FACTS ON TELANGANA

1. BY 1953 ANDHRA STATE WAS WITH TAMIL NADU AS MADRAS STATE, MADRAS STATE WAS IN BRITISH INDIA AS PROVINCE WITH PRESENT TAMIL NADU, RAYALASEEMA( 4 DISTRICTS, WHICH WERE PART OF DECCAN STATE OF HYDERABAD, NIZAM GAVE THEM TO BRITISH INDIA AS PART OF AGREEMENT), AND COASTAL DISTRICTS OF AP, WHICH WERE CALLED SARKAR - EXCLUDING PRAKASAM,NELLORE- AND WERE GIVEN TO BRITISH BY NIZAM.

HYDERABAD STATE WAS WITH PRESENT TELANGANA DISTRICTS, NORTH KARNATAKA DISTRICTS, MARATHI SPEAKING DISTRICTS IN MH ADJOINING AP IN NORTH.

2. DEVELOPMENT IN SEEMANDHRA WAS WITH BRITISH INDIA TILL 1947, DEVELOPMENT IN HYDERABAD STATE WAS WITH NIZAM TILL ITS ABSORPTION IN TO INDIA. PROJECTS WAS BUILT ACROSS GODAVARI, KRISHNA BY BRITISHERS TO PROVIDE IRRIGATION WATER TO COASTAL DISTRICTS TO ERADICATE FAMINE, CONTROL FLOODS- DHAVALESWARAM ETC..., PLAIN AREAS NEED SMALL INVESTMENTS TO DEVELOP. NIZAM PAID TAX TO THE BRITISH GOVT BUT DID NOT TOOK ANY DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY IN HIS STATE EXCEPT FOR MEETING HIS NEEDS.

BY INDEPENDENCE PEOPLE IN HYDERABAD STATE WERE POOREST OF POOR IN INDIA AN RELATIVELY MORE POOR THAN SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE WHILE SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE ITSELF POOR.

3. EDUCATION WAS LOWEST IN SEEMANDHRA, BUT IN HYDERABAD STATE IT WAS NIL IN REALITY.

4. ZAMINDARI SYSTEM/LAND LORD SYSTEM WAS ABOLISHED AFTER INDEPENDENCE IN INDIA. BUT IT WAS SO STRONG IN TELANGANA DISTRICTS THAT EVEN TODAY IT IS VISIBLE. THE NUMBER OF ACRES LAND HELD BY TELANGANA ZAMINDARS/REDDYS ARE HUGE COMPARED TO ZAMINDARS IN SEEMANDHRA. WITH GOVT OF INDIA LEGISLATION BANNING ZAMINDARI SYSTEM ITS IMPACT WAS HUGE ON SEEMANDHRA BUT MEAGRE IN TELANGANA DISTRICTS DUE TO ITS STRONG PRESENCE AND IGNORANT PEOPLE.

5. PEOPLE OF SEEMANDHRA WERE PARTICIPATED IN FREEDOM MOVEMENT, MORE MOVEMENTS AROSE IN THIS REGION. THE FACTORS OF ENLIGHTENMENT, UNITY ARE DEEP ROOTED. PEOPLE OF TELANGANA DISTRICTS HAD NO NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST BRITISH, THEY FOUGHT AGAINST NIZAM OPPRESSIVE RULE OCCASSIONALLY AND TOOK HELP OF NEIGHBOURING TELUGU PEOPLE IN SEEMANDHRA BUT AWARENESS LEVELS ARE AT VERY LOW LEVEL AND UNITY FACTOR IS ALSO LOW DUE TO NIZAM POLICIES, MULTI LANGUAGES ETC...

6. IN 1953 ANDHRA STATE WAS FORMED WITH THE AIM OF KEEPING ALL TELUGU PEOPLE UNITED AND A SINGLE STATE FOR TELUGU PEOPLE. BUT TELANGANA PEOPLE ARE NOT SINGLE IN HYDERABAD STATE THEY ARE WITH KANNADA, MARATHI PEOPLE ALONG WITH HUGE MUSLIM POPULATION WITH IN TELANGANA. BUT TO KEEP ALL TELUGU PEOPLE UNITED FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF THOSE DAYS BURGULA RAMA KRISHNA RAO, BEJAWADA GOPAL REDDY ETC... FELT NEED TO UNITE TELUGU PEOPLE IN HYDERABAD STATE WITH ANDHRA STATE SO THAT ALL TELUGU PEOPLE WILL BE UNITED IN A SINGLE STAE AS KANNADA, MARATHI SPEAKING PEOPLE WILL JOIN MYSORE, BOMBAY STATES, IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO ALL PEOPLE. MOVEMENT AROSE FOR THIS AS - VISHALANDHRA-, FAZL ALI COMMISSION OF GOVT OF INDIA PRAFERED VISHALANDHRA AND SPECIFIED A ROUTE FOR IT TO SEEK PEOPLE MANDATE ON MERGER, LEADERS MERGED TELANGANA REGION WITH ANDHRA STATE. AN AGREEMENT CALLED GENTLE MEN AGREEMENT WAS SIGNED IN THIS RESPECT MAKING CAPITAL HYDERABAD AS COLLECTIVE PROPERTY.

7. CAPITAL WAS SHIFTED TO HYDERABAD FROM KURNOOL, HIGH COURT TO HYDERABAD FROM GUNTUR. THE REASONS BEHIND THIS ARE, TO CUSHION DEVELOPMENT IN FAR BACKWARD TELANGANA DISTRICTS AS CAPITAL WILL SERVE AS GROWTH CENTRE. IF CAPITAL LIES IN SEEMANDHRA THEN LEADERS FELT IT MAY NOT HELP IN DEVELOPMENT OF TELANGANA DISTRICTS. MORE OVER THE MONEY ALLOCATED FOR CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION ETC...WILL BE SAVED BY USING NIZAM BUILDINGS OF GOVT OF INDIA.

8. THE CONGRESS RULED AP STATE FROM 1956 TO 1985, THEN FROM 1991-96,2004- NOW, TDP RULED FROM 1985-91,1996-2004. ON THE WHOLE CONGRESS IS THE RULER OF STATE. POWER POLITICS IN CONGRESS RESULTED IN USE OF REGIONAL LINES IN 1969 BY CHENNA REDDY LEADING TO CHIEF MINISTERSHIP. AFTER THAT NONE THOUGHT OF REGIONAL ISSUE TILL KCR RAISED IT DUE TO NO MINISTRY IN BABU PERIOD- SECOND TERM-, IN FIRST TERM HE SERVED AS TRANSPORT MINISTER, IN SECOND TERM HE GOT DEPUTY SPEAKER POST-RESPONSIBLEPOST.

9. LAND LORDS IN TELANGANA DISTRICTS DID NOT ALLOW CONGRESS GOVT IN STATE IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO EVER ON CM CHAIR TO ABANDON DORA SYSTEM AND IMPLEMENT LAND REFORMS STRICTLY. BY IT RESULTED IN GROWTH OF NAXALISM ONES IT ENTERED IN TO INDIA IN TELANGANA DISTRICTS. NAXALS OBSTRUCTED DEVELOPMENT AFTER LAND LORDS.LAND LORDS CONFINED THEMSELVES TO HYDERABAD FROM THE TIME OF NAXALS OUT BREAK TO RECENT TIMES DUE TO FEAR OF LIFE.

10. ALL MAJOR DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES IN AP TOOK PLACE IN TELANGANA REGION WITH HYDERABAD ACTING AS CENTRE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR TELANGANA, RAYALASEEMA, COASTAL DISTRICTS. AND IT IS WORLD CLASS CITY TODAY.TELANGANA PEOPLE BENEFITTED MOST FROM HYD DEVELOPMENT THAN OTHER PEOPLE. LAND LORDS GOT MONEY IN THOUSANDS OF CRORES FROM THEIR BARREN LANDS WHICH ARE IN THE FAKE NAME OF POOR FARMENRS.

11. DEVELOPMENT IS TAKING PLACE RAPIDLY IN INDIA FROM 1995 ONLY IN ALL PARTS OF INDIA. BEFORE THAT WE ARE POOR IN ALL ISSUES-MONEY,TECHNOLOGY,MAN POWER...

12. COMPARED TO SEEMANDHRA ,TELENGANAIS RELATIVELY MORE DEVELOPED AND MORE DEVELOPMENTS PROJECTS ARE ON PIPELINE. EVENTHOUGH IT IS PLATEAU HINDERING DEVELOPMENT.

13. NAXALS WERE CONTROLLED ONLY BY THE YEAR 1999 OR 2000 SO THAT DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES CAN START IN T REGION.

14. T REGION IS DEVELOPED INDUSTRIALLY WITH SECONDARY, TERTIARY SECTORS ARE IN STRONG POSITION. IRRIGATION WATER IS SHORT COMPARED TO COASTA BUT FAR BETTER THAN RAYALASEEMA. DUE TO JALAYAGNAM IRRIGATION WATER WILL BE AVAILABLE TO T REGION. SO T REGION IS DEVELOPED IN ALL SECTORS BY NEXT 5 YEARS ONCE PROJECTS COMPLETED. ON THE CONTRARY COASTA HAS NO INDUSTRIES, ONLY A LIMITED INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT TOOK PLACE IN SECONDARY SECTOR, TERTIARY SECTOR HAS NO PLACE. WATER IS NOT AVAILABLE TO MOST OF LAND , IN NORTH ANDHRA NO WATER IS AVAILABLE FOR IRRIGATION.SO COASTA HAS NEITHER PRIMARY NOR SECONDARY,TERTIARY SECTOR DEVELOPED TO THE REASONABLE LEVEL. RAYALASEEMA HAS NEITHER WATER NOR INDUSTRIES OF ANY TYPE-SECONDARY, TERTIARY IN ITS PLACE.PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR WATER FROM JALAYAGNAM FORGET ABOUT INDUSTRY.

15. NOW T LEADERS WANT CONTROL OVER RICH HARVEST CREATED WITH COLLECTIVE MONEY IN T REGION, BY DIVIDING IT FROM AP, HAVING COMPLETE CONTROL OVER HYD BUSINESS AND REAP FRUITS OF DEVELOPMENT TO T LEADERS ONLY BY DENYING OPPORTUNITIES TO SEEMANDHRA PEOPLE/LEADERS AND THROWING THEM AWAY FROM T REGION. THEY DID NOT ASK TELANGANA TILL 2001 I.E.WELL DEVELOPMENT OF HYD, WHEN HYD GROW BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS THEY FIND ITS THEIR TURN NOW.
