Going by that same principle where does one stop.. balakanization to the level of village where every village swear by an autonomous sovereign state or some district or some state .. where is the end to this nonsense..
I find it patently undesirable and stupito hide behind the free will because by extrapolation total free will is total anarchy.. Yes your basic rights are not being respected then I can see the point.. When you have no say in your own govt formation and in your own pursuit to get elected then I can see the point otherwise this free will is another name of complete anarchy..
Lets first clarify the position on the basic principle... because in the application of principle just as there must be a reasonable point at which it is not applicable there is also a point at which it starts to apply , what that point is..., is a different question altogether
