Telangana??

There is a great debate going on through the whole of India. Its on the creation of new states, particularly Telangana. I just read an editorial in Economic Times. People everywhere is pondering over questions on the viability of the new state. Whether the new one will be able to support itself better than before? Whether the new one will cater to the social or economical need of the people? Whether the new state fulfil the greed of the local politicians? I think that this realm of discussion should also include the questions about the parent state, the state from where the new one is born.
Bihar, as an example, has nothing much other than agriculture to run its economy. It was already the poorest state of India, almost equivalent to Chad. Now, as it is said, it is left with only 'Bhayy' (Fear), 'Bhook' (Hunger) and 'Bharashtachaar' (Corruption). Though many people can argue with me on this but I just tried to give an example rather than giving exact facts about Bihar.
In a similar state, before carving out Telangana, I will suggest the Govt. to first study its impact on all the affected people and then only take any further step.
