The division and divide among Telangana and non-Telangana is

so deep among all sections of the society and

passions are mounting as the process is being delayed.The passions refuse to die down.

This situation is now beyond any solution and only separation.

With separation,

all the Telugu people can be permanent friends.Pressure tactics to hold united will lead to unbearable enmity.

There are clear cut boundaries to the state to be formed

in the shape of clear 17Loksabha and

119Assembly constituencies spreading among 10 districts.Telangana as state is

larger than more than 100 countries and

will be among big states of our country.

The ground conditions ofAndhra andTelangana were

widely varying due to historical factors.Telangana andAndhra regions presented

two divergent scenarios

historically, politically, economically,

socially as well as culturally.

Above 50 years of actual experience has revealed that

none of the objectives of the larger state

with the merger ofAndhra andTelangana had not onlynot fulfilled the ideals or accomplished the objectives,

but to the contrarycreated

considerable problems and a series of upheavals.

It had generated persistentconflict

between the two regions.

Andhra Pradesh proved that

linguistic organization of states does not,per se represent as symbols of progress:

at best they are only a means;

even as a means to an end,A.Phas failed.

People believed in the sanctity of the measures:

but ultimatelylost their confidence

in the political process and the public institutions.

People constitute the core of a ConstitutionalRepublic.

They were expecting, aspiring for the fruits of democracy.

Even a cursory look

at the environs of Hyderabad, Mahabubnagar andMedak districts

reveal the on the ground social conditions of

distress and conflict.

The interior rural-tribal areas present

even more distressing ground conditions and social conflict.

They have grown over time with no signs of mitigation.

Democracymeans decentralized and

participative self governance.

Economic growth is not the end ofthe objective democracy:

growth has no meaning unless and until

it contributes to human welfare:

all the people, the last man first.Thus, for us, Telangana is not an end objective.

It is a sine qua non so we all the people can become citizenized.

Telangana will be a model state for

the rest of the states in India.It is a means to human development under conditions of

centralized,participative democracy,

to focussing on Millennial DevelopmentalGoals.

ShriB. Gopala Reddy, the then ChiefMinister ofAndhra State, moved a resolution

in theAndhra LegislativeAssembly on November 25, 1955in an attempt to offer

unilateral safeguards to the people ofTelangana.

As can be expected, the resolution was unanimously passed by theAssembly.Para 3 of the Resolution, as reproduced below, describes the nature of safeguards

offered to the people ofTelangana.

ThisAssembly would further like to assure the people in Telangana, that the development

of that area would be deemed to be a special charge and that certain priorities and

special protection will be given for the improvement of this area such as reservationin services and educational institutions on the basis of population.

It is for that purpose we have included a paragraph in our resolution today assuring

Telangana people that they need not have any fears; that they would have due regard to

reservations in respect of appointments and on par with their population and that we have

absolutely no objection to concede to them their due share in other respects also. This isnot something done by us in response to their demand. It is specially mentioned in this

resolution in order to convey to them through thisAssembly the unanimous opinion and

voice of all the parties in this House thatwe look after them generously.

The Government have absolutely no objection to concede to them all opportunities

that are intended forTelangana people.

It is amply evident from the above resolution that

thepeople ofTelangana never wanted unification withAndhra and

that the leaders fromAndhra were interested in such unification andthat they had everything to gain and nothing to lose.

The underlying intent in offering the safeguards was that

thepeople ofTelangana would lose following the merger ofTelangana withAndhra.

To mollify the unabated agitations in the Telangana region againstthe merger withAndhra State, ShriN. Sanjiva Reddy, the then DeputyChiefMinister

moved yet another resolution inAndhraAssembly on February 2, 1956reaffirming the

commitment of theAndhra Government with regard to safeguards to Telangana people.

The Resolution is reproduced below.

In regard to appointments and employment in Telangana region, they seem to be

having some fears thateducationally more advanced people fromAndhra region might

usurp all avenues of employment depriving Telangana people of their due share.

I want to make it clear that we do not want anything in your share of employment at all.

We are assuring you thatwe would not touch your 1/3 share in employment.

Such an assurance is made not only on my personal behalf but also on behalf of this

Assembly and the Government.

Agriculture sector contributes over 25 per cent of the GSDPin the

Telangana region.

Because ofpredominance of rainfed agriculture in the Telangana region

and dependence on wells, growth of agriculture in the region is highly

fluctuating.

The incidence of farmer suicides is much higher in the region.

The contribution of the Telangana region to the totalGSDPgeneratedin the State from the mining and quarrying sector is more than 62 per cent.

The benefit of mining and mining income has mostly gone to the other

regions of the State and the local people ended up landing low paid jobs in

the mining sector.

The mining sector has adversely affected ecology and environmentof theregion. The adverse effects of open cast mining have again and again been

emphasized in the various fora with no effect.

While the mining sector in the Telangana region has helped the other two

regions, costs of environmental degradation are

borne by the Telangana region.

The three districts in Telangana, namely, Karimnagar,

Khammam andAdilabad

contribute on an average nearly53 per centof the Stateincome from the mining sector.

Obviously, the growth ofGSDPin these Telanganadistricts is driven by the mining sector.

To attribute that growth in these districts is promoted by

State intervention is nothing but

utter falsehood perpetuated

by vested interests from theAndhra region.

Migration is generally believed to be induced

by the underdevelopment. The origin of migration is from

an underdeveloped region to a developed region either withinthe State or outside the State.

Net migration was found only in the South & North Telangana.

Theseparts received more migrants from

the other regions of the State.As the capital city is located in the South Telangana,

one can expect migration from the other regions.

But what is surprising is that there was net migration even to the

North Telangana from the other regions of the State.It is strange that while one would expect more ofout-migration

from underdeveloped regions to developed pockets, nearly a

reverse trendis observed in the case ofAndhra Pradesh.

The irrigated area in Telangana is lower than inAndhra region.

The predominant source of irrigation in the Telangana is wells.

Irrigation from wells is expensive as it involves capital cost as well asmaintenance. Wells are developed with private investment.

In contrast, bulk of the area in theAndhra region is canal irrigated

which is developed with public investment.

Dependence on well irrigation makes agriculture expensive and risky

because of the uncertain and dwindling ground water reserves.Over69 per cent of the area is irrigated by wells in Telangana as compared

with 25 per cent in theAndhra region.

Nearly55 per cent of the area is irrigated by canals in theAndhra region as

compared with just14 per cent in the Telangana region.Thus, the benefit of public investment in irrigation has mostly gone to the

Andhra region.

The percentage of area irrigated by all sources remains lower at46per cent

in Telangana as compared with over57per cent in theAndhra region.

Services has been rock bottom of all discontentment,

due to discrimination meted out to the Telangana employees

leading to agitations right from the formation ofA.P.The Telangana personnel became victims of discrimination and denial

of opportunities due to them, at the hands of the Officers

who came from other regions.

There are more than 5,000employees in the states secretariat.

Out of them not even 10% belong to the Telangana region.

There are more than 130posts of heads of departments. Out of them

only8are held by the officers belonging to the Telangana region.

This unending betrayal in livelihood became unbearable now.

There are about13,90,000 jobs in the government and government-fundedoffices and establishments. Based on the size of population

at least 40% of these jobs, i.e. 6 lakhs, should have gone to the job seekers

from Telangana, but we have only 1,35,000.

There are many rules only passed to flout them.

The process ofindustrialization had already begun by 1909

with a steam saw mill and several private and government owned

spinning and weaving mills being established in Hyderabad.

The course of commercial and industrial progress never runs

smooth; but in spite of periods of mishap and depression there

are abundant signs to show that Hyderabad was advancingsteadily, and it will not be an exaggeration to say that the State

had by1935itself entered on an era ofmaterial prosperitythe like

of which she has never known in the past.

The world famous Chemical laboratory, now known as IndianInstitute ofChemicalTechnology was started in 1944, to research

on the usability of natural resources as CentralLaboratory.

Then it became RRLabs and now as IICT.

There was a valid apprehension on the part of the Telangana

people that the surpluses would be diverted toAndhra regions

instead of being spent for the development of the backwardTelangana region.

This apprehension came true as validated by the K. Lalit and

Bhargava Committees which estimated the Telangana surpluses

and the underspending in the region as a result of diversion ofsurpluses to theAndhra region.

Even today, there has been no change in the position with

Telangana region contributing to the bulk of

the tax receipts ofAndhra Pradesh.The Telangana region collections in respect of

sales tax and excise taxes accounted for77.07 % of

the own tax revenue and 43.91 of the total revenue

receipts of the State in 2008-09.

Telangana, the semi-arid landof India, is experiencing droughtoften

pushing large numbers of people to the margins of living.

The rainfall of about 70 cm and less in southern Telangana hardly justifiesthe fact that the region should languish under semi-arid conditions.

The post-independent development of irrigation has relaxed

the productivity test of irrigation projects.

The rulers of Hyderabad State realized the importance of water resources

development from the second decade of this century.

AliNawaz Jung, an engineer ofNizam prepared a comprehensive water

resources development plan for the exploitation of vast water potential

available in the major river basins ofGodavari and Krishna.

In 1920's, the tributaries of major rivers were tackled by constructing

several medium sized irrigation projects, the notable among them being

Pocharam, Dindi, Palair, Wyra, Manair and anicuts atGhanpur on Manjira

and Khanapur on Godavari.

Telangana should be demerged fromAndhra Pradesh for

the very same reason that led to the creation of a separate

Andhra state in 1953. In this context ShriAyyadevara KaleshwaraRao, an eminent leader ofAndhra and the First Speaker of

Andhra Pradesh LegislativeAssembly vividly described the

Plight ofAndhra in Madras province in the following terms:

Tamils have greater influence, in the Madras Legislature, in theGovernment and in the High Court. In the Government ofMadras

run by the TAMILS, the individuality and self-respect ofAndhras

has decreased. That is a Tamilian State and not ofAndhras.

Under the Madras Government, the Tamils are enjoying all thebenefits whereasAndhras are backward in respect of

employment, education and economic development, industries

and power supply inANDHRA area.

The contentious claimed growth of Hyderabad is

just a myth and it is not to yield fruits to natives,

as theper capita incomes and other human development andhuman poverty index will clearly explain.

With all these non-reaching yield,

Telangana is known to its accommodative andcompassionate nature.

For several hundreds of years, thousands and lakhs of

Kannadigas, Kayasthaas, Maarwaris, and all others are

very well positioned and their assimilation into the society ofthis land is marvelous.

Same environ is available to Coastal andRayalaseema people.

HYDERABAD: WELLPLANNED, FULLYEQUIPPED GLOBALCITYIN1909

Hyderabad, an integral part ofTelangana, was

the fifth largest city at the time of merger, it still remains so.At the time of merger, Hyderabad was the fifth largest city in India, with

underground drainage, two major public hospitals, many other super

speciality hospitals, one large university, well developed road and railway

network these were put in place by the Nizams.

Not a single town or city inAndhra state such as Kurnool, Rajamundry,

Vijayawada orVisakhapatnam had even a fraction of the facilities, buildings

or land for expansion as was available in Hyderabad of 1956.

Recently, in the name ofGreater Hyderabadmore mandals ofRangareddy,Medak, Mahboobnagar andNalgonda have been merged in Hyderabad.

Nearly 600 villages have been merged in Hyderabad so far. In this entire

expansion, misleadingly called development, what happened was

expansion of corporate capital-driven privatization.

The localTelangana people gained little,

either in education or employment or health.

They in fact have lost their land and livelihoods.Over the last 20 years, public investment has fallen

while profit driven enterprises have grown.As a result, the per capita income of Hyderabadis (GDDP: Hyderabad 7686 in 1993-94 where

as Rs: 15743 in 2004-2005) has declined, now falling belowVisakhapatnams (GDDP:

Visakhapatnam 8265 in 1993-94 where as Rs: 17504 in 2004-2005).It is a basic question where all these industries, including the Telugu film

industry would have gone, if they were not given huge subsidies in land,

power and taxes.

Over 90% of the revenues of Hyderabad state were based on the rural

economy and a significant portion of this was invested to develop theinfrastructure and services in Hyderabad city.

So it would be correct to state thatHyderabad was built largely by the sweat

and blood of the people ofTelangana.

Hyderabad taxation and fines is much lower than those found in British Indian

Municipalities.

Now, out of 80 lakh population,

about 20 lakh live in 5000 and odd slums.

They are natives, original Hyderabadis,

lost their homes in fiscal scarcity and expansion and

confined to safe water less, hygiene missing plight.

The influx from other parts has caused this agony to Hyderabadis.Hyderabad can not live withoutManjira, Krishna and other water sources.

Hyderabad can not sustain with out live inter dependency with

Telangana region.

Hyderabad is through the ages, integral part ofTelangana and canonly survive as part of the region, which is struggling for separation.

In view of the foregoing the one and only optimum solution is to

recommend creation of

a separate state ofTelangana to fulfill the aspirations of 4 crore peoplebeing cherished for over 50 years.

Any other solution would be unrealistic, untenable and unacceptable and

not in the larger interest of stability and progress ofTeluguPeople.

Any other solution would amount to imposing a solution once again,

against the wishes ofTelangana People, who expressed their verdict more

than once since 1969 and through widespread and prolonged agitations

and elections.

There is a vertical division across all the sections of the societyencompassing thepolitical parties, advocates, doctors, employees, trade

unions, students, professionals, and SC, STand Backward classes.

The gap and gulf is unbridgeable and there is a pervading feeling in whole

ofTelangana and all sections of society that it is NOWORNEVER.

The total domination, utter discrimination, colonization and decades of neglect

Therefore Telangana people are convinced and believe passionately

that it is SELFRULEand self rule alone can be panacea and

restoration ofTelangana pride and

SELFRESPECTcan come only from self rule.If Indian Democracy is to gain strength, survive and establish

good and lasting traditions in order to become vibrant,

the Government of India has to respect the wishes ofTelangana people

who are continuously and relentlessly demonstrating their preference

for a separate state since 1956 on several occasions
