Telangana Supporters aka Fanatics!

Before i write any further, i want to clearly say what do i mean by Fanatic. A Fanatic is, "someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject". I completely respect the learned scholars, professors and leaders from Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh. In the past one year, i have read numerous blogs, websites and have had heated discussions with many of my friends and colleagues.

My close friend who is taking part in Telangana Movement says, "We either get Telangana or we cut throats of people who comes in between". I am sure it is only symbolic and definitely he does not mean what he said. However, in the current scenario of people agitating about the statehood of Telangana, people are more or less threatened and scared rather than peaceful negotiations and compromises.

Some of the common patterns of the information all the blogs and websites use are as below.
  • Teangana people are fighting for independence from past 60 years
  • Andhra (Rayalaseema and Kostha) people have looted all our development by taking away Jobs, Water and Power/Electricity
  • None of the agreements made till now are in effective
  • Farmers are dying and normal people are suffering because of Andhra People
  • All our Jobs have been taken over by Andhra People
  • None of the politician will do good for the Telangana. Till data no one has ever done anything.
  • Hyderabad has not developed at all. It was in the same state as Nizams left.
  • Politicians have diverted all the funds to Andhra/Rayalaseema/Kosta region.
All in all, all of the above points that these people talk about are very "ABSTRACT". With that i mean that many of the blogs convey self-pity, oppression from Andhra people and they all deny the fact that Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh has developed.

All these blogs and websites have one simple target that the fellow Telangana people should feel bad about their own condition and get inspired to join the movement. Of course, this is a very good usage of the Media. When i closely look at it they have used every possible channel very effectively.
  • Internet
  • --Web Sites
  • --Blogs
  • --Facebook
  • --YouTube
  • --Google Videos
  • --PGP - for secret communication
  • Story tellers at Villeges
  • Poetry/Poets at Villeges and Towns
  • Teachers at Schools
  • Professors at Colleges
  • NRTs (Non Resident Telangana people)
No wonder that the students from Osmania University were brain washed so much that they just don't want to listen to anyone. KCR is from Osmania University where he has been greatly influencing the students. Also, Telangana Leaders and Intellectuals are very successful in changing the minds of the people that Andhra People are hindrance for their development and the only way they get liberated is "Telangana State".

Unfortunately in all the blogs and websites, there is only one side of the story that is written. The problem is we try to stick on to a Subjective issue and talk hours and hours on that. Also, in the subjective matters, you can neither win nor loose an argument. Let me clarify what i mean by that. If you say "I need 10 rupees" everyone knows what you need "MONEY" and how much you need, "10 units". But if you say, "I need a lot of something", what can someone understand from that ? This single question has TWO sub problems to it. How much is a "LOT" and what is that "SOMETHING". This is what some of the Telangana-Activists say about the development in Telangana region.

No one from the Telanagana activists talk about the actual numbers. This is quite unfortunate. of course, coming up with numbers is difficult for any one except for the Local Leaders, State and Central Government. What does it mean when i say by coming up with numbers ?

You need to compare the following items from the Nizams time (because they say there is no development since then) and NOW in 2009.
  • # of Elementary Schools
  • # of Primary Schools
  • # of Degree Colleges
  • # of Engineering Colleges
  • # of Hospitals
  • # of Irrigation Projects
  • # of Canals for Irrigation
  • # of Local Roads and Highways Built
  • # of Railway Stations
  • # of Buses
  • # of Jobs Created in Rural and Urban Areas
  • # of Industries (Electrical, Electronics, IT, BPO, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Chemical, Textile, etc...) in Rural and Urban Areas
  • # of people Abroad (if people's development was suppressed, no one should have gone abroad)
  • # of Courts
  • # of Police Stations
  • # of Drainage Systems
  • # of Villages to get Electricity
I you ask the above questions, they change the stand saying that, "We have developed but not as good as Andhra people". Well, what does that really mean to me ? Just because you have not developed and you could not influence, you say that i am a Bad Andhra Person, who hampered the development of their own people.

I have seen several videos, in which they show the interiors of Telangana with dry lands, people trying hard for the water, farmers are looking into the sky for rains and all sorts of those things. But these people should see the other side of Coin. They are only seeing "Tails", if you see "Heads", you will know how the interiors of Anantapur, Prakasam and Srikakulam districts are. We can probably make better videos than what they showed in Telangana regions. Again, you can focus on a small region's problem and magnify it 100000 times to show that Telangana region is not developed. But this claim should be supported by STATISTICAL DATA and not by saying, "We got fed up with the government and we need Telangana NOW".

Before i close, The development of the Telangana should not be looked at the sole lack of funds. What did the Politicians do till now ? Telangana Leaders also take the advantage of the %ges whenever they can. They take the Telangana and Andhra regions and say the representation is around 40:60 so, we are not powerful. In the other occasions they will split the Andhra Region to Andhra, Rayalaseema and Kosta for their advantage.

Andhra region people have been focusing on the studies and business for a long time - even before the Andhra Pradesh is formed. Now, is it our mistake that more number of people are highly educated (in Andhra, Rayalaseema and Kosta areas) and get into the Public and Private sectors compared to Telangana people ?

Telangana (and other districts in Andhra region) by the natural geography are on the higher elevation than the delta regions like Gunter and Krishna. Naturally, it is easy for anyone to have good crops and productivity and also for the Irrigation. Till date, i know that many of the mandals in Prakasam district have problems with the water and they don't even have ONE CROP/ Year. So, they resort to the Eucalyptus trees which yields once in every 3 years. Are they supposed to do the same agitation as Telangana region people ? This is the reason that in Andhra also, we have 2 completely different regions of Krishna and Guntur delta which is very fertile and others are barely making it. And who does not know about the Kudapa, Kurnool and Nandyal dry lands ?

Again, i would like to appeal/request/plead to all Telangana-Supporters that "No one is against Telangana State". We need the FACTS and FIGURES to know that there has been Oppression, Repression, Looting, Unethical Practices and In appropriate diversion of Funds and others. This helps is to know Why you want separate State, Why you have so much of hatred towards Andhra People and finally, WE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OUR OWN POLITICIANS AND BUSINESS PEOPLE, IF THEY DID SOMETHING BAD.

Some of the Resources that you should checkout to see how they popularized the Telangana Movement.

Aren't Telangana Leaders Opportunistic ?

The same KCR, the same Harish Rao and the same Damodar Reddy were angry that the fact that "Italian Sonia" is opportunistic and she will twist the words. They did several protests and set the Sonia effigy on fire.

Well... the moment Chidambaram announced that the "Process of formation of separate state of Telangana will be and an appropirate resolution will be introduced in Assembly". Our Fanatic-Foolish-Lunatic KCR thought that it is better to break the - already broken fast - fast and get into the people. It is such a wonder that this guy continued the fasting even after he was given intravenous (full of vitamins and essential nutrients) for 11 days.

After the Chidambaram's announcement on December 6th, TRS and Congress is all praise for Sonia and Congress saying that "Congress once said will not take back the word". What a shame, these are the same set of people, who criticized and hated Sonia, started saying that "Sonia is a nice person who always knew what is to be done for Telangana".

Once Chidambaram again announced on the December 23rd afternoon, these guys again started flipping the stand on these people. Well, they say, Congress is always known for betraying Telangana People and we should never trust Congress. They again, started setting the Sonia's effigy on fire and blaming Congress for every thing.

With that... these are the leaders who should answer the questions "Who is an Opportunist" ?

Telugu Television : A provocative gaint!

Television Journalism is the discipline of collecting, analyzing, verifying and presenting information regarding current events, trends, issues and people. Unfortunately today's media, Television seems to be doing a lot bad for the people rather than good. One may ask, Why we want to talk about the Television. Well, it is the media that most of Andhra Pradesh's people get to the latest happenings from television Media. That is the only media where the news is instant to the viewer (of course nothing beats Twitter though)! We are sure that this TV phenomenon is not special to Andhra, it is the world wide phenomenon that many depend on TV for the daily/hourly/minute wise news and activities in local, statewide, nationwide and international arena.

The major Telugu TV channels seems to be TV9, ETV2, i News, TV5 and NTV. There seems to be other channels but their news viewership seems be small. Of course, the objective of the article is not to talk about the origins of these telugu channels or the money behind each of them; but to discuss the "Ethical Standards".

Especially in the current day, i feel a lot sad and furious about the ethical standards and double standards of these channels. Following are the reasons why i say... "These TV Channels has made the Telangana issue a BIG DEAL". Telanagana issue is a Fanatic, Furious, Violence and Undemocratic way of dealing with the "Wanting a new Stateehood". Again, no one is against the sentiments or feelings of people in Telangana. It is the Political Leaders and SOME of the FANATICS from Telanagana who is the cause for all this hi-tension-melo-drama in Andhra Pradesh!.

Example 1 : The TV news reader asks the TV reporter in the field, "Do you think the situation there is OK, Bad, Worse or Lot of Violence ?". Now for me the question is why should these so called News Reporters LEAD the situation. This gives an impression to the viewer that something "WRONG or SPECIAL or BAD SITUATION". Sure that this kind of "talk" would get them more viewership, but don't you have any responsibility in the way you present and/or gather the facts.

Example 2 : The TV analyst will ask for a discussion he will call ABC and XYZ to the channel office. The way these people (ABC and XYZ) are selected is they will be from opposite parties or someone with a totally different views. Now, this Analyst will take all the allegations from ABC and add masala to it and then ask what the XYZ feel about this view. This leads to a very heated up discussion between the ABC, XYZ and the Analyst will be taking the sadistic pleasure of seeing this fight!

Example 3 : Inappropriate usage of the stage. They will call 2 people to the Channel News Room and there will be a person on the phone line. Now, the unfortunate thing is the one on the phone line does not get to speak what he wants. The mere advantage that people are in studio, they can connect with Analyst or the Viewers very easily than the one of the Phone line. These analysts can also stop them over the phone line and continue discussion on the studio. This makes it a complete uneven platform for the people to express their opinions.

Example 4 : Just because you are a news channel does not mean you can ask any tom, dick and harry for the views. In the recent riots in Andhra Pradesh most of the channels would go and people on the road, "What do you think about the situation" or "Do you want this separation of State". The problem with these kind of things is that, many people they are asking is just random and probably not politically oriented people. It is like you are asking views of a Movie Celebrity about the Nano technology used in the Mars Mission ? Wow... can you imagine how their faces would look like ?

Of course, that does not mean that the common mans opinion is not important. I am trying to bring the point that we nee to clearly distinguish between the "serious news reporting" and "opinion polls". With 10 years of intense training from Poets, Literature, Schools, Colleges and Politicians, Telanagana people will be able to say why they need Telangana; But Andhra People has no reason to separate the state. So, in short, know the people you are asking and their backgrounds.

Example 5 : Interpretation of the News. When the news Analysts and Reporters are talking about a thing, it has become a great fashion to "Magnifying, Provoking, Twisting and Interpreting" the news that they have. I really mean this. Please pay attention to the actual incident and how these Reporters and Analysts talk about it. It's like the end of the world for them.

Once a news from the State, Center or from any Leader, the first thing the TV Channels will try to do is to make it an ISSUE. Please understand that there a difference between the NEWS and ISSUE. A news is some thing that you would just hear about something and probably you forget. But for these TV Channels, it is not the NEWS that gets them the viewership but it is the ISSUE that gets the more viewership.

In the above context, when someone releases a statement, TV Channels try to take sides and ask each and everyone if this is in their FAVOR or If they feel CHEATED or If they are BETRAYED ? For us the question is WHY should these TV Channels do this cheap trick of provoking people by playing with their sentiments ?.

Our Final Request : Now-a-days media has a STRONG role in the way news spreads across the nation and world. Please be aware that as a GOOD TV Channel, you have the responsibility to FILTER the news, Analyze it and show it to the public. My friends in US and UK say that the media completely discriminates the news and has government regulated filters on what they can and cant show. If there is a news that MAY provoke people, it is NOT aired.

Please take the role of a Pacifier rather than Adding Fuel to the fire.

Telangana Movement is a well thought out one!

Are you surprised that there are 1000s of web sites that talk about Telangana problems and spread a lot of hatred towards Andhra people ? There are Professors, NRIs, Students and Professionals who have been providing a lot of support for Telangana Literature, Songs, Movies, and Short stories. Many of Professionals, Students and kids are brain washed and trained to silently fight for Telangana.

Can you ever believe that you own Friend, Neighbor, Professor or Boss could be hating you because you are form Andhra reginon ? Till now, we never consciously see these differences, but it looks like this is going to happen in future!

Please see some of the following blogs and videos. You will know how some of these people who commented says that "They are ready to kill whoever comes into formation of Telangana". What a pity ? You don't have freedom to live in your own country and your own place.

This Wiki page says that Telangana is already formed.

10 questions that everyone should ask KCR!

This is a open letter to KCR and we would appreciate if any of the Media can take this further and discuss with KCR. KCR seems to be really fighting too hard for the so called "liberation" of Telangana from Andhra people. Not sure, if REAL PEOPLE of Telangana really feels so. We ask so many of our friends who are from various Villages, Towns and Cities of Telangana and ALL feel that it is orchestrated by KCR to get the political prominence. Till now, previous Cheif Ministers of Andhra Pradesh were successful to either Confront or Rebuke KCR. Unfortunately, our current CM, Sri.K Rosaiah is merely a puppet in the hands of Italian-turned-Indian Mrs.Sonia Ghandhi.

However, instead of talking about the "BAD" past, we would like to talk some "sense". If anyone can talk to KCR and all people who wants Telangana to see what they say about following points, that would be great! We are sure this will help all of us to have a clarity on the strategy "If we need to divide" and also "Why we should we divide".

If any of Paper Media or TV Channel can take these questions to KCR and have a public meet, it would be of great help for entire Andhra Pradesh to understand KCR better. Who knows, if Andhra people are really doing bad for Telangana, then Andhra people will stop these "Samaikhya Andhra" processions.

Pretext 1
: KCR accuses Andhra politicians that during past 60 years of time, Telangana did not develop.

Question 1 : Instead of just saying that it did not develop, can we have some hard figures from Government ? This means Compare the situation in 1960 and in 2009. Get the number of Schools, Degree Colleges, Engineering Colleges, Primary Health Care Centers, Business Units, RTC/Roads, Railways, Telephones, Power/Electricity, Water, Public Distribution Systems and others. Compare this data with Andhra, Telangana, Rayalaseema and Kostha.

Pretext 2 : KCR says Hyderabad has not developed in the past 60 years.

Question 2 : Movie Industry, Information Technology, Bio Technology, Medi Care, Textile Industries, Cottage Industries, Tourism Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Education, Chemical, Electrical and Electronics are some of the prominent industries in and around Hyderabad. Did the same thing existed 60 years before ? Does KCR know how many Software/IT companies exist in Hyderabad ? There are almost 100 known and famous companies and thousands of small IT companies.

Question 3 : Once the infrastructure is developed, it is easy to say, whats the big deal ? But it takes a HUGE effort and patience to establish infrastructure. World class International Airport, American Consulate, better Roads, High Tech City, e-Governance, e-Seva, Ramoji Film City, NTR Gardens, Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket stadium, G.M.C. Balayogi Athletic Stadium, Swarnandhra Pradesh Sports Complex, Kotla Vijay Bhaskar Reddy Indoor Stadium, Ravindra Bharati, International School of Business, International Institute of Information Technology, BITS Pilani Campus, DRDL, DRDO, DERL, PV Narasimha Rao Express Highway, MMTS, Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station and many others are examples of infrastructure development. Again, are these things developed in a single year ? No, it takes few decades to develop all these. If this is the case, what does KCR talk about ?

Question 4 : What did KCR do for Telangana till now ? Can he list TOP 10 thing he did for Telangana ? He has been Deputy Speaker, cabinet Minister and also a Parliament member. What did KCR do all these years ? Did he mint money to later spend this on becoming a CM ?

Pretext 3 : Andhra People have been harassing, assaulting and not giving us the equal opportunity field level for Telangana people.

Question 5 : Why now ? Sure, even for the argument sake, we consider that Andhra people are harassing Telangna people. Why did KCR/TRS did not complain all these years ? He could have raised this issue in Assembly, Parliament and in many other occasions. Why did no other party including Congress, TDP, TRS and BJP raised any voice against the government ?

Question 6 : How did the previous Cheif Ministers like Dr.Burgula Ramakrishna Rao, Damodaram Sanjivayya, Pamulaparthi Venkata Narasimha Rao, Jalagam Vengala Rao, Tanguturi Anjaiah, Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy and Marri Chenna Reddy are from telangana Area ? Why did Andhra Pradesh leaders let these people become CMs ?

Question 7 : Did the previous Telangana CMs do any better to Telangana ? If not, why did any of the leaders question at the development that time ? or Does this need to be understood as all these CMs just minted money for them selves and did not spend money on public works ?

Pretext 4 : KCR says, "Once we have our own state, we will develop it further and far better than Andhra Leaders".

Question 8 : Does KCR have any future plan how to govern ? Does he have a plan to improve industries, jobs and how to procure funds from government.

Question 9 : How is it warranted that becoming a new state would improve the Jobs and other "under developed" (as said by KCR) things in Telangana. How is i warranted that there will not be any fights between TRS, TDP and Congress for the CM post ? In that case does TRS merge into Congress ???

Question 10 : If people really believes in TRS and about separate Telangana, why did not people vote for TRS in the last elections ? 10/40 is a shame for any party and party leader who talks about separate state. If it is not for publicity and power, is there any other reason that he raised his filthy voice after the death of Dr.Rajashekar Reddy ?

Who cares for the Indian National Interest ?

One of the Oldest parties in India Congress and the recent BJP seems to be worried about the future and their strategies in each state. After Sri.Atal Bihari Vajpayee retired from Active politics, BJP seems to start fighting for the leadership and to figure out the strategies. He did quite good as the opposition leaders and critique of the ruling party. BJP also did good in some of the states in the north. They barely have a presence in south except Karnataka. The only (so called) leaders that we see from Andhra Pradesh are Sri. Bandaru Dattatreya and Sri.Venkayya Naidu. Sure that they have many challenges to strenghten the party at home.

In the recent Andhra Pradesh crisis, TRS came out to do so called liberation of Telangana people. In the event that everyone (including people, students, politicians, doctors, lawyers, business people, railway employees, RTC employees and others ) is requesting, pleading, begging for United Andhra Pradesh, BJP is one of the party that wants to split the Andhra Pradesh. Why ? Pretty simple rule, right... "Divide and Rule". They may be thinking that the split will at least bring them the Good Luck.

Indian National Congress is another very old party established in 1885 with the idealogy as "Social Democracy". Currently this party is lead by Italian-turned-Indian Mrs.Sonia Gandhi. Just the time everyone is satisfied and/or forming good opinions about the Indian National Congress, Sonia madam does the blunder of her life time. She really got overwhelmed on her Birthday probably. With out discussing the Andhra Pradesh split in State Assembly or Parlimant, she takes an autocratic decision to start the state separation process. Mr. Chidambaram announces it as though he did a big favor to Andhra Pradesh. What a movie plot right ?

So, how does National Congress benifit by this split. OK, that sounds to be very simple but hidden advantage. Andhra Pradesh has around 296 aseembly seats and Congress in its latest 2009 elections has won 158 seats and the rest of the major seats are divided between Telugudesam and PRP.
  • Splitting the state means, smaller parties will be gone or merged with major parties. In the Telangana state congress would see Congress as the major party and there are major chances that TRS will merge into Congress.
  • Andhra Pradesh has majority of representation in Parliment and till now, Mrs.Sonia or Prime Minister had some hard time to convince in some of the budgetery and operational issues. There are occasions that Sri.Rajashekar Reddy even took independant decisions in state.
  • Mrs.Sonia definitely knew that either Sri.Rajashekar Reddy or Mr.Jagan (his son) will pose a huge threat for their "Decision Supremacy". So, there was no way Mr.Jagan could become the CM.
  • Once Andhra Pradesh is split, the power of 296 Assdembly seats, 18 in the Rajya Sabha and 42 in the Lok Sabha is DEEMED to cease. That means, the state of Telangana and Andhra both are at the mercy of center for every thing.
  • Now the Center has to deal with two major powerful states in south india and after Split, it will only be Tamil Nadu. No wonder Mr.Chidambaram is so happy to declare startup process for the separate state.
  • Mr.Rahul Gandhi strategically travelling around the India and meeting all classes of people to know about their lives and problems. Splitting the states to smaller where Congress have major stakes, makes smaller states obligated to Center. That paves the way to elect Rahul as Prime Minister for the next time.
In the pre-independence era, we felt sad about the English (Britishers) that they used the "Divide and Rule", but now that's the same thing happening to India, Andhra Pradesh. Please be aware of this split and ACT.

KCR : The worst politician in world history

K Chandrashekhara Rao, the dummy activist of dummiest TRS party has once again proved that he is the most dumb and cheating politician the world has ever seen. As for now, Telangana people, Telangana activists…for that matter whole Telugu community has been cheated by this worthless politician, say many Telangana people with their burning stomachs.

kcr knew well in advance that he will be arrested before reaching Siddipet for “fast-unto-death.” Even then it was his plan to get arrested and surrendered before police without a protest. Later kcr knew that there will be violence in many areas and few may loose their lives. Still he dared for that plan and killed nearly 4 Telangana citizens. To make the things more intense, his acting near Khammam sub jail bursting into tears still made the Osmania and Kakatiya Universities to go on further rampage.

Next kcr knew that he will be getting weaker with passage of at least 2 days of fasting and Police along with Doctors will administer him saline and fruit juices. But, this weaker “sannasi” surrendered below 36 hours and happily accepted saline and demanded fruit juice from Government officials. Where was the protest from this kcr?

The only result from this so called movie “fast-unto-death” with kcr as hero and starring Harish Rao, Nayani Narasimha Reddy, KTR, Eetela Rajender and others as side heroes along with Padma Devnder, Kavitha and many others as side heroines was a biggest flop Telangana has ever seen.

Prakash Rao of TVS has correctly commented that, kcr’s drama of “fast-unto-death” with the motive of raising the TRS party’s position will not help kcr or TRS in any way. Instead this move by kcr has further damaged the credibility of TRS party and sidelined the Telangana issue.

Now, Andhra settlers in Telangana region have every possibility of laughing at incapable kcr and Telangana Rashtra Samithi. Already media started to propagate the issue of separate statehood of Telangana as a dead issue.

Harish Rao looked to be a fine actor with bright future. On conversation with media at Khammam, this Engineering graduate MLA expressed his opinion that kcr after discharging from the hospital will pave the future plan for Telanagana.

Hahahahaha…Doctor’s laughed near by…because they don’t find any necessity of kcr to stay further more in hospital. Shooting has been already completed, what they need is just to pack up and reach Banjara Hills residence. By the by, there is no necessity for any future plan on this Telangana issue by drama artists like kcr because even students and student unions may not be in a position lo loose their lives for the sake of worthless politicians.

Finally a single question: Who will now be held responsible for the deaths of nearly 4 young students? Who will be responsible for the death of a young advocate in Hyderabad? Who will be responsible for the severe blows faced by student unions in Osmania, Kakatiya, Telangana, Satavahana and Palamuru universities? At least it forms his basic duty for kcr and TRS to answer these questions.
