The Questions regarding Hyderabad:



“Hyderabad is developed by us (Andhra people)”-
I feel puzzled when I hear this sentence from few (under educated) youth , once again into the history when the great floods of 1900’s ravaged away the Hyderabad, Nizam ordered engineers to design the city in a proper way the result was moksha gundam vishveshwarayya the legendary civil engineer designed the city with good sanitary system with well lined drainages canals to discharge the downpour etc., the city was constructed for growing population on calculated basis (ask a civil engineer you will know how this can be done ).
Now the only aberration here is the addition of 13 more districts to Telangana districts and Hyderabad was named as the capital. What kind of justice is this? Taxes of Telangana people were used to build the capital and who are enjoying it?

“We (people of Andhra) brought infrastructure to Hyderabad”-
Its the worlds most pathetic joke I ever heard. What was the capital of Andhra Rastra? KURNOOL, fine where was its secretariat? Guess where? It was in tents.

Now Hyderabad was a place with an Airport, Railway lines to connect it to main land(built by nizam) , and of all the greatest technical advantage is the one who knows to use it is now in Turkey and the one who should actually use them are struggling to survive and secure their rights.
Now all those offices and buildings were used by the new govt of Andhra Pradesh.

Yes things were also built here even after unification of state but to my doubt were all those things were of no use to settlers? Did they build them just for philanthropic purpose? And if the people of coastal Andhra were that great in their Entrepreneurship skills they could have invested it right there where they were and developed it. This clearly indicates that they had some easy benefits which brought them here.

“Telangana is backward”:
1. Few intellectuals (please read it rather as fools) argue that Telangana is rather backward, after reading the data that I gave it will be easy for you to understand how good was its GDP when it was it with nizam, though despotic Nizam rulers built industries, how many big industries did Telangana get after 1956 and how many did Andhra region get. And now nizam sugars which gave a huge sum of Rs 6 lakhs as a relief fund during 1962 Indo-china war is no more a public sector (owned by people’s govt) company it is in the hands of private management.

2. Read about the glory in Mahboobnagar and Karimnagar from any sources, you understand the pathetic condition of them after the unification.

3. If some would argue that we had problem of radical movement, then the state and such people should be ashamed of blaming them. Radicals are different from dacoits and thugs they are born out of system which is incompetent to solve their problem. Here people prefer not to live in darkness and accept the terms imposed on them. 

4. Many people accuse people of Telangana as people who lack interest in development here is a straight question for those people what is development? First you define it and go ahead with the discussion; development varies from region to region. We need peace and security to develope , which Telangana lacked almost till 1990’s and who is to be blamed for it ? Obviously Both the centre and state governments  
now if some one say that state was busy dealing with such matters then let them advice what else could  people do if they were being persecuted by the very forces of state?

5. And can you please find a person in this world who does not want good health facilities? Good education? Security? And a respectful and peaceful life? Some one claim that they bring investment which we lack, then let them take it back, no one would have stopped the British if they took away the parliament building , Raisina palace(raj bhavanpresidential palace of India), prakasham barrage which they built during their rule. Did they built these all just for us to look and feel the beauty? No they had some use out of it and so are the investments of the settlers.

Now after decades long fight against landlords’ things turned to normalcy in rural Telangana, but we lost more that 4 decades in that now you suddenly announce the liberalization in 1990’s and ask business men of Telangana to compete with Andhra business men? Is the race between two equals or between unequal’s? Now to fill the gap business men from North India also came with their huge investments to AP to establish their companies. Even if a Business men from Telangana wants to invest by borrowing a loan from a bank whom will the bank issue a loan? To a company which has huge amount of security and history or to a person who came from no where? The answer is known. People of Telangana are not against the people who are poor, poor people will migrate only when there is no other choice left for them , we are against the
greedy land grabbers and industrialists. Now the state (India) says if separate state is created it will be hub of Maoists and they point their fingers at Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh! It is senseless to say so giving a separate state does not mean it is the end the centre has to take some additional care, human being with this long history of evolution will always take care of a pregnant women and mother with an infant, we won’t leave them expecting them to learn from the history. If a state with such a great mechanism can’t utilize its resources to take care of its people then what use of that state will be? Don’t you know what happened to Mughal empire and Roman empire?
