Solution

The reorganisation of states on the basis of language is a complex issue. On one hand, it provides homogeneity to the local administration where coherence is shaped on the basis of shared characteristics and makes it easier for the people to air their developmental issues, thereby developing a strong sense of community. On the other hand, when people are organised on the basis of language, it tends to develop factions within the society. Regionalism and sub-nationalism come to the forefront. Though they people develop love and affection for the people of their own language, they might get averse to the people who speak other languages. It has a negative impact on federalism and national identity.
