The population of Sri Lanka is slightly less than the major metro areas of India. Also, the Indian union is organized around linguistic units. People in Sabaragamuwa speak the same language as the people in the South or NCP. We have no regional linguistic differences within communities.
One of the trends in post independent India has been for states to break up into even more smaller units. In 1970, the north eastern region of India was one state. Today it is seven states.
Also, imagine giving police powers to these local units after having an armed terrorist movement for the last 25 years. It is a dangerous recipe and a formula for disaster.
The provincial council system in Sri Lanka is testimony to the waste of resources and dysfuntion that results from devolving power to local governments in a small country.
