I have for some time now been of the view that India should function as a federation of states with total fiscal autonomy, but a common army and an Interpol- type law and order mechanism.
It now turns out it’s not my original idea, but was originally proposed by Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Lord Mountbatten. Who should bring this to light (again, perhaps) but Jaswant Singh and his comments on Jinnah.
The beauty of India is the seamless manner in which it appears as a country inspite of more diversity than any nation on earth. The truth is harsher.
