Economic_viability: Many smaller states face severe fiscal deficits, lack of a robust tax base, and high dependency on central transfers (e.g., many North-Eastern states).
Administrative_costs: The creation of new states necessitates new bureaucracies, secretariats, and legislative assemblies, which significantly increases the recurring expenditure of the state.
Inter_state_conflicts: State formation often triggers disputes over water sharing (e.g., Krishna water dispute), boundary demarcations, and the division of assets and liabilities.
Risk_of_fragmentation: Continuous demands for smaller units may lead to excessive regionalism, potentially undermining national integration and social cohesion.
