Thoughts on Tilangana issue

Dividing states could be a problem for map makers.

Now, if the state's size gets smaller, it will be difficult to fit their names in their respective areas on the map.

Even if we form a separate state, we should atleast come up with a smaller name.

It wouldn't be so much of a problem, if it was a coastal state. We can easily write the name in the water body (thankfully India is blessed with waterbody on three sides) and indicate it to the state with an arrow.

Alternatively, the map makers can use smaller fonts sizes, or zoom in.
