Philoid · Accepted Answer

No, it would not be in tune with the idea of federalism because:

1. There are also several issues other than linguistic differences. It is not easy to resolve this dispute merely on the basis of linguistic majority. There could be dispute over certain territory or sharing of river water.

2. Combing states would lead to imbalance of distribution of resources due to large population.

3. It would become hard for the government to handle a large territory.
