We have a national identity that is very strong. And devolving into different nation states won't solve anything - it will lead to wars and violence and a broken economy.

It is the Indian military and the fact that we have nuclear weapons that gives them pause.

What country reasons its existence on paranoia and fear factor. True India shall happen when federal states get functional and financial autonomy and decisions are not shoved down their throats through an imperial mechanism.
