Despite protests, India is right to
create smaller states like the new state of Telegana. Speaking on ABC
Radio National, Professor Mattoo said the decision to carve out a new state of
Telegana from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh could be seen as a political
maneuver by India’s ruling Congress Party to win votes in areas that would come
under the new state. However, he told Radio
National’s Waleed Aly that the principle that smaller states can be better
managed than massive ones is a sound one.
