Does a Bengali living in Punjab lose his/her cultural identity? What rationale does Telengana have to be separated from Andhra?

In India everyone is free to follow their cultures and religions as long as they do not try to hurt others.

By carving out Telangana the Congress led government party (even some allies are against it, not to mention the opposition from within), is giving impetus to Gorkhaland agitators, Kashmir separatists, and the like (there are at least 6-7 more such movements in the country).

The only reason the government is doing it is because they want to prevent BJP from establishing foothold in Andhra and also because they want to check their dwindling vote share.

It may be difficult for you to bring about a rationale of the decision made and reason the fight for the same within the state from outside.

In order to understand what it is for the people in the state, you need to be one among them.

You wont understand it even if someone explains the reasons. Because, it is more to do with peoples emotions out there than the logical reasoning.. after all politics cashed in all the agitation periods (split up in the decades and raised by political interests).

I do think that more divisions are necessary for a better future for India. That would be easier to administer economically. But that should be based on demographics not on emotions and politics.
