"Creating smaller states without devolving more power from the center to the states will only create a powerful union government and several weak states. That imbalance will eventually harm cooperation and stability. Stronger states are essential for a healthy federal structure so simply dividing states is not a solution unless deeper devolution happens first. Most governance challenges can be addressed by giving cities and urban local bodies more space to plan execute and innovate. Karnataka does not need to be broken up.

"A message to Hubballi and Mangaluru. "Do not sell nostalgia. Do not recreate Bengaluru." There is a popular way of framing cities like Bengaluru today. Too big too crowded too expensive and increasingly unmanageable. That framing is not wrong. But it is incomplete. The other side of the story is that scale has produced something rare and powerful. Talent density. When enough ambitious people gather in one place belief becomes ambient. People move faster think bigger and take risks not because they are fearless but because they see others doing the same. The city quietly convinces you that"
