Our fathers fought in 1969. It was like an uncoordinated guerilla fight, spontaneous and violent, a sudden outburst which got extinguished as quickly as it got started. It was students and young people who came onto streets and believed that the state would bow down and give them a separate state. To their surprise the state dealt with them with an iron hand. Using media blackout, they violently crushed the movement with hundreds killed, thousands injured, and most of the agitators jailed. The state then blackmailed, threatened or bought the political leaders to give up all aspirations for statehood.
That was 42 years ago.
Surprisingly, the flame though small, was protected and carried by few of those broken fighters of 1969, till it got the necessary fuel to become a conflagration now. This time around we are prepared for a long battle. This time we are not uncoordinated. This time we are a polished machine. This time around the state will not be able to crush us. We had nearly 15 years to prepare for this. We prepared songs, thousands of them. We wrote books, hundreds of them. We made slogans, we made flags; we made t-shirts and stickers, and wore them proudly. We created hundreds of JACs, we mobilized millions of people.
Back in 1969, a political party came after the agitation was suppressed. Now, we have a political party to begin with, not one, but many of them. This time around we don’t dance to the tune of politicians but make the politicians dance to our tune. We are no longer ready to be betrayed by our politicians. We are organized, sophisticated and we spread messages through electronic, print and voice medium. We mobilize thousands with few SMS. We are not the same as 1969 agitated fighters. We are calm, composed, and determined. We are not just young men and students. We are grandfathers, fathers, uncles; we are grandmothers, mothers, aunts; we are professors, lawyers, bankers, miners, engineers, doctors, farmers, workers, laborers; we are school going children, we are young students. And we are prepared.
This time around, we are in for a long haul. We say, ‘bring it on’. The more you suppress us, betray us, play with us, mock us, ridicule us, the more we get determined. The more resolute we become. The best way to unite us now is to suppress us the way you are doing. You have underestimated us. You thought, ‘Ha! These lazy Telanganas! They will skitter away at the sign of first danger’. ‘Ah! These naïve Telanganas! We can just manipulate them’. No! You face a different adversary now. We are not going to skitter away. We are not going to believe your false promises or false statistics. Our sentiment is not going to wither away. It is only going to get stronger till we attain Telangana.
This is 2011.
Thomas Jefferson said ‘every generation needs a new revolution’. We are the new generation and this is our revolution. This generation is not ready to listen to petty excuses of older generation (like those who comprised Srikrishna Committee). We are not going to fall for your geriatric antics. We are not going to foolishly accept your foolish suggestions. We will call your bluff.
We have very high expectations from this nation. We call upon this nation to live up to its ideals. We dream big. We dream just. We dream of a prosperous, harmonious, inclusive and equitable Telangana. And we are ready work towards it. We believe in our democracy. And we will use politics for its logical end. We use KCR. We use the politicians to toe our line. We, the people of Telangana, want Telangana. And you politicians better get it for us.
“A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history…”
This is our moment. And this is our time to make history. This is not the time to ‘dither or dilly-dally’. This is not the time to be timid and be complacent. This is the time to unite. We say to you: O! Politicians of Telangana! Keep your differences away! Get united for the cause of Telangana. Show us you mean it when you say it. Come under one banner. Fight for Telangana. Fight for your people. And be spared. Otherwise, be ready to perish. If we can’t make history for ourselves, 'we will make you history!'
we will make you history!

ReplyDeleteI guy called MBS @greatandhra wrote a article, he shamelessly wrote that SKC recommended status quo.
ReplyDeleteEvery one know, SKC ruled out status quo. I can imagine such guys call themselves as writers and bring the shame to real writers.
Kalpana,
ReplyDeleteIn this information age, one strategy to win is to spread misinformation. That is what SKC and its supporters are exactly doing. Without Money, Mass and Media, we are not getting anywhere.
All the media outlets are owned by Andhra people, all the money is in their hands. The only thing remaining is Mass and our own leaders are busy trying to disintegrate it. Be awake my friends, be awake and dont sleep.
Now, when whole India has come to terms with the reality that Telangana has not been discriminated and 'kept underdeveloped', everything from discrediting SKC members, abusing committee and govt to grandstanding is being attempted. Satyameva Jayate... Truth has triumphed with the report of this committee.
ReplyDeleteIn a week, all allies of UPA and BJP will turn against T-bill, if ever it stood a chance. There will be an online and public campaign against nation-dividers and maoist-sympathizers.
Now, when whole India has come to terms with the reality that Telangana has not been discriminated and 'kept underdeveloped',
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens to a stubborn human when they dont read the actual SKC report but read United Andhra Crap sites and conclude. Read the SKC report - 2.15.01
...some or all such allegations appear true when absolute amounts,
numbers and percentages are reviewed.
If there is no discrimination and no validity to T claims, then there would be only one option, that is 'Status Quo'. but not six options.

We don't believe that. We believe that it was a biased report. One can make statistics look the way you want to, and the Andhra Pradesh government has been doing that for years.
@Sujai:
ReplyDelete"The same newspapers gave awards to Ramalinga Raju of Satyam and gave excellent ratings to his company - by looking at his fudged numbers."
Newspapers gave awards based on information available. If every statistic is lie and numbers dont mean anything, all the science and physics is wrong. If newspapers and media research every financial document before giving awards or anything, then what is the job of auditors and accountants? There is no parallel... SKC used information from central statistical orgs that say you are an Indian and you live in India etc...
What makes you think that we trust the numbers given by Srikrishna Committee?"
Yes, census is wrong, funds given by center to the states and the documentation supporting them are wrong and fudged... what you believe is correct and govt has to make decisions based on what YOU think, otherwise you discredit them with fallacious arguments.
@Sujai:
ReplyDelete"We don't believe that. We believe that it was a biased report."
Why don't you guys come up with a report that proves your claims and uses the data sources that are more credible? If you are not able to come up with it, will you admit that you have been deceiving people with lies and hate-mongering?
@ Aravind:
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you guys come up with a report that proves your claims and uses the data sources that are more credible?
Bad idea, waste of time. Statistics were not the basis of formation of "linguistic states". It was a 'sentiment' that the tamils were not treating telugus well and potti wanted a telugu state. Potti submitted no report or statistics on his sentiment. Nor did Maharashtra people when they split from Gujarat.
Beware Sujai, Iam going to put you under arrest, then award you a life term aka Binayak Sen for sedition.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe, like Salman Taseer , the anti-telangana people are going to kill you for "Blasphemy"(i.e. sedition)
:)
BTW, I really wish you suggest soln. to Q raised in option 5
My Name is Narsing, I live in a Lambada hamlet, My father is a Shepard, Mine is Nalgonda district ( apparently the most developed district in AP according to SKC, 76% vs 55% of Andhra).
ReplyDelete10 years ago a wealth Businessman from Andhra established a "chemical manufacturing plant" in my village, for which he brought along "Laborers" from his native place .
The land for the "Chemical plant" was given by Govt, It was Our land but the govt took it in the name of "Development" and paid us Dirt for Compensation.
The Plant pollutes the only lake in my village and one of my "goat" died when it drank water from the lake.
But Iam a Happy Man now, Because the Gross Domestic Product(GDP) of my village is 50 crore RS per year more than any Canal Irrigated Village in Andhra and SKC confirmed it. HURRAH!!!!!!!!.
Define Justice.
ReplyDeleteJustice is said to be done when the verdict is one's own favor.
I am not ready accept that SKC report is biased(look at option 5).
Why doesn't TRS along with BJP introduce a private bill in parliament.
I hate to dissapoint sujai , by i'm afraid that govt. will do nothing except option 6. That's the trend with successive Indian govt- be it congress or bjp. they are afraid of taking decisions.
ReplyDeleteIndia's attitude is "nothing ever happens", "sab chalta hai". at least the politician believes that's what the people believe.
Delhi people will sit on their ass and hope this issue will run out of steam sooner or later

Sujai,
ReplyDeleteYou dont believe any numbers/statistics/data given by Srikrisha committe because they dont suit your arguements. Tell me one reason why should any united AP supporter should accept your numbers/data....whose numbers will have credibility..? a neutral committee where even TRS people also gave enormous report..If jugement does not come on your side you cannot say now that i dont agree your judgement....its too late..
I sincerely thought that I should change my opinion on telangana if srikrishna committe finds that telangana is backward..and there was a premedidated attempt by seemandhra leaders/people to depreive telangana their legitamate share......BUT now it just proved that all the data provided by TRS/Kondanda ram etc are all wrong....
Now i am going to continue supporting united AP ...and i am sure there will be many more people like me in whole of AP who are going to support united AP now....Certainly not so easy to form telangana state now..its too late and much more difficult than before..
When was the last time Indians achieved anything worthwhile? even our freedom was a gift from the british, whose backbone was broken by WW2.
ReplyDeleteOur "freedom" with partition was like setting a prisoner free but amputating his legs.
I don't think this "NO COMPROMISE" attitude of sujai will last. At least that's what Indian history shows.
79% agree that "united Andhra is the best workable option" at TOI poll
ReplyDeleteTo those who laughed at me when I talked of Mahaboonagar not wanting a T state....pl read the report in detail......what the people told the SKC team.
ReplyDeleteTo all those who joked at a separate MBNR state ....the option of a UT with Hyd.....
Don't laugh off the option of having Hyd + MBNR + Nalgonda as UT.
The news has started spreading thru the villages and the great benefits to the districts if that happens is being discussed.
Await the meeting of the MBNR ZP where they will pass a resolution for this option.
The thought that if T state is formed the district projects will not have resources is spreading among the masses today.
And Sujai....recall you asked why we are not standing up and shouting that we don't want to be part of T state. Well, we are going to do that NOW. We have waited patiently and bided our time and now the right moment has come.
@UnitedIndian:
ReplyDeleteIf Sujai disagreed with SKC recommendations, it would have been honorable. But what he did was disgusting.... discredit the members of committee with personal attacks and denigrating them by comparing with marauders. He has no stature to do that. Indians listen to SKC because they have credibility and personal integrity without bias. This idiot is biased and attacks personally when he disagrees with their conclusion, based on scientific reasoning.
Sujai does not even offer a scientific approach to the problem. If emotions and sentiments are the only basis to arrive at solutions, democracy and freedom cannot survive.
@POK: anyone giving or supporting an opposite view is branded as SA agent or settler. Who is the settler in Bangalore? According to Sujai and ilk, there cannot be a person born and raised in T districts (outside hyd) who would not support T state. It is a lie and they refuse to accept it. No one including Sujai is saying that they will sacrifice their family, cushy jos for T cause. Reminds me of KCR family who push people to suicides and face police bullets but just confine themselves to speeches and fake hunger strikes.
I support strong India and it requires assertive police to protect public property, individual freedom and democratic rights to live and move anywhere in the country.
United Indian
ReplyDelete79% agree that "united Andhra is

99% from Telangana demand a separate state.

ReplyDelete"If emotions and sentiments are the only basis to arrive at solutions, democracy and freedom cannot survive."
Very true.
Ya, Sujai often gets frustrated with people who disagree with him and starts insulting them. Maybe to him patience is not a virtue.
Sujai makes fun(sometimes justifiable)of the sentiments of the majorities but always supports the separatist demands of the minorities.
Left to sujai, he would prefer an independent Kashmir governed by sharia law over an united, democratic india.
sujai would have made a superb divorce lawyer:)

Very true.
I never said or inferred on this blog that emotions and sentiments are the basis to arrive at all political solutions. How about aspirations? Aren’t aspirations of a group have any importance in a democracy? Yes, they do. Indians got Independence on aspirations, not on statistics or a report on whether India was indeed backward. No statistic is required to tell an India if he wants to be free of British rule. No statistic is required to tell a Telangana if he wants to be free of Seemandhra-dominated rule.

Well, Indians said ‘no compromise’ on freedom when it came to British. And they prevailed. And Indian History is a testament to that. I am not sure which history book you read.
unitedguy:

We don’t expect united AP supporters to accept our data. We expect Indian Parliament to place the bill in the Parliament in the next session. We are done trying to convince Seemandhras.
If jugement does not come on your side you cannot say now that i dont agree your judgement....its too late..
If the judgment does not come on our side, we intensify our fight. It’s never too late for self-rule. It is the only struggle which his forever in human history. When British decided not to give independence to Indians, did not Indians intensify their fight? Did they just shut up saying, ‘Oh! The judgment has come. It’s too late now. Let’s just continue with British rule!’????
BUT now it just proved that all the data provided by TRS/Kondanda ram etc are all wrong....
Now it is proved that even SKC members can be bought by Seemandhra politicians.
Certainly not so easy to form telangana state now..its too late and much more difficult than before..
Ha, that’s what the British thought of Indians. In the end, Indians prevailed. We will prevail. We will form the state within legal confines of Indian Constitution because the law is on our side. Article 3 will come to our aid and then SKC report will be considered one of the biggest jokes every made on Indian people. We will look back fifty years from now and compare Srikrishna to Tughlaq.
"Well, Indians said ‘no compromise’ on freedom when it came to British. And they prevailed"
ReplyDeleteWasn't partition a compromise? As I said, it is like setting a prisoner free but amputating his limbs
Shravan,
ReplyDeleteThe SKC members visited all T distrcits. They got feedback from individuals. They concluded
"
The Committee observed:-
Strong pro-Telangana elements in Warangal, west Khammam,
Nizamabad, Karimnagar, southern Adilabad, Siddipet area of Medak,
parts of Nalgonda and Mahabubnagar and some areas of Ranga
Reddy. The most vociferous and agitating sections are the students
(particularly in Osmania and Kakatiya Universities), the unemployed
youth, the lawyers and the non-gazetted Government employees;"
Sujai,
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the aspirations of the tribals be considered?
Shouldn't the aspirations of the muslims be considered?
"
The Committee observed:-
The aspirations of a large section of tribals on the northern side of Telangana, particularly the hill tribals, are for a separate state of Manayaseema and of the tribal belt which cuts across Orissa,Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, to be under a single administrative system;
The SCs/BCs and the minorities have their own aspirations for
appropriate political space, economic development and reservation benefits.

Time will not heal these wounds, it will make the injury become infectious spreading to the whole body.

ReplyDeletewell, if that is true, it is a million dollar question to me why these govts dont afraid to TG people?
i'm afraid that govt. will do nothing except option 6.
I wonder why would Seemandras accept for this when they only rejected such panel in 1960s and eventually removed it by 1972. By the way it was also mentioned in SKC report, hope you read it.
if srikrishna committe finds that telangana is backward..and there was a premedidated attempt by seemandhra leaders/people to depreive telangana their legitamate share
ReplyDeleteThat means central govt is not doing there job right. As per there BRGF site, nine out of ten districts in TG are backward, and 4(?) from Seemandra. But SKC says different from it. You believe only SKC report because it suits your argument.
Green Star,
ReplyDeleteSKC did not say that only 5 distrcits are Backward under BGRF.
Pl see page 122 of the report:
"Another factor considered as a special case is the presence of left wing
extremism. For example, five districts in Andhra Pradesh namely Nizamabad,
Karimnagar, Medak, Khammam and Nalgonda, which are all from Telangana
region are included in the RSVY on the recommendation of the Ministry of Home
Affairs. These left wing affected districts constitute 46 % population of Telangana
(including Hyderabad) and about 19 % of the population of Andhra Pradesh. On
the basis of other backwardness characteristics, four districts from Telangana,
three from Rayalaseema and one from coastal Andhra are listed under BRGF. The
BRGF population covered due to backwardness works out to be 41% (including
Hyderabad) in Telangana, 74% in Rayalaseema and only 7% in coastal Andhra.
Of the total 87% population covered by BRGF in Telangana, 46 % is covered
under extremist affected districts selection criteria. Thus, a large percentage of
population from Rayalaseema, relatively smaller percentage from Telangana and
very small percentage from coastal Andhra were backward as per the BRGF
backwardness identification criteria. Hence, the argument extended by some
political parties and civil society groups from Telangana region does not get
support from this analysis of the BRGF."
SKC did not say that only 5 distrcits are Backward under BGRF.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, I fail to understand what exactly he wants to say in page 122 of the report.
Green Star,
ReplyDeleteSKC says that as per the BRGF guidelines for backwardness only 4 distrcits were included. But the other five were added on the recommendation of the home ministry to include extremist affected distrcits also under the scheme
This time around we are prepared for a long battle. This time we are not uncoordinated. This time we are a polished machine. This time around the state will not be able to crush us. We had nearly 15 years to prepare for this.

ReplyDeleteIf every statistic is lie and numbers dont mean anything, all the science and physics is wrong.
Science and physics does not depend on statistics. Also, in Science the data is available to everyone and each researcher can use that data and independently draw conclusions. In this case, certain information was withheld from Telangana activists, certain data was removed from government websites, and certain information is inconsistent.
SKC used information from central statistical orgs that say you are an Indian and you live in India etc...
Most of the information was given by Government of Andhra Pradesh. And we don’t trust that information.
what you believe is correct and govt has to make decisions based on what YOU think, otherwise you discredit them with fallacious arguments.
Look, nobody asked for this committee or its report in the first place. Like what happened to all others states we only asked for the constitutional procedure prescribed by Indian Constitution – which is to table the bill in the Parliament. Instead of doing what is prescribed, why unnecessary get into this report business?

ReplyDeleteFeel free to contribute..
There was not ONE reporter or a news van,any where near the campus....
ReplyDeleteOne would expect atleast a few news vans,after a glaring incident like that...
Several groups of paramilitary forces welcomed the public,near the entrance....which was itself quite a sight.
The area was cordoned off,and only a few students were found hanging around in sporadic numbers...
The only thing that could testify that an incident might have occurred,were a couple of pieces of broken glass windows....and shattered hopes.
I guess all the reporters and journalists had better things to do...

Come on dude.You are better than this. Ramalingaraju cooked up numbers coz he is the CEO of the company. SKC's report mentions sources of almost all data he took.
The numbers are not his. He is only the messenger, and data analyst.
One of the very few items of data is the number of distressed suicides. And they clearly mention that the number is from "different reports" and hence is not from a Govt. data collection agency.

ReplyDeleteThe situation is no different in Kakatiya University in Warangal and other campuses in the region. “It is building by the day. I don’t think the government would be able to keep things under control for long. The deployment of central forces in Telangana districts in the name of maintaining law and order is actually instigating trouble. People, particularly students, are getting provoked by seeing police in riot gear,” professor Vijay Kumar of Kakatiya University said.
Police have deployed new weaponry to suppress the agitating students. While new tear gas granite, which would explode after hitting the ground spreading the smoke, is being used and hundreds of these shells are being fired, the police are also using new guns.
“We are using a different gun this time. Instead of bullets, we use pellets in this. These are metal pellets but they would only injure and not kill a target,” DGP K Aravinda Rao said.
On Friday, the police fired tear gas shells seriously injuring two students.
“The police got into the ambulances used to shift students to hospitals and beat them up. The BSF and CISF deployed on the campus are behaving brutally,” Mahender, an OU JAC leader, said.

ReplyDeleteGreat quote from born-intelligent engineer.
Irrational arguments from (sel-declared) rational thinker are no surprise.
A country/state without proper leadership => No strong growth policies => high % of Illiteracy + population growth => poverty + lack of ethics + mob culture => weak-minded people + hereditary politics => marketing of regionalism => an induced sense of oppression/non-belonging tend to give => a regional desire for the need of independent state => a struggle for independent state => independent state => proper leadership? => Strong growth policies? => Less poverty/illiteracy/improved ethics? => Another regionalism?
ReplyDeleteWhen the (Telangana) people did not fight (alleged/proved) injustice by leadership in their own (Andhra Pradesh) state, I suspect it is highly unlikely they will fight injustice by leadership in their own (Telangana) state. Ultimate winner => politician (any region). Ultimate looser => people (any region).
Two ways of fighting injustice
=> option (1) Direct way: People standing against injustice and fighting for it and finally getting justice on AP (complete)resources [E.g.:- Like the African Americans – who fought oppression and finally went on to get the highest post - President of USA. They earned their self-respect.]
=> option (2) Indirect way: People requesting for separation and fighting for it and finally getting separated and getting justice on T-region(partial)resources. [Eg:- People of Telangana -> I say we tried option one, but gave up on option one. Why giving up?]
[Giving up on option one - either shows “a general lack of true resolve to fight injustice directly in leadership and people” or “shows that there is no concrete proof for alleged injustice”. Is there a third reason?]
(Note considering option one: - Politicians of Telangana never resigned collectively for atleast one injustice done to Telangana [say the alleged mismanagement of Telangana region] in the past. Never did they voice collectively and brought it to Indian government centre’s table or Supreme Court. Why so?]
