For those who don’t know me: I’m writing this as an Indian First, then an Andhra Pradesh Native and then an Hyderabadi.
This part of the post is to all the Telengana agitators and supporters – NOTHING is going to change people. It is you who should change. All you will be left with is dirty politics, corruption and naxalism. TRS or Congress or any other party is doing what ever you think ‘they are doing for good’ is NOT for your good but for the temporary power and to make something out of your sentiment. They are going to LOOT you. Everyone has a regional sentiment. That doesn’t mean you should go on the roads, protest and pelt stones at whatever you can when some selfish man says we need a separate state so that he too can be in power, don’t you think of how is it going to benefit you? How is it going to be different? Unless you are planning to send out all Andhra people out of Hyderabad and occupy their homes and properties. Is that your plan? Because I remember very well KCR saying this a few days back "Andhrawala Bhagoo, Telenganawala Jaago". Is that what you are up to? If that’s the case, then bring it on. We are all used to fighting for everything right? Fight with other states, fight with other religions, fight with other castes, fight with everyone you can whenever you get a chance. That is how we are always in India right? Bring It On!!!
I had a dream to settle down in Hyderabad – my chosen city. My Parents/Grandparents choose this city for investment thinking their next generation will prosper and grow as the city develops. And this is not just about me or my family. (I am not trying to be selfish even when there is a proper cause for the agitation) May be then they didn’t know that the Indian Government would one day become so weak that it would bow down to one man blackmailing by fasting and divide the state for selfish gain, give away a the capital city to gain politically. How long will it take for people to understand neither of these political parties are interested in the actual problems but are all interested in taking credit and saying that they are the ones who formed the state and they should be elected next time. JAAAGOOOO!
Don’t people understand the cost of dividing a state?
No matter who(Telengana or Andhra) gets Hyderabad or even if Hyderabad is made a free zone, the cost involved in this selfish decision is going to be paid by TONS of tax payers money to build new Infrastructure or share infrastructure.
If Hyderabad is going to be shared by both Andhra and Telengana, Neither would make the best out of it. Jobs wont be created by dividing the state. The existing jobs wont come to you because the company is in your region. Didn’t we learn anything looking at smaller states and free zones? Do we want more Jharkands and Chhattisgarhs? I am sure the division is going to benefit KCR and Naxals. Telengana is going to be a safe heaven for naxals. Mark my words!
For decades many families from Andhra settled down in The City of Hyderabad thinking and dreaming that their lives will become better as the city grew. I am no exception. I dreamed that I could settle down here at Hyderabad and build a beautiful house which my family will call Home. I called Hyderabad my Home! Even if I was in any of the of the Telengana districts, I would still call that my home because its in Andhra Pradesh. I never knew that the political parties that WE voted to power will shatter everything to gain a few votes and seats. Overnight my dream is shattered. If Hyderabad is not my state capital or if its not in my state, why would I want to be living here? Why would I want to pay my taxes here? Why would I want to part of the City’s development. Why would I be helping any business here? Why would I want to be a part of the city in the first place.
When I say Andhra, My heart says, hey its our Andhra Pradesh State. But when someone like KCR says you Andhra people, who is he talking about? Aren’t we(Telengana, Coastal and Rayalaseema) are all Andhra people? My mind is confused just like all my brothers and you cousins in different regions in the state. Someone who doesn’t know the meaning of "Divided We Fall" is trying to wake up that regional feeling and make the most out of it.
Now to the dirty political parties:
First to the Congress:
Rosaiyya: I thought you are one strong man when you didn’t let Jagan into power. I was impressed. Not just me, but no one wants Jagan expect some YSR sympathizers who think ministry means hereditary. I don’t want a man who drives 2 dozen high end sport-utility vehicles (wherever he goes) for no reason to rule my state. Does he know the meaning of the words "Pollution" and "Global Warming"? I am not ready to be ruled by a person who has a ton of allegations that sounds and looks to be true. I dont want to be ruled by a man who paints his face with a sad expression so that he can benefit his father’s death. And You can’t handle a few students wrongly encouraged by some political goons? You can’t handle one man threatening hunger strike? You can’t handle some political goons (who didn’t get any votes and are totally ruled out by their own people) when they ask for half a state as their own? Is that a piece of chocolate? When you can’t handle things you run to Delhi and ask Sonia to please just give them what they want? Is that what you said there? May be I was wrong. May be Jagan Mohan Reddy is a better choice and a better leader. May be he can fill the gap his father left.
How will people sitting in Delhi, understand what a common man here things? By seeing a few agitations and one man fasting on TV, you people think you know everything? Whom did you ask before making a statement? How can a common man reach you and tell this is not what everyone wants. Its your responsibility to study the facts and act accordingly, even if its making statements to calm someone for the time being. Your statements can create Panic and that is the state of this state now. At least the state of most of the state.
Do you even know why YSR never considered this as an issue? Why he never gave in when there was noise on this issue? Do you know why KCR never raised his voice when YSR was there in power? Even if KCR made some noise whenever he can, YSR knows the usual BS that KCR talks and never gave it any true value. Telengana people know this.
You are making a big mistake if this Telengana bill clears. This is the last time you are going to be in power here. Mark my words! Have you ever thought why YSR didn’t give Telengana though he promised earlier to win allies. Have you ever thought why would people in Telengana vote to Congress and not vote TRS (in the recent election) when we(meaning state Congress) are not willing to give Telengana? Even for a kid who does not understand complex political calculations, that means the majority thinks separate Telengana wont help and KCR/TRS talks only BS.
This is a State for Gods sake and PEOPLE live here. Not a Cake to be cut and divided on Birthdays. Soniaji – Happy Birthday by the way. There will be more wishes from my State to you and your team soon.
To the Telugudesam:
Babu Chandrababu, have you lost you mind? Rather I should say have you lost your balls? Where is that Chandrababu who was known as the man who developed Hyderabad and man who is against separate Telengana? Now the whole state knows that in the all party meeting you too supported the agitation and separate state bill to be introduced. Frankly, have you lost your balls? Someone threatened you? Or silly you – have been thinking you will get 1 or 2 seats in separate Telengana? I am not sure who in Telengana would vote for you. We in the IT industry liked you more than your opponent YSR even though he was more successful than you are in terms of winning people’s hearts because you brought up this IT industry in Hyderabad. You should be resigning from the TDP. I demand! You seem to become just like any other political rat craving for power and craving for any minute chances you can grab. You don’t deserve to be leading THE NTR’s party. Shame on you. Shame on you!!
To the BJP:
Only God knows what kind of cruel things you should be planning for the separate Telengana when you people agitated for the separate state. If there is one party that i would like to eliminate from my country without thinking, that would be yours. Yay! taaliya!!! You people are desh drohis to me. You don’t deserve to be citizens of India. Your parties and leaders would BURN in HELL. Like someone said, you people are not Ram Pujaris, you are Ram Bhejaris. I hope the meaning is clear. You made Ram the Hindu God your prostitute and you would do whatever it takes to impress the Hindu community for votes. Well, I am a TRUE Hindu and I am telling you, one day all Hindus will realize the dirty mind of yours and burn you alive and on that day, Ram will be proud again to see his Ram Rajyam without the dirty and sick BJP. Shame on you!!
It would be wrong if I don’t mention the Shiv Sena, MNS and Co., your cousins right? Shiv Sena? WTF man? Who gave you that name? You are an insult to the name of lord Shiva. Burn!!!
Oh btw, WTF do you(BJP) want in separate Telengana. I am not sure if there are many Muslims to mass murder or to do mass rapes in Telengana.
Ah…Hyderabad Muslims? Now I see what your idea is.
Burn in HELL. Remember!
To Chiranjeevi/Praja Rajyam:
I am wondering when you are saying that you are supporting separate Telengana – "who cares if you support or not?" May be you are planning for at least 1 seat in the separated Telengana? Who would vote you there when you cant convince the strongest of your regions to vote for you. Shame on you. Btw, even if you close the party and get back to movies, we wont be watching them. So, take some rest Chiru. Another important point is that candidates who want to stand for Praja Rajyam in separated Telengana, wont be having that much money (they plan to start from ground) to fill your pockets Unless they were already in power earlier in another political party and made some money through corruption. In real life you are not the people’s hero. You are not the Tagore in real life. You are going to fall. Mark my words!
To Loksatta:
Dear Jaiprakash Nayaran, I like the sound of your name itself. It sounds corrupt-free. I believed you are the only person who has some brain among the state political leaders. Not just that, I thought you were intelligent and know what you are talking always. I listen to your criticism on political parties and always found my leader in you. I would vote for your party without question, either you standing or any unknown candidate of yours. Because to many people like me, leaders like you are rare (at least that’s what we thought). You always talk facts and we the young generation like that.
But what happen to you? got threat calls and thought to give-up? Or got a piece of that Telengana NRI fund? How can you support separate Telengana. It was sad to see you give a statement that "congress is doing a mistake be delaying and not listening to people of telengana". You seem to be bribed. I lost hope on you. Convince me if it is otherwise.
Finally to the TRS:
Why the heck seperate telengana? do you even have a plan, a strategy of how would be improving the region? Your people didn’t even vote for you man. Dont you get it? You are making a big mistake by intimidating people. A BIG mistake by giving a wrong message to student communities. If at all you make it and get a separate state, one day i am sure, those students whom you inspired to throw stones in the city, will realize how selfishly you and your party wanted to cash out the regional sentiment and those students will then drag you on to the roads and make you run naked. Your heroism will be short lived.
Unless you people think, these rouge politicians will cash out on everything they can. Even God is not spared. But religion, caste, color, region – how does all this really matter?
Jaagooo brothers. How long man? How looooong?
Andhra Pradesh, as we call it(our home), will never be the same?
Who will answer all these questions?
All we are left with is questions, disappointment and anger.
======================================================
Update after seeing reader’s comments:
Guys, I respect the sentiment of Telengana and the people fighting for seperate state or any other region and I am not trying to be selfish! But the IDEA of splitting the State for betterment does not look like a proper solution. Think of this – When so many leaders came up till now (I am sure you elected Telengana People as leaders) 30-40 years and no development happened, how can forming a new state help? If funds from center is what the hope is about, why cant it be asking the state/center for development schemes, industries, projects and funds to the region while there is an united state?
A few other seperate state agitations resumed in other states because of Telengana agitation and the statement given by Congress on passing the bill. How many more states? Smaller states can easily fail. That’s definitely not the solution. Every state has regions/districts which are comparatively less developed that others. Does that mean the less developed areas should go separated? Every district should be a state because one district is better developed than the other.
Are the seperate Telengana supporters saying there are no regions/districts in Andhra/Rayalaseema that are lack development? Everything is like ram rajyam – full of green fields, people filthy rich, people eat 4 times a day, no problems, bindas life? what else are your assumptions? If you visited one or two places and think the whole state other than Telengana is like that, you are wrong.
If you think Congress or BJP(the only 2 main political parties in India) is interested in giving a seperate stage for Telengana, why are they not talking about development and welfare of the region? Why is it that they always keeping saying "we will give Telengana". Same applies to BJP – it didn’t talk about separating telengana when it was in power, why are they trying to support now? BJP also started supporting other agitations now in other states. Dont we get it? Every party other than the ruling one will try to support – because they can loot more.
The rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer.
Rather than asking for seperate state which will only lead to more problems like improper administration and quarrels(both internal and external) and corruption – why not ask for development of the region. We are not asking for it and they are not saying anything about it.
If the question is about dry lands and water, a seperate state meaning diverting waters going to other regions in the state? Or is there really a solution for both the regions that Telengana leaders or people have in mind? If there isn’t a solution for both the regions, separation will only result in fights between the two/three regions. Till now its fight for a seperate state, in future it will be fight for water just like the existing problems between states. Why wouldn’t anyone talk about sharing the resources peacefully with a proper plan?
I read in another Telengana blog suggested by a commenter below and it states jobs and waters are stolen and we will get them back. There might be dispute on waters which can be resolved with proper planning but how can jobs be stolen? Statements like these provoke people to freak-out and create violence. Is this what education and our culture thought us? If we are working in Chennai or Bangalore that means we are stealing their jobs? Isn’t the whole of IT industry stealing jobs from the west?
Some commenters to this post say Hyderabad always belonged to Telengana and Andhra people dont belong to Hyderabad. I dont think so. Telengana doesn’t own Hyderabad. It belonged to Andhra Pradesh since I was born. Telengana itself is a part of Andhra Pradesh just like Rayalaseema or Coastal Andhra Pradesh. If our neighbors Pakistanis say that Kashmir belongs to them because during the British rule if(assume) the British maps showed Kashmir in Pakistan region, now we will give it back to them? Wont you fight to death death for it just like any of us Indians? I am not trying to take a class or something here. Understand the essence.
Chidambaram says "It seems people feel that they are neglected despite speaking the same language". As far as I can see this, this can only add fuel to the fire. Of course they feel so. In spite of looking for a solution and looking into how the people in the region can be satisfied, or instructing the state government to plan development and betterment of lives, the center deliberately gives up? or may be all this is a very good plan to calm down things and may be both the regions are not aware of?
And btw, just for clarity about the other agitations – seperate Andhra, seperate Rayalaseema – these are just tactics as far as I know. I am against the separation of the state in the first place. Forget separation of the state in to 3 pieces.
======================================================
You are correct Vamshi. Unfortunately people are comparing The Great Swarghiya Potti Sreeramulu with bastard KCR. They lost faith in the public. Just to keep their existance they have started this agitation, they spent 2000 /- per person (professional agitators) who is going to make their agitations in OU. Some day really will get to know about the cruel tactics of KCR & his party who can able to content in any of elections (Assembly/GHMC).

Please go back to history and understand why potti sriramulu did fasting. he indeed wants a part in Madras city. But he really not extended his fasting because of separate telugu state. the govt declared separate telugu state on 5 day of fasting itself. he continued his fasting for part of Madras in newly formed Andhra state.
He is not a Great……… and i accept KCR is not great but i am surely believe that he is not a bastard.

I can “feel” your emotions through the write up.
I am not sure about your BJP argument, Vamsi. They are as good or as bad as any other political party. If MIM can support muslims, why should BJP not support Hindus? Thats an argument for another day, anyway.
About the Telangana issue: Why could none of these self proclaimed telangana activists not improve the state of affairs all this while? Just because a separate state is granted, what would it mean? How will things suddenly change?
About why Chandra Babu did what he did – simple. He did not expect Congress to grant a separate state. He simply poached his own eyes by betting against congress doing a silly thing.
And about Congress – the only reason the central government interfered is because we dont have a strong local leader like YSR. As long as YSR was there, no one had the guts. Now, for the central government, its that much more better for them to divide the state – they will have one more chief minister licking their ass! Dirty politics.
And Hyderabad – it should remain a free zone or a Union Territory. No way should we give up a city WE developed to another State – believe me, it hurts when I say “another state”.
All that said, I am still not certain if a separate Telangana is granted.
Lets see how this pans out.

Just to add something as a reply to the gentleman who said something about Potti Sriramulu – no person alive is big enough to talk about that great man!
Just because you need to prove a point, please dont paint our historical heroes in bad light!
(Quote)
Don’t get emotional… It will be a day dream of KCR to get seperate telangana… you can still plan for your dream home in hyderabad. So many politicians already invested their black money in hyderabad, and they have already started resignation dramas to save their properties. they won’t let seperation of telengana…
Cheer up and just watch the entire drama for couple of weeks

Hi Ram, it is not posting bad light on historical heroes, its truth.
(Quote)
Truth is a very biased word, dude. Biased towards the one who believes it.
I will never believe a Mr. Nobody and think Potti Sriramulu is not a hero. He is. He will be.
Kindly refrain from making allegations against public sentiments. I may actually think that a lot of your heroes are nonsense. But I will never put it on a public discussion forum. Please maintain political decorum. By the way, “Telangana People” is quite misleading. Please don’t use such a name. For all that you know, a lot of Telangana people might not be interested in a separate state as they are interested in two meals a day.
Good luck, my friend.
(Quote)
Just to add to what I said – May be I am wrong. May be separate Telangana is the solution. May be I am not matured enough to understand an age old socio-political problem.
My only question is – if nothing could be done till now to improve people’s life, how can it be that a separate state will solve it? If KCR can do something for the Telangana people in a separate state, why cant he do atleast half of that in a combined state? Think about it, “Telangana People”.
But my common sense says – United, we stay! Divided, we fall!

As much as I am against separation of Andhra Pradesh, the other side needs to be heard. If its a positive thing for the people living in Telangana, its bound to impact people from AP.

Vamshi u r correct, all the politicians in AP are considering only their party benefit or their personal benefits. Iam not supporting KCR, i’ll ask u only one question, have ever gone to Adilabad district, just once you try to go by bus to headquarter of Adilabad district, am sure you will change your opinion, as a telecom engineer i traveled max of all the districts in AP, i saw the economical development of all the districts, if u compare development here with other districts in Kostha or Seema, its almost nill, there is no minimum requirements, i would like to bring one more situation from my experience, my sister got 1000 rank in medicine even though she is not able to get medicine seat in a good govt college, but her friend from Andhra got 2000 rank but she got free seat in good college even the cast is same, since 50 years govt is not able to anything for Telangana which is having responsibility then how can a selfish man(KCR) can do for Telangana, i appreciate him even he is not doing anything for Telangana, atleast he is trying to get separate Telangana as a state, you have developed your community in hyderabad, you have built your home in hyderabad, you are thinking of your family and your home, then what about the people from the poor villages in Telangana, we are not asking you to leave Hyderabad, you can stay in Hyderabad, as an Indian you have all the rights to stay wherever you wish to stay in India, I sincerely request the govt even if you not able to give Telangana as a separate state atleast develop our region, kindly provide the minimum requirements for the people in Telangana. Jai Telangana…

Hi Vamsi…
That was really a nice presentation which will tell this bloody politicians alt least what to think about especially to TRS people. I do agree on your words.
We hope we will be A.P people for ever…

I do agree with you guys, KCR ( Mother Fucker) , Even he can sell his on mother for money and position. He should stop all the drama which he is playing from Hospital.
We (Peaple) never want a separate Telengana. He is using Student to fulfill his dream.

@Vamshi
Excellent but I don’t think you know anything about history and logic beyond formation of AP or Rules behind the merger of Telangana and Andhra. Telangana become backaward after it united with Andhra. There are lots of lapses in your blog due to time constraint I am not going in depth.
It seems you are more worried about property and home hyderabad rather than AP as a whole. Bro don’t worry your property value will not depreciate too much! and nobody will ask you to vacate hyd. After all, we are all indians and you have a constitutional right to live anywhere in india.
If you have time go thru below links and let me know what you think.

These politicians really wants to develop the backward areas of states.They can easly announce some special packages(with out eating the same) to develop the backward areas.
Our homeminister said,telangana region is separating due to a demand from backward people(KCR….).He has to recollect how many areas in his constitution having backward people.
All these political stunt.

Whenever the topic of Telangana is raised, many of us blindly support Andhra or Telangana based on where we come from. Not sure how many really think of why the demand for separate state has been there for such a long time. The 2 major reasons why the demand has been pending for so many years is WATER AND HYDERBAD. People around the state have earned and invested in and around Hyderabad so there is a concerns about the safety of the investment if the state is separated while both the major rivers in our state flow mostly through Telangana. Below are some facts that are few reasons for the demand.
Sentiments can be foolish but not facts.
a. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in all parts of the state which are also backward.
b. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.
c. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals in entire Telangana region.
d. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement. Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.
e. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which has not been resolved since decades.
f. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana) but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for decades.
g. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The leaders of Rayalaseem a blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.
h. 3 TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.
i. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesn’t even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.
j. Government issue G.O.’s for implicating its decisions. G.O number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.
k. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood and working as daily labour.
l. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.
m. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22 per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk ?
n. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000 crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in Rayalaseema and Andhra.
o. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and Rayalaseema.
If you look at what ur concerned about is your property, no one is asking you to sell your property and leave.
About your tax, when you have used certain facilities you have to pay the tax as well. The tax you have payed is not used in Hyderabad alone it is distributed across the nation.
Far before the British people have come to India and for thier purpose they have built many structures. But that doesn’t mean it belongs to them and they should be given back the amount spent when we asked them to leave as they were ruling our nation. On a smaller scale if you look at it, you have not developed the whole of Telangana but only the Hyderabad city because you needed few facilities for you to survive here.
So hyderabad is Telangana’s and remains for the Telangana. We are NOT asking you to leave Hyderabad, we just want its recognition in Telangana.
Most of the people think if the separate state of Telangana is given, will it be developed immediately…..The answer is No…..There is no overnight development in anywhere in the world…..One thing sure is, The separate state of Telangana would be developed at much faster rate than if it is with the United Andhra Pradesh……

There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%.
45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.
There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.

Guys, lot of emotion flowing here, and rightly so. I agree that Telangana has not developed as well as some other areas. But, please honestly tell me – is it ONLY because of being a part of Andhra Pradesh? Or is it because of corrupt politicians? And is it not the same politicians who will govern the separate state?
Note this, all you separation supportists – separating into another state will NOT solve the problem.
How many of Telangana people are staying back in Telangana and trying to develop it? How many are chasing the big bucks in IT or elsewhere? Think about it.
Separation is never a solution. India and Pakistan separated 62 years back. What did it result in? Did Pakistan prosper? Did India benefit?
Telangana is in a very very desperate position. I agree. But is there no way that all the passionate people who are commenting here do something about it? How many of you did something for your village? Don’t bluff or boast here. Just be honest with yourself.
My advise/appeal/suggestion to all you guys who are rooting for a separate state is this – try and develop your region first. You contribute to the developement of your region. And then once you have enough natural and educational resources, then go separate. May god be with you.
Coming to the matter of leaving Hyderabad – SMB!
I am an Andhraite. I lived all my life in Hyderabad. I am a HYDERABADI. I don’t want to leave MY city although I don’t have any investments here. What I invested in this city is my life – MY WHOLE LIFE….so for those of you who want Andhra people to go out of Hyderabad: forget it. This city is as much ours as yours! This city is a part of my life. So dont even try to get people like me out of here. If Hyderabad becomes a part of Telangana, then so be it. I will gladly stay in Telangana. But NO ONE HAS THE FREAKING RIGHT TO ASK ME TO VACATE MY HOME (CITY)!

Guys, I just posted an update(at the bottom of the post) after seeing your comments. Please read and post your thoughts.
(Quote)
Hi Vamshi,
It was nice reading your comments, but many points were not clear – I am sure you were not clear about them.
Like you many are just thinking about the there valuables in Hyderabad. Don’t be selfish guys. Well, coming to the points you have mentioned.
This agitation was not started one day back or a week back and especially not by one person (so called KCR). Right from 1968 the Telangana people have fought for a seperate state. The reason behind this; History speaks well.
I just want to mention one scenario. I go to one of the town in Andhra frequently. During the Journey I see dry farm lands in Telangana, while one the train enters Andhra region I see farms filled with greenary. There is no change in the climate among these two regions. But the only problem is the lack of proper Irrigation system in Telangana. Who is responsible for this? Dont you think the Andhra rulers have never bothered about it.
I don’t support any party which takes the advantage of regional sentiment among people. I am sure once the Telangana gets seperated these politicians will make much money of it. I am not worried, atleast if they spend 20% of it there can be some development. By development I mean deevlopment of rural areas.
And, don’t worry Vamshi, no one will ask settlers to go away from Telangana. KCR words was for the people who have illegally occupied the lands in Hyderabad and are making money out of it. If settlers have to be moved then I will stand first to fight against that. There are many people who came to Hyderabad for there livelyhood. They have equal right to stay in Hyderabad.
And regarding politicians, we are well aware of them, I don’t waste my time commenting about them.
We see only Hyderabad as a developed place in Telangana, whereas all other places are no where near the development. Lets hope we have a separate Telangana and build a complete developed region.
(Quote)
We are tired asking the facilities since 50 years, we dont have no more patience for begging andhra rulers, instead we need our region as a separate state, so that leaders from our region rule and fulfill our requirements. Dividing Telangana from AndhraPradesh is only solution……
(Quote)
So all the Telengana leaders in power till now were good for nothing? Whom did you guys vote? did you guys live under Andhra Kings’ rule or something? Where does Andhra Rulers come from? You didnt have leaders? In that case you wont be having even now. How can you expect development with same set of leaders ? Getting a state – meaning development will happen by itself?
(Quote)
Hi All,
I respect all of the views expressed here. There are some Questions which came to me while observing what is going on.
1) Telagana plp say there region is backward and no development is done apart from Hyderabad and even Andhara and Rayalaseem plp say the same then where is the money going is that to the pockets of politicians and business man? This is bad i think plp should fight against this and try to understand that these plp are selling lands of Hyderabad and making money. People say Hyderabad is developed… I don’t understand what’s the meaning of Development? Govt is giving free lands to MNC companies and selling the other lands in high rates where is a common person ( middle class person) who is earning 5 to 10 thousand now.
as per my knowledge there is no development in Hyderabad… we can say a place is developed when literacy rate is high. when a common person is living peacefully. When every person in Hyd has ”
ROTI, MAKAN, Kapada” I would say do hunger Strikes for real development rather than for any political interest…
I also observed in many plp … who are from Andhra Region who humiliate Telanga PLP saying These plp are not telugu plp Telugu’s are Andhra plp, they say
Telanaga PLP are Koolis, what not …. This attitude of Andhara Plp is wrong….. infact many plp in front of me they expressed all these thing
Guys now everyone is telling samayaka Andhra.. if you say that then try to respect every one and dont jsut tell show it in action then i think this problem of teleanga andhra and rayalaseema will go for ever.
Excuse me if i hurt anyone but its true…
I also believe two people who cannot understand its always good to be separate. Andhara Pradesh was once backward region but now after separating from
TN it is developed… Lest don’t believe anyone (politicians)and start developing each and every region in A.P. ITs our state, country and world… we have all rights to live anywhere in our state, country and in anywhere in this world.
BYE.

Folk’s above responses are appreciated. For the first time ever in my life I am really frustrated regarding this issues going on with separate telangana statehood in AP. We all (I mean all regions) accept the fact that it’s political drama by KCR for just his personal benefit. He wants power and the only way he can get it by this way. I can say one thing for sure. By making separate telanagana state, there won’t be any change in Poor people’s life. “Poor” People are suffering all over the AP, it’s just not telangana region only. People who are creating these non-senses for power should need to work for reservation for Telangana People in all the aspects to encourage them and give better life. This is the good hope for best in people’s life. We say Pakistan country is our enemy bcoz they are looking to occupy some part of Kashmir. Till date we are struggling for that. We all Speak Telugu as our mother tongue, traditions are same, believe in Hinduism, still we want to live separately, It’s really shame on some people asking all these “Separate, Separate”. Now I don’t know what’s the difference between Pakistan and Telangana Statehood, if partition happens at all.
Sorry if at all hurts any one, but I don’t mean that.

–> For those who don’t know me: I’m writing this as an Indian First, then a Telangana Native and then a Hyderabadi.
1.This message goes to all those Telangana agitators and supporters – NOTHING is going to change people. It is you who should change. All you will be left with is dirty politics, corruption and naxalism.
–> Yes, It is us who should change..?? Yes, we should change from accepting the domination, injustice and exploitation in order to fight against all these things.
–> When will you change from diverting water from our dams ?
–>When will you change from humiliating our culture and language?
–> When will you change from following double standards ??
– > . Do you think AP have very sacred politics? Corruption free govt? Only telangaana in india have politics, corruption and naxalism.??? Common buddy dont be so hypothetical.
NAxalism ??…….It is there not just in telangaana, but also in Jharkand, Chattisgarh, West bengal, orissa, Nepal, Assam.
–> By the way what about the caste politics of AP ?? …Every one knows that only two castes rule this AP?
Before commenting telangaana, try to identify the loopholes and manioulations of AP
2 TRS or Congress or any other party is doing what ever you think ‘they are doing for good’ is NOT for your good but for the temporary power and to make something out of your sentiment. They are going to LOOT you.
–> You are absolutely correct. I do agree with you. Telangana movement is devoid of parties too. Telangaana agiatation is in existence since 1956. It has been hijacked by Congress and TRS for their power share.
–> By the way, Why dont you talk about Jai Andhra movement of 1972 ??
–> LOOT ??. Buddy, we have been being looted by andhra leaders since 1956
– > Do you think the present AP govt is doing for our good????……. Come to telangana and visit any village. You will know the naked facts and bare truths.
–> Anyways,
We have two choices.
a. Andhra filthy politics with looting
b. Telangaana filthy politics looting
We choose Telangaana leaders becasue we cannot impact AP CM to give us water, but we can definitely demand our Telangana state CM to give us water. Got it now buddy??
3. Everyone has a regional sentiment. That doesn’t mean you should go on the roads, protest and pelt stones at whatever you can when some selfish man says we need a separate state so that he too can be in power, don’t you think of how is it going to benefit you? How is it going to be different?
–> Yes, It is going to be different. We can have access to our rivers and natural resources. We can have our share of revenue. We can have self respect and identity. We can survive and exist in a better means . We can have more accountability and justice
–> By the way, what are Andhra people students doing now on the roads?? ……social work??……Check the other side. One wrong doesn’t make another wrong a right
–> It will be diff becoz the river water tribunals, SRC recommendations, 610 GO are in our favour,
4. Unless you are planning to send out all Andhra people out of Hyderabad and occupy their homes and properties. Is that your plan?
Because I remember very well KCR saying this a few days back “Andhrawala Bhagoo, Telenganawala Jaago”. Is that what you are up to? If that’s the case, then bring it on. We are all used to fighting for everything right? Fight with other states, fight with other religions, fight with other castes, fight with everyone you can whenever you get a chance. That is how we are always in India right? Bring It On!!!
–> We are not as selfish and cunning . It is just a states reorganization, not country’s division. Anyone, irrespective of his state, can live here happily. (Many Marathis and Gujarathis have been living in Hyderabad since Nizam’s rule). You are most welcome to stay until and unless you think to rule and dominate us. Hope being a hyderabadi you know about hyderabad history at least
-> Telangaana is not just KCR, even i am not in favour of hm. He is a political tool for us the same way we are power tools for him
–> Telangaana agitation is peoples agitation since 1969(Check KCR interview in NDTV today)
5. Don’t people understand the cost of dividing a state?
No matter who(Telengana or Andhra) gets Hyderabad or even if Hyderabad is made a free zone, the cost involved in this selfish decision is going to be paid by TONS of tax payers money to build new Infrastructure or share infrastructure. If Hyderabad is going to be shared by both Andhra and Telengana, Neither would make the best out of it. Jobs wont be created by dividing the state. The existing jobs wont come to you because the company is in your region. Didn’t we learn anything looking at smaller states and free zones? Do we want more Jharkands and Chhattisgarhs? I am sure the division is going to benefit KCR and Naxals. Telengana is going to be a safe heaven for naxals. Mark my words!
–> If so, why did you divide Andhra from Chennai state in 1953 ??????????
–> There are many other states in india other than Jharkands and Chhattisgarhs. I hope you know it.
Why dont you take punjab, haryana, Himachal as examples???
–> Jobs are not the only and major concern sir.
Why dont you talk a single word about the injustice of river water sharing?? . I will provide you all the statistics too
Why dont you talk about the cultural humiliation ?
6. If Hyderabad is not my state capital or if its not in my state, why would I want to be living here? Why would I want to pay my taxes here? Why would I want to part of the City’s development. Why would I be helping any business here? Why would I want to be a part of the city in the first place.
–> You are correct. I do agree with you. In india anyone can live anywhere. No one forces you to live in one place. You have that freedom to leave hyd and stop paying taxes. Neither we are forcing you to go away nor requesting you to stay here. We want to give respect to your choice of stay. It is the constitutional arrangement that matters than the emotional perspectives.
7. My mind is confused just like all my brothers and you cousins in different regions in the state. Someone who doesn’t know the meaning of “Divided We Fall” is trying to wake up that regional feeling and make the most out of it.
–>Then , why you had started JAi Andhra movement in 1972 ?
–> I wish you could have talked about the millions of migrations of your cousins of telangaana from your home called AP to other states. You have 3 crops sir. we have 3 migrations?. Is it fair to divert your cousins 1 crop water for your 3 crops???
Mere statements doesnt fill the empty stomachs
###. Why the heck seperate telengana?
–> To survive and exist in the world of Injustice and Telangaana .
–> Telangaana is to stop Andhra leaders from looting us and allowing the Telangaana leaders to loot us. I mean it. But we will have lefitmacy to obligate the so called telangaana filthy politicians to demand for our rights in our telangaana state than in AP

@Dinesh, kvs, Tagore:
Your discussions make sense. But partition is not the solution. Because, tomorrow, you will still complain that rest of Telangana is not prospering as much as Hyd and few other areas. So lets divide more.
Numbers don’t always convey the reality.
>>45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.<>The separate state of Telangana would be developed at much faster rate than if it is with the United Andhra Pradesh…… <<
It could, but there is no guarantee. People are still at the mercy of the politicians. Guess what… a seperate Hyderabad union territory will do even better. Telangana & rest of Andhra can be left alone to survive by themselves, what say?

It counters your own point. Going by this, revenue generating cities/regions should get bulk of the funding and poor agricultural regions should be left alone.
Hyderabad and the rivers belong to Andhra as much as they are in Telangana. So how can one claim them and form a separate state.
(Quote)
Hi..
I couldnt post my comments on ur blog..
any error ?
(Quote)
I agree with Dinesh
“Whenever the topic of Telangana is raised, many of us blindly support Andhra or Telangana based on where we come from. Not sure how many really think of why the demand for separate state has been there for such a long time. The 2 major reasons why the demand has been pending for so many years is WATER AND HYDERBAD. People around the state have earned and invested in and around Hyderabad so there is a concerns about the safety of the investment if the state is separated while both the major rivers in our state flow mostly through Telangana. Below are some facts that are few reasons for the demand.
Sentiments can be foolish but not facts.
a. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in all parts of the state which are also backward.
b. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.
c. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals in entire Telangana region.
d. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement. Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.
e. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which has not been resolved since decades.
f. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana) but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for decades.
g. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The leaders of Rayalaseem a blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.
h. 3 TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.
i. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesn’t even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.
j. Government issue G.O.’s for implicating its decisions. G.O number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.
k. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood and working as daily labour.
l. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.
m. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22 per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk ?
n. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000 crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in Rayalaseema and Andhra.
o. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and Rayalaseema.
If you look at what ur concerned about is your property, no one is asking you to sell your property and leave.
About your tax, when you have used certain facilities you have to pay the tax as well. The tax you have payed is not used in Hyderabad alone it is distributed across the nation.
Far before the British people have come to India and for thier purpose they have built many structures. But that doesn’t mean it belongs to them and they should be given back the amount spent when we asked them to leave as they were ruling our nation. On a smaller scale if you look at it, you have not developed the whole of Telangana but only the Hyderabad city because you needed few facilities for you to survive here.
So hyderabad is Telangana’s and remains for the Telangana. We are NOT asking you to leave Hyderabad, we just want its recognition in Telangana.
Most of the people think if the separate state of Telangana is given, will it be developed immediately…..The answer is No…..There is no overnight development in anywhere in the world…..One thing sure is, The separate state of Telangana would be developed at much faster rate than if it is with the United Andhra Pradesh…… “

Let’s not dwell about past, Past mistakes cannot be rectified ; they are now part of History. Let’s assume that Telangana becomes a separate state, I wonder whether situation improves. I do n’t think so, politicians will milk money, unemployment and backwardness will remain the same. KCR & co will enjoy the power but no one can guarantee development, centre will send crores for the new state while they are not utilized or swallowed by corrupt officials and all political establishments.
Comparisons cannot be drawn between Amarajeevi Potti Sreeramulu and KCR, while the former did not have any vested interest in the case of latter we can NEVER say; you can see the track record for KCR yourself.
I am sure there will not be any change in lives of people, only a new state with same old corrupt system and the ordeal goes on…
Students, intellectuals, any balanced individual must think what elected representatives from Telangana(MPs & MLAs) have done so far all these years, why the region remained backward, what is the root cause, on whom should we show our anguish for our backwardness. It is collective failure, failure of “us”, we cannot blame anyone for having repeatedly elected people who did not do anything for us.
Incase a new separate state is reality; I do not see things different, I am not optimistic.
As per constitution the umbrella framework on which our present day polity works, every region must be given due and equal importance without discretion, why did they fail?
Instead of “sentiment” as popularly voiced by our politicians, we must be “sensible”. New state or same state, we need development growth and empowerment need to progress and set a good foundation for future generation.
If we still want to look at the history Telangana and why it remains backward,it was never under british rule, under Nizam rule where its culture diluted, oppressed brutally by Nizam.
While the rest of the Telugu speaking people under British had access to modern education their brothers & sisters did not have any. Sadly things have not changed in post independence era where our own elected people failed. I have listened to tales of how Nizam rulers used to ride on horse backs and reach market area and with their legs pointed at the article they want and the poor peasant had to bring it to him. Telugu women were raped by erratic soldiers of Nizam whenever they suspected any unrest brewing. History is testimony to many such tragic events that unfolded as Hyderbad ruler was overthrown by the Indian Army. Unbearable miseries and uncounted such tales can be heard from older generation of this region.The only people who helped them during this time were fellow brothers and sisters who expressed solidarity and secretly smuggled in books of our culture,weapons during the struggle. You can see such references in the book “Insider” authored by our late PM P.V.Narasimha Rao.The post independent state leadership and their successors till now are of culpable of criminal neglect of the region as their predecessors the Nizam and the British who (indirectly) turned a blind eye to the plight of common people. Atleast now instead of fishing in troubled waters, the present day representatives should focus on uniform development across the state and undo the damage. We are one nation and we speak the same language in a linguistic state,we are one. National unity is paramount.

Hi I am from Nalgonda, born and raised in Hyderabad.
I dont think Andhrans (YSR, Babu, whatever, etc are great) nor KCR… all are greedy politicians….
All those who are protesting or favouring the bifurication are just doing for their own business needs. Unfortunately they are using innocent peoples emotions.
Evacuvating settlers or restricting their work rights will not work.
I dont care about AP,Andhra, Telanagana…I dont give a shit.
I love Hyd bcoz I was born and raised …..I want it a separate country. Where all citizens are treated equally, can practice any religion. Hate crimes are capital punishable. Citizens of India can enter and work in Hyd but restrictions apply..need to apply for temporary work permit.
Lets make Hyderabad… “The Hope country”
All citizens are treated equally.
Lets make Hyd……. The most livable country on earth
Lets Make Hyd ……. selfsufficient country
Lets Make Hyd….better than any other country in the world
Lets Make Hyd…The dream country of others.
Lets Make Hyd…..The sweetest countyr on earth
God bless Hyd the New emerging country..
Hyderabad is not part of Telangana or Andhra… It needs to be declared as a Separate country
Hyderabad—— “The Hope country”..!!!!!!

Naresh/ Dinesh,
You made excellent points but not good enough to discrminate people.
Settlers will slowly be discriminated in Hyderabad and hate crimes will continue to grow. They will be treated as Jews(becoz of the wealth) and Telaganas start acting like nazis resulting in modern Hallocast.
I dont believe Telangana leaders will allocate sufficent budget(truth to be told we dont have enough money to enforce the law) to stop hate crimes (I know how the justice system works in India) nor have intensions to stop them….
No matter how many reasons you list..
Settlers life cannot be risked by letting Hyd as capital of Telangana.
Answers to some of your points
1) DO you know that poorest district is in Andhra?(Srikakulam)
2)FYI JNTU one of the Biggest Universities in India happens to be in Ranga Reddy.
3)PV Narshima Rao(the only Prime Minister from AP) was from Telangana what did you guys do at that time for development….?
All telangana politicians were busy with scandals(it doesnot make Andhra politicians great..they are equally corrupt, possibly more). Even the call for United Andhra is for pure business reasons..no one is truly commited for welfare of people. But Hyderabadies(not just settlers, i have tons of telangana friends who are worried about their safety and property…..yes, settlers are worried more) are at great distress.
4)What did Nalgonda politicians do all these years to treat Florine water(plz dont tell me this was not solved bcoz Telangana state was not formed, there were so many prominent telangana leaders holding key portfolios in center as well). Why didn’t they go for hunger strike….that would have been very noble cause….I am sure every one would have supported it……
5)Most of the budget was invested only in Hyd, I have travelled extensively, I only notice significant improvements in Hyd no other cities)
6)Andhra lands were fertile in nature they tend to be more productive than others… the water supply was only bcoz of productivity….pure business reason.
7) You said 33% of ppl left district in Telangana, I have seen thousands if not millions ppl in Andhra left …not for Honeymoon trip ..Bcoz they could not eat even for one day.
8)Only rich ppl are getting richer….The fight is always between poor Vs Rich
not Telangana Vs Andhra…. Splitting the state will result in dictators such as KCR…(criminal, who himself made hate speeches…)
9) I dont see how the separate Telangana will benefit the poor people…. but I can guranty rich ppl get lot richer by oppressing the poor. They will exploit more…. Its simple economics.
10)For your justification part…Britishers shot Indians. So do you think it will be fair to shoot some Britishers now?
11)Employement is Bogus….99% of the jobs are in Private sector now…
The biggest Gov employeers 1) APSEB, APSRTC are already undergoing privatisation.
12)KCR, Laden, Bush, Raj Thackery are all extreamists…they will be very unpopular in future(Bush, Laden are already very unpopular).
13)Agreed Telangana has tons of problems to solve so do other regions….
Pls stop blaming innocent ppl who are just like you, for their politicans actions. Bush was elected twice…so is it fair to say every American is like Bush? Pls dont judge common ppl for selfish politicians actions.
But splitting the state(possibly dividing India into 1000 states, if not countries) and risking lifes of majority of Hyderabadies(60% of the settlers, not just from Andhra) does not seem to be a solution…atleast not a fair humanly solution.
(Quote)
Dude its not about tax or property devaluation…
1)All the life most ppl dreamed nothing but of Hyderabad.
we cannot let dreams shatter.
2)Its more about belief in Justice….in the present era.
we believed a civilized city would never be prone to such henious acts.
3)Last but not the least threat and risk to life and property of fellow citizen(non telanganans).

True. Hyderabad has always been OUR city – OUR meaning it belong to both Telengana and the rest of the state too. We never saw it as a part of a separate state.
That is what people supporting United Andhra are trying to convey. This is not just from coastal region by the way.
sounds inspirational – I will replace the word Hyd with India. The whole country should be like that.
Educated supporters of separate Telengana would say we are not against anyone settled in Hyderabad – But the reality is different – the supporters on the street or people inspired by the regional sentiment don’t think that way.
Krishna Prasad, all of your points are very informative. Thanks for taking time.
Ok, injustice in river sharing – Lets assume separate Telengana is formed. – Then what? stop and divert waters? That will only result in more problems – fights over waters are always bloody. Why don’t none of our leaders talk about sharing resources rather than grabbing resources?
They only seem to add more fuel to the fire.
I am not sure if there are sick minds like that in our state, either it be Telengana or non-Telengana regions.

Hello Friends,
I read the article and also many of the comments. First, I am neither a supporter nor a protester of Jai Telangana or Jai Andhra. I am following this thread just to understand the issue because I don’t have enough knowledge on history or the socio-political issues. I am following many debate pograms, TV shows, news channels to get the proper context around this issue and I chose this thread as one of the sources.
However, until date I din’t get proper definition of this problem and still left with zillions of questions unanswered. Who is fighting for what, and who is interested in who, pros and cons of separation or being united, impact on the economic growth as a state or to the country. I haven’t heard any leader speaking about the vision of the state if it is separated or if it is united-even in yesterday’s Barkha Dutt’s show where there were all leaders present.
But what I know for sure is the real people or the common man’s problems will remain the same, (whether the common man belongs to Andhra or Telangana) whether the state is separated or remains united. Because, the cause for all the problems of a common man in our country is the extreme imbalance in wealth power. This is caused due to corruption and the loopholes in law in the country. As long as we have these problems in place, no solution works. Our politicians will still gain our votes, continue their exploitation, the wealth barriers increase, rich become richer, poor become poorer, media will become the best sector for investments, common man remains as a spectator and the sufferer.
I will try pursuing this with more sources of info. Will wait and watch the show. Anyways, I am confident that our so-called competitive political leaders and media are capable enough of getting their mileage. Also they are capable enough of suppressing the country’s growth at least by 100 folds by impacting our youngsters’ thought process. We are very emotional in solving problems than being intellectual. Great job so far! Keep it up!!
All the best for Jai Andhra-Jai Telangana: the Andh-Gana (slogans without vision)!!

Guys,
Just read this article on GreatAndhra.com
(btw, I’m thinking GreatAndhra.com meaning Andhra Pradesh and not just a part of Andhra Pradesh, no offense to the website or any community though)
ok, coming to the point:
Read this letter from the NRI community.
http://www.greatandhra.com/ganews/viewnews.php?id=17956&cat=10&scat=25
I think it is well written with proper facts. Go check it out, come back and post your comments.
I want to know what Separate Telengana supporters and United Andhra Pradesh supporters
think about all this after reading it.
(Quote)
To all the gentlemen, who posted some great statistics regarding the under developed status of Telengana..
Seperation is not a solution.. Just another politician is going to make more money..
If a school has 3 sections and 1 of the section class is not performing well – who is to be held responsible. Its the teacher of the class who is supposed to be held responsible. Similarly a region in Andhra Pradesh is under-developed means, the leaders of that region should be held responsible and corrective action should be taken.
If a new school is started with the same set of teacher for the section which was not performing, is’nt going to solve the situation at all. Everything is going to remain the same.
We are the children of A.P. Seperation of A.P. hurts the same way if our parents take a divorce and seperate. Lets remain brothers forever united, without falling trap for all the false hopes some political leaders are showing us. – Jai Hind…Jai AP.
(Quote)
Moreover looks like a “T-state” is a seed for loads of problems for tomorrow. Already Telengana leaders are talking about the rivers flowing through Telengana are used for Andhra. If a seperation happens, I am sure in the next few years we would see people fighting for water, just like the fight of River Cauvery between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. So, division of state is only going to give a huge number of issues which all politicians will use it for their Political mileage for the next 100 years.
So say na na..say na na na…to seperation..
(Quote)
NRIs, living abroad has no rights to say the word “Seperate”. But every one has right to say “Unite”. Poor people are all over AP and has problems, just not only in Telangana region. If you think your people are suffering from problems, go and help them with your money as a social responsible person. Simply don’t give shit ideas and don’t behave like Pakistam people. Everyone developed Hyd and now its for Telangana Peole. Its Insane.

vamshi superb article…In my opinion it will be even worse in dividing telangana.unless we have a good leader there is no difference in separating state.I strongly believe that telangana people suffer a lot when compared to other region,but on dividing it will become even worse as after separating TRS will rule the state with that dirty KCR as CM.

Bay Area NRIs for Samaikya Andhra Pradesh
http://www.greatandhra.com/ganews/viewnews.php?id=17973&cat=10&scat=25
San Francisco, CA: About 500 Telugu NRIs have met today in San Francisco bay area,California and adopted anonymous resolution in favor of Samaikya Andhra Pradesh. The participants hail from all regions of Andhra Pradesh – Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema. Speaker after speaker strongly condemned the nefarious acts of opportunistic politicians to divide the progressing state in the name of backwardness of the region. They felt that the past experiences have indicated smaller states are not solution to address the issue of backwardness. For instance Chattisgarh, Jharkhand ,Uttaranchal states were formed in November 2000 and those states still remain backward. The issue of backwardness in several parts of Andhra Pradesh including Telengana region should be addressed by setting up autonomous councils and devolution of powers to lowest levels, rather than breaking up the state. Every speaker stressed the need for Samaikyandhra Pradesh and the development of the state as a whole which inturn helps improve the life of a common man.
Hyderabad has achieved significant progress in IT and other industries in the past 10 years. Hyderabad does belong to all regions of Andhra ,Telangana and Rayalaseema.
All prominent education institutions and universities such as the upcoming IIT, NIT, BITS, ISB, IIIT, Central University and several Central Govt. research organizations have been setup in and around Hyderabad. The Cultural, Social and Economic dynamics of Hyderabad reflect the sentiments and aspirations of the people from all regions of the state and every person from the state feels that he/she is Hyderabadi.
The linguistic states formation is the result of sacrifices made by selfless leaders like Late Sri Potti Sriramulu. Speakers reminded that we should not forget those sacrifices and allow the opportunistic politicians to drive wedge among telugus to further their own agendas. Speakers also condemned these opportunists in making use of student community for their selfish cause.
The announcement made by Home minister Chidambaram in hastiness at midnight without taking consideration of people’s mandate including the state chief minister was condemned by the gathering. Speakers have expressed concern that the division of the state would weaken the leverage of the Andhra Pradesh at the federal level, which directly impacts the development.
This event is organized by Bhakta Balla, Chaitanya Reddy,Venkat Maddipati, Srinivas Vemula, Satish Ambati, Tulasi Tummala and Srikanth Koneru.

That will only result in more problems – fights over waters are always bloody. Why don’t none of our leaders talk about sharing resources rather than grabbing resources? They only seem to add more fuel to the fire. “”"”….
……………………………….
–> No…. it is not that extreme to stop water or divert water. I dont know why do you think so. On what basis do you say this? Prejudice?
See, inka state separation avvaneledu appude you are worrying about water. Mari 50 years ninchi maa neellu maaku lekunda valasalu vellina maa paristhithi alochinchu okkasari.
–> With Inter – State River Water Disputes Act 1956 and The Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT) , it is not at all possible to stop water completely for any state. We will have also a commission to decide the sharing of all resources. Why these fuss with just your assumptions and imaginations?. Let us discuss this issue on some rational basis than personal assumptions.
–> If Telangaana forms, Telangaana ki raavalasina vaata vachestai anthe…… Godavari and Krishna will be flowing through 4 states and the waters will be divided among these 4 states as per the tribunal guidelines. So telangana formation will not stop water for andhra, rather it gives the natural share of Telangana. Thats it and separate state gives us that opportunity which has been denied to us since 50 years. So maa share of water adaagadam kooda thappa(even of after bearing for 50 years)
–> Grabbibng resources? telangaana? …… 50 years ninchi evaru evari resources grab chestunnaro andariki telusu? Just show me one evidence of grabbing of resources by Telangaana region since 1956.
–> # Godavari
flows 79% in Telangana and 21% in Andhra
70% cultivable land of Godavari water is in Telangaana
We hardly get 20% of water out of 1480 TMCs
What about the remaining 50 % of our share??
# Krishna
–> flows 68.5% in Telangana
18.39% in rayalaseema
13.11% in andhra
–> 65% cultivable land is in Telangaana under Krishna waters
–> Telangana gets only 65 TMCs out of 595 TMCs out of Krishna based projects
which is just 10%,
Rayalaseems gets 14.6 %
Ramaining 75 % goes to Andhra
Is it fair? isnt it injustice?
What about the remaining water since decades??
–> Mahabubnagar gets 25% flow of Krishna water, but why did it still remains most backward district with regular drought and famines?
–> By the way, what do you say about the injustice in river waters since 50 years. Did it happen because the issue has not become bloody? or Just because we are letting it happen hoping that in united AP we will get justice. Please speak out your opinion about the injustice since 50 years. Please substantiate your opinion with some facts or statistiscs so that we can have a criteria andbasis.
–> Nagarjuna Sagar meant to benefit Andhra and Telangana regions equally is modified
in such a way that 75% of the benefit is accruing to Coastal Andhra reducing the
share of Telangana region to just 25%. Consequently, an area of more than 15 lakh
acres is getting irrigation facilities for the first crop and more than half of it for the
second crop in the coastal districts – again all water-intensive wet crops. But the
Telangana area gets this facility hardly for 5 lakh acres. Further, settlers migrating
from the Andhra area own nearly half of these lands.
–>Srisailam Project which was originally a power project is now converted into a multi-purpose project. Yet the Telangana region does not get even a single drop of water from it. It has only a right bank canal to facilitate irrigation in the Rayalaseema region. Further, its capacity has been increased by 3 times when compared to what was originally contemplated. It has now three sluices – one for the Srisailam Right Branch Canal, one for the Telugu Ganga Project and the other styled as Escape Channel. Except for the Srisailam Right Bank Canal there is no clearance for the other two from the government of India. This project has the potential to irrigate 6 to 7 lakh acres of land in the Rayalaseema region and Nellore district besides providing drinking water to Chennai city. But the left bank canal meant for the benefit of Telangana region has been abandoned.
–> If AP can promise us our share and access resources i will be the first person to shout and say “Samaikyandhra”. But how can we trust a state by which we have been denied our share of access to the constitutional provisions since 1956 though there are many agreements/formulae/programmes/recommendations that say that telangana should get the special treatment because of the historical,cultural, geographical aspects . Ho many buddy? How many more promises?
(Quote)
Your right Mahesh,
I want add some more…..
When the time of Sriramsagar project constriction we scarify thousand ecars of land but now we are not getting a single drop of water from that project…Do you know this?? Even we don’t have any land to cultivate and we don’t have any food but you’re discoursing about investment and settle down….is it fair??
One more thing.. In Hyderabad all Chandana Brothers, R S Brother and etc… All shops ware from Andhra people and you will not find any single employee from Telangana dist. Why?? Did you ever think ??
Do you know how many Telengana employees are working in secretariat, High Court and etc..?
Do you know how many dist. are backward dist. in Telangana and how many dist. has no warter to drink?
Just I am requesting you, before say anything find out why Telengana people want separate…I know KCR is not a good leader and TRS is not a good party.. but we need some or some to start..
(Quote)
a. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in all parts of the state which are also backward.
b. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.
c. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals in entire Telangana region.
d. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement. Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.
e. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which has not been resolved since decades.
f. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana) but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for decades.
g. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The leaders of Rayalaseems blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.
h. 3 TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.
i. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesn’t even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.
j. Government issue G.O.’s for implicating its decisions. G.O number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.
k. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood and working as daily labour.
l. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.
m. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22 per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk J
n. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000 crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in Rayalaseema and Andhra.
o. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and Rayalaseema.

Agreed!
Try to answer the following questionnaire.
1. Can anyone guarantee that after getting a separate state these problems will be resolved?
2. Did anyone vote for the leaders, who are asking for Talangana now?
3. WTF the Telangana leaders are doing till now?
4. Does the leaders, whoever are supporting Telangana state will stand on their words, after getting a separate state?
5. You can say, we can choose new leaders. If so, why can’t the new leaders be in Andhra Pradesh and improve Telangana districts?
6. No voter from Telangana, Seema or Kostha is a culprit for this. The leaders are. Do you agree?
If anyone wants to change it, then vote for new leaders of the Talangana districts, who can improve their districts.
There is no use/need of separate Telangana.
It is just a political game to get some more money to EAT.
This is my opinion.

I been reading this blog and ya also watching stunts from both telangana and samaikhya andhra supporters,as major people are asking even i wanna know ,why didn’t telangana leaders do these protests to demand jobs OR for developing backward areas OR for projects ? i agree telangana is counted as backward areas so is many areas from Andhra and rayalseema,i stay in Vijayawada and there is no much development here as in Hyderabad,but from many many years students from krishna district were the one who were toppers in almost all board exams ,why telangana students were lacking in education? when they are lacking in eductaion how can they get jobs? i think jobs are given on pure knowledge and talent not on regional division.whatever wrong happening with telangana is due to lack of proper leadership not coz of being with AP state,now with the situation going on i think enuf of all these ,go ahead guys go get seperated but still there wont be any big difference coz there is no proper leader or a right person to develop you all ,ooh ya may be KCR can do anything ? ya sure he will drink merrily with his dream getting fulfilled to become a CM ,and moreoevr why blame a leader even as individuals is there any start of developing yourselves?why blaming people from andhra or rayalseema for coming and earning in Hyderabad? whoever is earning in Hyderabad is coz they are worth of each penny they are earning ,coz they have that knowledge and talent to develop THEMSELVES.if Vijayawada was developed enough as Hyderabad probably many wouldn’t have gone to other places ,we got stuff and had confidence that we can go anywhere and earn rather than sitting in Vijayawada and cribbing that its not developed .
I just have to say yes Telangana is in need , not of separate state but for correct leader .so guys fight and protest for right person to lead you not for someone who is using you to be a leader !!

====================================
‘Go to Andhra for Sankranti and return happily’
The Telangana leaders, who earlier threatened that the people of Andhra who go to their native places for Sankranti festival would not be allowed to come back, have now softened their stand.
“Things are moving in a right direction for Telangana. Even the people of Andhra and Rayalaseema are understanding the sentiments of Telangana people. So, there is nothing to worry. The people of Andhra can go to their native places happily for Sankranti and come back with happy memories,” Congress MLA from Telangana R Damodar Reddy said,

u can take ur telangana…but for godsake dun compare potti sreeramulu to kcr …do u kno the history..thiss from wikipedia-
In an effort to protect the interests of the Telugu people in Madras Presidency, and to preserve the unique culture of Telugu people, he attempted to force the government to listen to public demands for the separation of Andhra region from Madras Presidency based on linguistic lines. He went on a lengthy fast, and only stopped when Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru promised to support creation of Andhra State. However, there was no movement on the issue for a long time. He started fasting again for attaining statehood for Andhra in Maharshi Bulusu Sambamurthy’s house in Madras on 19 October 1952. It started off without fanfare but steadily caught people’s imagination despite the disavowal of the fast by the Andhra Congress committee.
The government of the day however did not make a clear statement about the formation of a new state despite several strikes and demonstrations by Telugu people. On the midnight of 15 December (i.e. early 16 December 1952), Potti Sreeramulu died and laid down his life trying to achieve his objective.
In his death procession, people shouted slogans praising his sacrifice. When the procession reached Mount Road, thousands of people joined and raised slogans hailing Sriramulu. Later, they went into a frenzy and resorted to destruction of public property. The news spread like wildfire and created an uproar among the people in far off places like Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Rajahmundry, Eluru, Guntur, Tenali, Ongole and Nellore. Seven people were killed in police firing in Anakapalle and Vijayawada. The popular agitation continued for three to four days disrupting normal life in Madras and Andhra regions. On 19 December, the Prime minister of the country Jawaharlal Nehru made an announcement about formation of a separate Andhra state.

Guyz , let the state get divided so that atleast our land prices in andhra will increase .. ( if some one says dont divide , its purely bcoz of their investments here )..same is the case with us , even we who dont belong to hyd also want to see development in our areas .. we want jobs in our places not in hyd .. so let it get divided , but on fair basis .. there must be some rules before division .. otherwise andhra people will became beggers , since our govt doesnt have any money ..

Hi,
Thank you brothers, thanks for our co operation. Telangana is not a kcr’s private property. Its our property. First of all, we need to give some counseling to telangana students. because this telangana ploiticians are changed their minds like a robot. These days harish rao acted too much. Please give support for samaikyandhra. Our andhra is out telugu thalli. don’t cut our mother. I have lot of friends in telangana. they are not asking telangana. But these lazy fellows only asking this telangana. Dont think in a money way, Now some persons are happy, after deviding only they knows, what they loss. That politicians are waste fellows. they are having crores of rupees. They are not ready to walk on the road with out car and bike. they are having lot of opportunities like party funds from abroad, corruptions with other business persons, and they had lot business also. we are not having those, at least one also. So think about this once. Because we are not thinking about ours. we can think about our children’s and second and third generations. Our andhra is very big state, but karnataka behaving against to andhra pradesh. they are already finished that almatti dam also. Now also they are ready to start another project. If we can divide , they are not considered about us. we can’t get a single drop of water also. andhra + telangana = Andhrapradesh (Very Strong).
