Some argue that central-government paralysis is inevitable in a democracy of 1.2 billion people, and that the only way to re-energize India is to establish a looser confederation of its constituent states. Devolution would unshackle the economically more successful states.
有人认为，对一个12亿人口的民主国家来说，中央政府的瘫痪在所难免，让印度重获生机的唯一办法是在各邦之间建立一个更松散的联邦。权力下放能放松较成功邦的经济束缚。此外，通过解决经济疲软邦依赖援助的文化，从长期看印度贫困地区也可以获利。
