Telangana: At 66, Mother India gets ready for her 29th baby

A TOI headline that made me laugh and cry at the same time. It’s been ages that I found something so very amusing

For the past few years, I have been seeing a lot noises, anger, riots and drama over this twenty-ninth state of India. But what troubles me more is….any guesses???

Our kids will have a new chapter to learn on this new state in Social Sciences.   When I was in school, I had to memorize sixteen states, 4 union territories and their capitals. Now our kids will have to learn about twenty-nine states and seven union territories. Which effectively means that we’ll have to learn that many more.

Jokes apart, now that Congress has helped Mother India give birth to her 29th baby, I see some groups celebrating and some fighting.God knows in the coming days, how many more states are going to be created.

All I have to ask is, “Is all this helping us move in the right direction?”

Don’t  be amused by my query. I ask so, because I believe in United we stand, Divided we fall. Back before independence, the Mughals and British came and divided us and succeeded in ruling. Now we ourselves are letting political parties and religious leaders divide us further. The more we are getting divided, the farther we are moving away from one another and thus increasing risks for each.

How many more divisions?

How many more blood sheds?

Till when?
