- From administrative point of view , UP government proposal to divide it into 4 smaller states is a necessity
- It will facilitate in equitable development
- UP government proposes to divide on regional cultural lines into
- Bundelkhand
- Awadh pradesh
- Purvanchal
- Paschim pradesh
- But from political point of view it is not desirable
- UP as of now sends 80 MPs to lok sabha
- This allows it to influence national policies more effectively than other states
- With division into 4 states, its clout in lok sabha will decline
- The instability in governments if small state is another reason for making the proposal unattractive
- However dividing India on basis of narrow identities goes againt the progressive idea of India that is characterised by unity in diversity
