The giant door opened as a young adult, adorned in imperial robes, walked in.
"Long live your majesty, long live, long live," Vijay was greeted as soon as he entered the hall. He waved his hand for everyone to sit down, slowly walking towards the podium and took a moment to look at all the anticipating faces in the crowd of ministers. Without wasting any time, Vijay nodded and delved straight into his speech. "Today marks themencement of the initial reform discussions, with many more to follow. The primary agenda for today is determining the administrative divisions within the empire."
As the purpose of the gathering became clear, everyone exchanged nces, realizing why his majesty had convened them. The ministers held their anticipation, awaiting Vijay''s next words.
"With our empire experiencing considerable growth, managing it through traditional means has be challenging due to the substantial increase in poption. Consequently, I''ve resolved to undergo aprehensive overhaul of the administrative divisions within our empire."
"Let''s begin by establishing the foundation of our empire. The social structure will be organized into three living environments: uuru (vige), grama (town), and nagara (city). A uuruprises more than 100 houses or families, while a grama consists of over 1000 houses or families with multiple streets. As for a nagara, it should have a minimum of 10,000 houses or families, ranging up to a poption of 100,000."
"Everyrger uuru is to be equipped with essential facilities, including a Panchayati, police station, post office, and a school. While some services might be overlooked for very small and isted uuru''s, having a Panchayati is non-negotiable. Viges with post offices will be considered a distinct administrative unit slightlyrger than a uuru, categorized under a grama referred to as ''post''."
"Every grama, without exception, must house a police station, post office, multiple schools, and a gram panchayat."
"A grama surrounded by uuru''s andrger than typical grama will be designated as a taluk, functioning as the administrative area overseeing all the uuru''s under its influence. A taluk is mandated to have and audit bureau."
"Above the taluk, there is another administrative division that is also a grama, but this grama should have a poption and size closer to some small cities. It should have administrative control over its surrounding taluks. This specific grama will be called a Mandal grama (district)."
"Next, wee to Nagara (cities). A nagara should have, without any excuse, multiple police stations, multiple post offices, numerous schools, multiple courts, differentnd audit bureaus, and a panchayat."
"A Nagara, which is considered as a core driving point for the whole state, could be deemed as the state Kendra Nagar (capital)."
"A Kendra Nagar, without any exception, is also expected to have a University of higher learning along with police, military, and naval academies," Vijay said as he took a cup of water beside him and drank it to quench his thirst. On the other hand, all the ministers were diligently writing down whatever Vijay conveyed.
"As we move to the broader administrative scale, the Empire will be segmented into eight states."
"These states will be allocated based on ethnic groups, epassing Kannadigas, Tamilians, Myalees, Telugollu, Sinhalese (Lanka), Marathis, Odia, and the Chhattisgarhis."
"Each of these ethnic groups predominantly resides in eight distinct parts of the Empire. With the Empire named Bharat, it is only fitting that each region takes pride in its cultural heritage. Previously, under the Vijayanagar Empire, the focus was on unification, and regionalism was not encouraged. However, now that we all share themon mothend, Bharat, I am granting freedom to these ethnic groups to embrace their own cultures and take pride in their heritage. Consequently, I have chosen to name each state after the illustrious empires that have flourished in their respectivends."
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback by the decision his majesty made. Wasn''t his majesty afraid of regional conflicts and riots? Vinod, the new prime minister, decided to ask directly.
"Your majesty, will doing this not reduce the control of the Empire on these regions? Also, I suspect that regional conflicts will ur if the regional pride of the ethnic groups overwhelms the national pride."
Vijay, upon hearing the question, nodded his head in acknowledgement, as he could also understand Vinod''s plea. However, he shook his head and replied,
"Your concern would be valid, and I would share those worries if we were still the Vijayanagar Empire. However, as a unified Bhartiya nation, Bharat holds a paramount position as the most significant spiritual entity in this subcontinent. Also, I have to rify that I never suggested grantingplete control; instead, measures will be in ce to prevent any misuse of the empire''s benevolence. Primarily, the Empire will directly centralize military, police, and financial control over the regions. Furthermore, in the educational domain, emphasis will be ced on the concept of Bharat, introducing regional cultures only after students have gained aprehensive understanding of Bharat."
Hearing Vijay''s measures, Vinod let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the military and financial control would still be under the empire''s government, if So, he was not worried.
"As the inaugural state, dedicated to the Kannadigas, the original home of the Vijayanagara Empire and a torchbearer for the Bhartiya Empire, I proudly announce that the Vijayanagara Empire stands as the strongest and most illustrious empire ever produced by the soil and people of Kannada. Therefore, the region where the Western and Eastern Ghat ranges converge into the Nilgiri hillplex, in the western part of the Dan Peninsr region of Bharat, will be known as the state of Vijayanagara. The administrative Kendra Nagar of the state will be the current capital of the Empire, Hampi. Mangalore will serve as the economic Kendra Nagar, and the cultural and educational Kendra Nagar will be a fusion of two historic towns, Vpuri and Dwarasamudra,ing together to form Hoys, named after the great Hoys dynasty (10th to 14th Century)."
Apuse echoed throughout the hall as Vijay concluded his deration.
" Now, Speaking of Tamilians, renowned for their rich cultural heritage and a grand empire equal to any in Bharat, the region inhabited by Tamilians will be known as Chpuri. Positioned on the southeastern coast of the Bharatiya penins, Chpuri will be bordered by the Western Ghats and Dan teau to the west, the Eastern Ghats to the north, the Eastern Coastal ins along the Bay of Bengal to the east, and the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait to the southeast.
Chpuri receives its name in honour of one of the greatest Bhartiya Samrajyas, the Ch Empire. The Ch Dynasty, reigning from the 9th to the 13th centuries in Dakshin Bharat, boasted a vast empire spanning southwest Bharat and extending beyond to the Mi Penins. It stands as Bharat''s most eminent naval empire. The administrative Kendra Nagar of Chpuri will be the sacred city of Meenakshi Amma (Diety), Madurai. Chennai will serve as the economic Kendra Nagar of the state, and for the cultural and educational Kendra Nagar of the Chpuri state, Thanjavur will hold this distinguished position due to its ancient roots and being the capital of the great Ch Empire. n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"The state for the Marathis will be named after one of the great Maratha kingdoms, the Satavahana Kingdom. The Satavahana Kingdom as an ancient Bharatiya dynasty that thrived from around the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE is a perfect choice. The Kendra Nagar of the state will be Pune, the economic Kendra Nagar of the state will be Mumbai, along with the cultural Kendra Nagar being the holy city Nashik."
