4.2.5. Adjudicating the Existing Demands of Statehood

Lastly, any future SRC would need to adjudicate on other actually existing demands for statehood — in Gorkhaland, Vidarbha, Bodoland, Bundelkhand, Harit Pradesh and elsewhere. A question that any future SRC would — or should — not easily find an answer to is that of the "right" size of a state. There is no one-size-fits-all or abstract answer to which regions should become states. States can only emerge as a compromise or balance between regional political cultures, identities and demands for recognition, geographies and economic factors.
