Visiting, Revisitng Belguam (State of Karnataka, South India)
The border issue in Belgaum (belgavi) has been always an agenda while the elections are round the corner..We claim that we are a democratic country, but where is the basic ethic of democracy - FREEDOM of choice...its the right of the people who are staying in harmony for many decades to decide for themselves for their affiliations towards certain state. Ethically and linguistically belgaum has been diverse in its nature..this diversity is the unique selling point of the city..a perfect example of harmony...just for few and their ideological rhetoric it would be our foolishness to adhere to them irrationally ...in fact rationally thinking Belgaum is developing in all possible sense..i would strongly propose to make it as a economic capital of the State (karnataka)..we need 'mumbai' in Karnataka ...and Belguam along with Hubli does have strong potentials to be one ..we should get out these irrational disputes and think of making/remaking belgaum as a strong district....its a humble request to all the residents of belgaum to be rational and think of larger economic and social efficiency before taking any drastic step..violence and conflicts have yielded any fruitful results...

Your views are idealistic....
It is true that Belgaum becomes a 'slush of political debates', border issues to top the main agenda durnig elections. But that is not the only concern of the people. Bangalore, the state capital along with a few southern districts is where all the development is concentrated. In fact if you remove Bangalore and its surrounding areas out of the picture, Karnataka will be no more than a 'BMRU' state. According to me The political debates during elections are just to keep people far from real issues that the region faces.
Thank you for your comment...
I do agree that my views are idealistic, but not impossible .....i am concerned of the 'hope' which should keep us together for the larger good of the region and its sustainability.
It is seldom seen in Indian history, that without political aspiration to any issue, it does not get acknowledged for the mass. Since Belgaum has been politically appraised by many successive governments, its the right time to enlighten ourselves (esp. Masses) to react to such situations by being and thinking rationally.
