Why Poitical stability eludes Jharkhand ?
It appeared right since the day Jharkhand was created that crying for Adivasis only would go against the cause of development. Development in any form today leads only to development on the modern lines seen in Delhi , Mumbai and other Metros. Built on modern scientific tools these developments have at their root a clear vision that can come only through sound background and quality education.
Unfortunatley, the premise that Adivasis should be given the leading role in Jharkhand undermined the above needs of the state.
Lack of education, experience of public life and a sharp division on ethnic lines of Adivasis created a situation that threatens the political stability in the foreseeble future too ,relegating a state ,rich in mineral deposits, remaining amongst the poorest states of India.
The million dollar question is what to do to have a politically stable Jharkhand. Stable , because stability only can reinfroce the thinking of development.
Suggestions that come to mind easily are breaking away from the sentiments and search a person on merit rather than on ethnic lines. People of the stature of Yashwant Sinha, the ex Finance minister of India, Subodh Kant Sahay or numerous others known for their farsightedness should be allowed to take reign of the state.
Look where the other newy created states have reached in such a short time. Chhattisgharh, Uttarakhand have created a niche for themselves by now. Considered unfit for industrialisation, Uttarakhand has attracted a great number of medicine manufacturers in the state by giving all kinds of support to flourish. Chhattisgarh though facing a bit of Naxalite problem is another good example of a developing statte where political stability seems to be a non issue.
A considerable way to solve the instability syndrome is to enlarge the size of the Legislative assembly of Jharkhand. With the present size of 42 it is easy for some disgruntled and selfseeking souls among the MLAs , mostly the free radical independents to create havoc when a party does not get majority to rule. This has been seen on more than one occassion happening in the state. 2 to 5 MLAs become all powerful and start dictating the terms to the entire state.
There could be more ways to solve the problem of political instability and it is expected that concerned persons shall come out with better ideas for it looks ridiculous that a state which should have reached the pinnacle of development is loitering at the nadir of the development table, in India !!
