Confederation of Indian states

Some moons ago I had touted the idea of India breaking up into a Confederation of States, with a common army. Raj Thackeray’s actions seem to sort of vindicate that view. What has appalled me is everyone kowtowing to the idea that assimilating into the local culture was actually necessary and therefore, at heart, the MNS demand was right. Only their means of implementation was wrong. That is bullshit. If I am an Indian my constituitional rights guarantee I don’t need to speak a particular language to live anywhere in India. And that’s it. Fuck you and your Marathi.
