gulf. Now why would people continue this process when there is evidence that in majority of cases the level of human comfort afforded to a poor emigrant from kerala in dubai is much worse than what they can get in kerala?

@MathewJohn-gj5xn and yet you are unable to address why people are emigrating from your so called Indian norway? Why arent all those people in kerala happy with their high HDI? Is your brain even capable of recogonising how stupid your obtuse arguments are?

@MathewJohn-gj5xn while gujarat is investing in water conservation and reenewable integration, kerala is busy with ubviable subsidies, rampant corruption in land allotment in ecoloflgically sensitive areas, etc. Kerala govt literally begs the gujarati Adani to set up vizhinjam deepwater port in Thiruvananthapuram because the communist comrades are not good for doing actual work in a efficient manner. That is why even the daughter of the communist (cpim) cm pinarayi vijayan is an enterpreneur whose companybis situated not in kerala but in bangalore - because even the daughter of pinarayi doesnt think much abput so called high HDI of kerala..

@agonnoga6100 if such a referendum is held, even then Indians are so individualistic that they would prefer holding on to power in smaller weaker states that can easily be conquered instead of opting to join a union that guarenteed greater security, economic prospects and global bargaining power. Selfish leaders would prefer having their own private countries that they can control and benefit from instead of thinking about the future 10 generations or more. That is independent of who is the ruler - be it the king of travancore or the nizam of hyderabad. It took the iron will of Sardar Patel by hook or crook to unite modern India and no negotiation can be done to question challenge or threaten that unity...

@agonnoga6100 you are comparing India with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh? The two nations certainly have a higher per capita gdp than India - but the fact that sri lanka had almost twice the per capita gdp of India dosnt stop its bankruptcy or its dependence on china... China is kicking us around? Last i saw, china was crying to India to let BYD invest in India - why hasnt BYD tried to invest in bangladesh or sri lanka if they are so much better than India? What prevents china from invading India? I would say that it is the threat of nuclear annhilation. Now could India had hoped to have acquired nukes unless it was India? To most of the rest of the world, Indians are just pagans - they dont care if ypu are gujrati or bengali, we are ale the same brown skinned stinky bobbleheads. As for the referendum, i said local leaders would prefer concentratimg power in their hands rather than ceding thr power to the union. That is not a statement on the opinion of the common man or the average individual - and everyone saw what value local overlords hold on the opinion of the common man in the recent west bengal panchayat elections. You still have the freedom to challege the existence of the union of India. Like i said, ypu have no freedom from the consequences of such actions. Why dont you try challenging the union and rush headlong towards your fate? Enough Indians have a clear idea of what their nation is, for those who are enimocal to thay concept of the Indian nation, i wish you carry out what you blabber on about and meet the full weight of the consequences of your actions...

@ahana809 exactly, women getting ra@ped in bengal doesnt matter to you but it does matter to me what happens in 2002 and manipur. I guess for you anything is justified in bengal as long as the party you hate loses. Pathetic...

 @Shaurya_Pant address the point instead of quoting famous literature. Better yet, read "animal farm" anf keep bleating "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others"...
