The increasing demand for new states raises a number of questions with regard to the well-being of India’s federal democratic polity. There are four measures that must be considered while devising any framework to address the issue of federal
reorganisation. These are: the constitution of a permanent State Reorganisation Commission, amendment of the Constitution to
ensure that the demand for a new state emanates from the state legislature and not at the centre, examination of economic and
social viability rather than political considerations and clear-cut safeguards to encourage democratic concerns like development and governance rather than religion, caste and language as valid grounds for a new state.
