Telangana State News
The central government late Wednesday said a resolution in the Andhra Pradesh assembly will be moved for the formation of a separate Telangana State. “The process of forming the State of Telangana will be initiated. An appropriate resolution will be moved in the state assembly,” Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in a statement in the national capital.
The Telangana Region has been on the boil after Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao’s fast unto death, demanding a separate state entered the 11th day Wednesday. “We have asked the chief minister (K. Rosaiah) to withdraw the cases booked against leaders, students and others associated with the agitation. The chief minister said he will take necessary action,” Chidambaram said.
“We are concerned about Chandrasekhara Rao’s health and we request him to withdraw the fast. We also request all others, especially students to withdraw the agitation,” he added.
Telangana Wiki
Telangana or Telingana is a region in the Indian State of Andhra Pradesh. The name means "land of Telugus". It corresponds to the Telugu speaking part of the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad. The region lies on the Deccan plateau to the west of the Eastern Ghats range, and includes the northwestern interior districts of Warangal, Adilabad, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Rangareddy, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Medak, and the state capital, Hyderabad. The Krishna and Godavari rivers flow through the region from west to east.The Actual Facts
One thing is clear that Telengana could never really merge with greater Andhra. The government should realize it and act on it. Secondly, the local people will always resent, if the powerful castes and communities from other regions use it their colony. We have seen it in Uttarakhand and others also saw it. It is always better to part ways peacefully and then become friends on equality.The possessiveness of Andhra’s powerful communities over Telengana is uncalled for and similar to what the powerful Sikhs from Punjab had over division of district of Shaheed Udham Singh Nagar in Uttarakhand.
Actually, powerful lobbies, political interests all merge together to foil the dreams. Political class is out to create these differences with people so that they can reap rich harvest on hatred. At the end of the day, you have to work together. We all remain interdependent on each other and hatred, jingoism and ultra nationalism leaves us nowhere. It is time that Congress party at the center think of creating a separate Telangana state so that this hysteria is curtailed and people are back to work and innocent lives are not lost in the politics of rhetoric making political space for redundant political leaders and aspiring power brokers.
