Not really, then every sect, race, communities, ethnic tribes… will start asking for the autonomy and that will hardly solve the problem but chaos will spill over and over. As we have seen that the countries that were parted in the past were not at ease today even. There are so many example and Indo-Pak relations, Russian relations with its neighbors (e.g. poland, Check republic, Georgia ) who became independent after Russian fall in 1991, North and South Korea and the list goes on and on. Take any example and tell me that countries are at ease after segregation. And the situation is not going to change if the same happens to Kashmir, Kosovo, Indonesia or Palestine. So, autonomy is not at all a solution.

I don’t agree with the idea of smaller states. If you tell me that smaller states help solve religious, ethnic and cultural problems, I would say,you are overlooking many other important dimensions of thought. Smaller states become financially dependent when there is a need for rapid development or even during emergencies. Smaller states suffer due to lack of human resources. Smaller states are even politically very vulnerable . Just go through the coups that have occured in the last 5 years, they are all in smaller states. There are also serious doubts over their ability to resist foreign invasion. Moreover unless smaller states occupy an economically important place in the world trade, they end up being having no voice of their own like Sri Lanka or the African nations for that matter. If it were a debate between autonomy and complete separation, autonomy is the solution. Kosovo and East Timor are results of deliberate ignorance and morally corrupt arrogance. Korea separated because US and USSR bit their pieces and raped the hermit land.
