BUNDELKHAND is a fertile land, full of minerals. But due to lack of policies for proper water management, the irrigation system is too poor. The main business ie agriculture is totally dependent on nature. So it requires best policies and efficient administration, which can be achieved only when the state becomes small in size.
Sanjay Pandey, the convener of
’Bundelkhand Ekikrit Party’ says that there is a single solution to develop Bundelkhand region. The solution is, own statehood.
He says that just the diamond mines of Panna district earn Rs 700 crores for Central government and Rs 1400 crores for Madhya Pradesh (MP) government per year. But if the state is created, then this revenue will be used to develop their own region. After formation of Bundelkhand state, the administration will also be efficient. Industrialisation will also increase, leading to means of employment.
The four crore people of Bundelkhand speak Bundeli language and practice the same culture throughout. So they collectively deserve their statehood. Pandey, the leader of Bundelkhand Ekikrit Party says that the area of Bundelkhand region is nearly 2.5 lakh square kilometres, which is more than the combined areas of Tripura, Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Mizoram and Manipur. If Bundelkhand is formed, it will be the
ninth biggest state of India.

Not bad.
How about dividing India into small small states , each consists of 2.5 square centimeters?
The photo you have taken from Wikipedia is nice.
Ofcourse it would be nice to see the Bundelkhand tableaux too in the Republic Day parade of India.
I would like to know from where did you get the data that says making seperate state would contrubute to the economic well being of a region? Just for starters , can you compare Gujarat and Kerala or Andhra and Sikkim. Let us see to where it leads us.

It's all about money and power over others isn't it ?
Everytime diamonds, oil or other resources are found - someone wants to divide it and take it.
Consider this, without the central government discovering the diamonds and investing to mining it none of the Bundeli would even be aware of the possible greed and fortunes., now that the major work has been done.
As a side note - You may own the land above the ground. What is below is owned by the government. Also readup on DeBeers family and how the price of diamonds is controlled.
