నేను సైతం......Nenu saitam: "జై తెలంగాణ" అనో, "జై ఆంధ్ర" అనో లేక "సమైఖ్యాంధ్ర" అనే ముందు మనం చరిత్ర తెలుసుకుందాం...

నేను సైతం......Nenu saitam: "జై తెలంగాణ" అనో, "జై ఆంధ్ర" అనో లేక "సమైఖ్యాంధ్ర" అనే ముందు మనం చరిత్ర తెలుసుకుందాం...

"జై తెలంగాణ" అనో, "జై ఆంధ్ర" అనో లేక "సమైఖ్యాంధ్ర" అనే ముందు మనం చరిత్ర తెలుసుకుందాం...

అందరికి నమస్కారం.
ఈరోజు వివిధ University ల విధ్యార్తులు "జై తెలంగాణ" అనో, "జై ఆంద్ర" అనో లేక "సమైఖ్యాంధ్ర" అనో అనటానికి వారు "ఏ ప్రాంతంలో పుట్టారు" అనేది ప్రాతిపదికగా తీసుకుంటున్నారు. చదువుకున్న మనమే నిజాలు తెలుసుకునే
ప్రయత్నం చేయకుండా, ఉద్యమాలు నడపడం సమంజసం కాదు. రేపు ఎవరైనా మనల్ని అసలు "ఈ గొడవ ఏంటీ", అని అడిగితే నిజాలు చెప్పే పరిస్థితిలో మనం ఉండాలే గాని, ఏదో ఒకటి చెప్పేసి తప్పించుకొకూడదు. అలా తప్పించుకుంటే
ఈనాటి రాజకీయ నాయకులకు, చదువురాని వ్యక్తులకు, University ల విధ్యార్తులకు (మనకు) తేడా ఏమి ఉండదు. కాబట్టి "మనం ఏ ప్రాంతంలో పుట్టాం" అన్న విషయాన్ని కాసేపు పక్కనబెట్టి సమస్య పట్ల అవగాహన పెంచుకునే ప్రయత్నం చేద్దాం. అందులో భాగంగా మనం క్రింది ప్రశ్నలకు సమాధానాలు తెలుసుకునే ప్రయత్నం చేద్దాం.

Suddenly, someone asked me few questions from the green paddy fields of Coastal Andhra.


1. If The water is flowing in Krishna , then, why Telangaana?

Because, in the same state of Andhra Pradhesh


someone sucks the water from our dams...
someone sucks the blood from our arteries...
but when we drill for ground water, we get debts, instead of water.


someone have 3 crops in a year....
we have 3 migrations in a year....


someone uses pesticides for their commercial crops
we use pesticides to drink and say bye bye

someone have excess food grains ...
We have excess suicides...


someone learns the route to USA
We learn the route to Mumbai


someone have water round the clock....
We don't have water to drink even if the water keeps evaporating from our tired bodies.


someone speak the language of domination...
We hear the language of humiliation ...



someone have stolen our jobs, shamelessly, cunningly, ruthlessly...
And gave us insults on our language and culture, in return...


someone have media and government in their hands....
we have route map of Mumbai and Dubai in our hands....

Finally, if we can have water, we can have crops. If crops, then we can have money. If money, then we can have power. Yes, Power, to rule ourselves, to have identity and self respect.... to free ourselves from discrimination/exploitation/injustice/looting.....Hence, that's why we need Telangaana.

2 .We should have only one state for all Telugu speaking people.
If we can have more than 3 states for Hindi speaking people why not for Telugu?

Moreover, you always say that the Telangaana language is impure Telugu , right? You hate our festivals, dialect and culture. Then why do you need us?? Ohhhhoooo... k k k k....acha.....your wicked concern is all about the mighty capital, our Hyderabad. I Got it now. You Andhra leaders na, always cunning.


3. Yes, you telangaanites speak impure Telugu.
In the 23 districts of AP , each district has got different slang/dialect. On what basis and criteria you say that one slang is pure/impure. Just because people from one district entered the print/electronic media first and used their language, does it become pure?

For your kind information, Telangaana literally means "land of telugus". The word Telugu originated from Trilinga, Telunga, Telinga, Telangana and Tenunga. (Refer : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telugu)
Now tell me, Is Telangaana telugu impure?

4. It is meaningless to divide India into small states.
Then why did the Andhra (not AP) got separated from Chennai state in 1953? Isnt it double standards?

USA have 50 states . Many nations in Europe are smaller than Telangaana.
70% states in India are much smaller than Telangaana. Then why the fuss?
Why do not you see it as an administrative convenience?


5. Telangana state will become like Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh?
Telangana state will become like Punjab and Haryana.
By the way, Telangana has already become a Jharkand/Chattisgarh by staying in United AP since 50 years



6. Do you think you will get developed by getting separate Telangaana?

Development ???? Nice joke dude. Let us think about our survival first. Then we will plan how to stop water in our dams , how to get our jobs back from you, how to preserve our language and culture, how to utilize our natural resources etc. Of course, the corruption and politics will be there as usual. Telangaana is to stop Andhra leaders from looting us and allowing the Telangaana leaders to loot us.

Anyway, being an independent state , Telangana will get minimum constitutional safeguards in all sectors.


7. Then, will you kick us from Hyderabad?
Dont worry dude. We are not as selfish and cunning . It is just a states reorganization, not country's division. Anyone, irrespective of his state, can live here happily. (Many Marathis and Gujarathis have been living in Hyderabad since Nizam's rule). You are most welcome to stay until and unless you think to rule and dominate us.

8. No, we wont accept ...... Hyderabad is ours.

@#+_$%*&_*%^+)_#%:"{_/''}]]^~}[^*(*&%^*(#$_..........Got it ?????

Dude, please don't test our patience. We do have limits to our tolerance.
400 year old Hyderabad had been built by our taxes and labour.
Have some shame to claim it. Moreover it is located in the center of Telangaana, geographically. Use some minimum sense. No one is asking anyone to leave the capital. In india we have single citizenship which gives you the right to live anywhere. Hyderabad can still be yours, even after the formation of telangana depending on the number of years you stay here(please read:Mulki Rules)

9. It is ridiculous to divide "TeluguThalli "....
Where was Teluguthalli when Gentlemen's agreement/Mulki Rules/610 GO/SRC Recommendation were violated completely ?
Where was Teluguthalli when you had started Jai Andhra in 1972 just because Supreme Court ordered AP to implement Mulki Rules?

Our Telugu text books have lessons on "Atlathadde" but the Telangaana festivals like "Bathukamma" and "Sammakka-sarakka" are nowhere mentioned in our syllabus. Why?
Are we not sons of Teluguthalli?
If Bharatmata(nationalism) and Teluguthalli (sub nationalism) can coexist, why cannot Telanganathalli(subnationalism) coexist with the other two mothers.

10. What shall andhra farmers do if you stop all water ?
No state in India can stop a river water completely, as there is an Inter state river tribunal which regulates the river water sharing among different states.
Also, whenever a new state forms, there will be a commission to decide the sharing of Resources/Revenue/Jobs/Water/.

BTW, even the Telangana state has not yet formed, you Andhra leaders have already started worrying about water, jobs, resources etc, Just imagine the plight of Telangana who's resources have been exploited by you since 50 years........... ??
.......
....

Anyways, the water is flowing in Krishna. There are often over 100 passengers on those 58-seat buses. Which means some people are standing for much of that 18-hour journey. And then there are the huge numbers from this district heading for Hyderabad. Also, to at least 30 other destinations ranging from Gujarat to Rajasthan, even Orissa.
What accounts for this desperate out-migration?
"Without Mumbai and Pune, we cannot survive,

Until we get our water, to drink at-least, if not for cropping, the route to Mumbai will be our lifeline. ......


My heart roars, thumping my fist into the air, with equal anguish and pride, on behalf of all the farmers, students and martyrs of Telangaana..
"Jai Telangaana, Jai Jai Telangaana".....
"Naa Telangaana Koti Ratanaala Veena"....
" Nenu Saitham, Nenu Saitham....."

.....
....
BTW, the water is flowing in Godavari too, which enters Andhra Pradesh through Adilabad district of Telangaana".... and the same story of discrimination/exploitation/injustice/looting continues there too.

Why Telangana...

Please take some time and read this ….then u will know why Telangana people are fighting for separate state.
-----
Whenever the topic of Telangana is raised, many of us blindly support Andhra or Telangana based on where we come from. Not sure how many really think of why the demand for separate state has been there for such a long time. The 2 major reasons why the demand has been pending for so many years is WATER AND HYDERBAD. People around the state have earned and invested in and around Hyderabad so there is a concerns about the safety of the investment if the state is separated while both the major rivers in our state flow mostly through Telangana. Below are some facts that are few reasons for the demand. Sentiments can be foolish but not facts.

a. There are 10 districts in Telangana, 9 in Andhra and 4 in Rayalaseema. Out of these 7 districts in Telangana, 3 in Andhra and 1 in Rayalaseema are considered severely backward districts which means 70% of districts in Telangana are backward while in Andhra it is 35% and in Rayalaseema it is 25%. Apart from these there are some areas in all parts of the state which are also backward.

b. 45% of the state income comes from Telangana region. When it comes to utilization of funds, the share of Telangana is only 28%.

c. Normally canals are dug to supply water to the crops from rivers for cultivation. The amount of land cultivated through canals in just Guntur district is more than the land cultivated with canals in entire Telangana region.

d. Nagarjuna sagar dam is built in Nalgonda district which is in Telangana but majority of the water from the dam is used for Krishna and Guntur district. The original dam was supposed to be build much ahead of its present location but the location was changed so that it falls in the Telangana region. Due to the construction of the dam several hectares of Lime stone mines vanished as part of the dam back waters. Everyone know that lime stone is used for producing cement. Even the natural resources were not allowed to remain.

e. Fluorinated water problem is only in Nalgonda district which has not been resolved since decades.

f. Two major rivers Krishna and Tungabhadra enter the state of AP in the district of Mahaboobnagar(the biggest district in Telangana) but the district always remains the worst draught hit areas along with Anantapur because there is no project and process with which the water can be utilized. The plans for utilization has been pending for decades.

g. RDS (Rajolibanda Diversion Scheme) is build in Mahaboobnagar to provide water to 85000 hectares of land in the district. The leaders of Rayalaseems blasted the gates of RDS and water is supplied to KC (Kurnool-Cudapah) canal while only remaining water, if any, is supplied to the lands in Mahaboobnagar.

h. 3 TMC of water from Gandipet is sufficient to supply drinking water to our city. Every year 1700 TMC of water is wasted and is flown into Bay of Bengal from river Godavari. Starting from Nizambad to Bay of Bengal there is no project allowed to build on Godavari. If it is built leaders in Godavari districts fear that the fertile lands in the area may fall short of water. If the Godavari water is utilized properly, there will be no scarcity for food grains in our state.

i. In Telangana regions, only few areas cultivate one crop a year and very rarely two crops a year while most of the land doesn’t even cultivate single crop. In both the Godavari districts, Krishna and Guntur district, two crops a year is common and there are times where even 3 crops a year are cultivated. The only reason is WATER.

j. Government issue G.O.’s for implicating its decisions. G.O number 610 is the longest non implicated G.O in the history of AP. The G.O was issued in 1986 by late NTR who was then the CM of AP, which is not yet implicated. The G.O speaks about the share of Telangana employees in Government jobs in Telangana region.

k. 33% of the population in Mahaboobnagar district have left the district for livelihood to different parts of the state due to draught and majority of them are working as daily labour. No other district has so many people who fled the home place due to lack of livelihood and working as daily labour.
l. There are 25 plus government degree colleges in Krishna, Kadapa and Guntur district while there is not even a single government degree college in Ranga Reddy district.

m. Dairy development corporation of AP purchases milk from farmers across the state for distribution. For the same milk, in Andhra, the government pay Rs. 24 to the farmers and in Telangana they pay Rs. 22 per litre. Partiality is shown even in milk J

n. In between 2005-2008 government sold lands worth Rs. 20000 crores in and around Hyderabad which was utilized to build projects in Rayalaseema and Andhra.

o. Not even a single project was completed in Telangana in the last 5 years while several projects were completed in Andhra and Rayalaseema.

Not just Telangana but areas of Northern Andhra, Prakasham and parts of Rayalaseema are still backward. The state needs to progress as a unit. People are suffering across the state and they need a solution.
Nobody wants a split in the state but when the people of one region are constantly humiliated and denied of what they should be getting, such demands keep coming. Let us show maturity in understanding social problems keeping aside the sentiments.
Spend some time reading this attached file to know why need a separate state Telangana..
