Through electoral democracy, hindi votebank rules via numerical superiority. That creates hindi domination. Central government is be all end all in india so hindi belt runs indian government and exploits coastal non-hindi productive nations. Along with hindi belt, internal northeast, punjab, coastal odisha also joins this exploitation. Punjab and northeasten states bargain more freebies via threat of cessation, they actually do not seek to separate.
Hindi domination creates Gujarati, Rajasthani, Haryanvi, Sindhi etc baniya monopoly in economy. Only baniyas are allowed to own capital and state policies are made it such way. Baniya hegemony is maintained through hindi domination.
Through votebank reservation and other freebies of reserved castes and tribes established via exploitation of general castes.
Whoever forms votebanks gains their share according to bargaining power.
Upto 90s india maintained baniya hegemony through license raj and hindi domination through anti-colonial sentiments. India played the 'Democratic Socialist' card to gain blank cheques from USSR and maintaining their exploitative structure.
After 90s, this changed into 'West has democracy, west is best, so democracy is best.' But after USA hegemony is weakened, India needs new justifications for legitimacy. Then tgis new Indian nationalism and hindutva emerged. Rise of China has threatened Indian ruling class so much that they have decided that the heterogenity is a threat. So they seeks to homogenise india as soon as possible. This was always goal of indian ruling class but they did it in slow-poisoning manner so that nobody can understand what was happening. But indian ruling class has decided that this process was too slow and time is running out. So they have entered into direct and quick mode. This has also revealed the reality of indian state.
In slow-poisoning mode, indian polktics had several compradors and lackey beneficiaries like leftists, caste lobbies, postmodernist lobbies, religious minority lobbies etc. They often acted as diversion, controlled opposition and agents of state itself. But indian state has reached a material condition where they does not require any lackeys anymore. They are in a direct mode now so its over for compradors. But the more indian state is trying to homogenise, the more internal contradictions are getting significant. This will play crucial role in future.
With China's rise, all indian state constructs are slowly falling apart and also creations of anglo hegemony is getting irrelevant. This will also play another crucial factor.
