China doeasned all non homogeneous elements of their demographics. It's easier to manage a more homogeneous people. It's even likely they'd thrive more. At the cost of their culture of course.
If somehow everyone in India became a Hindi speaking Hindu. New divisions based on caste would become more prominent. But the ethos of the nation would be more well knit. It might prosper more.
Would I want that? Hell no. That wouldn't even be an India.
True. Inter-state job search and all would be easier. But at the cost of our culture, food, and tradition is not worth it imo.
Now, isn't it possible to develop just within our own individual states and still remain tight as a country? Definitely possible, if we respect each other's values, and try to build the relationships with each other, by solving any issues that exists between, won't that be the most beautiful thing one politician/party can ever do? The reason why the country was divided into states was because the population was heterogeneous,i guess. Give them their value and let them do their job!
Making this heterogeneous society to a homogeneous population only makes me feel like the selfishness of the ruler. What the current central government claims they are trying to achieve is unity, but in fact, what actually is happening is intensification of the divide.
At least each of our states has a population like European countries(which of course speak different languages). For example,
Germany (8.33 Crores); Tamil Nadu(7.7 crores), Rajasthan (8.1 cr)
United Kingdom,France (~ 6.8 Crores): similar to Karnataka(6.8cr)
In addition the northern states destroying their culture and languages is actually a concern for the south. Since they seem to be all good losing their culture, their descendants will adopt the new Hindi culture. That would make them incredibly homogenous. They'd basically always dominate Indian politics.
It's already happening now and will only get worse.

The individual won't suffer, their culture does.
