The founding fathers found that India consisted of 700 different spoken languages, all the major religions of the world, various tribal groups, castes and subcastes. It was necessary to have a strong central government to unite the people and give them a sense of one country. After 54 years of independence, it is time to reevaluate the constitutional framework.
Centralized bureaucracy makes it difficult for masses to reap the rewards of commerce.
In many cases the bureaucracy is not aware of the local needs, or simply does not understand the local customs. It is time to give smaller units, in this case states, more freedom to shape their own destiny. We go one step further and suggest similar autonomy to all the states. This can only result in efficient commercial practices and stronger economy. Fears that this will lead to the breakup of the country should be addressed by constitutional checks and balances.
