South Indian from a minority group here. The partition was pretty fucking stupid. I'd rather if there were no partition, but federation of power to states, divided on linguistic basis. India has a sub-nationalism problem. Kannada and Malayali chauvinists destroyed not just mine, but countless languages and cultures. Similarly, Bengali destroyed the tribal culture in Orissa and Jharkhand, and Hindi language in cow-belt areas.

When you say federation of power to states, do you mean you would want a federal government with several smaller states/provinces with substantial powers? Or several small countries?

European Union kind, but with the concept of India still being a country, governing not states, but sub-nationalities. Some amount of centralization should still exist with respect to defense, unequal fund allocation and the likes. Oh, and I forgot to add this - dual citizenship should be enforced compulsorily. Single citizenship is what's caused dangerous, destructive territorial nationalism primarily on the basis of Hindi and Hindu identity.
