Why do we need a Telangana ????

15 years back, Hyderabad was not anyone’s favourite destination. Its not going to be the one, in today’s scenario.

As much as I can recall, it was Mr. Chandra Babu Naidu who did a lot in order to bring Hyderabad on World’s map. The IT industry and the Pharma biggies along with the reputed national institutes such as IICT, CCMB,UoH,NalsarPro etc all were not very well-known before Naidu’s term as a CM. He did a lot for urban development. Then came (late) Mr. Y.S.R. who won the heart of even the rural people and continued working for Hyderabad’s progress.

But, destiny was not happy with the happiness of Hyderabad and he took away our dear CM, (late) Mr. Y.S.R. from us, leading to a political unrest in AP. Taking advantage of this situation, Mr. KCR  and his party(TRS)/supporters started demanding a separate Telangana State. – Why ?? because they speak Telugu !!! What a funny reason and even more surprising is the participation of Osmania University students. Government is spending so much for a prestigious university so that its students can take Hyderabad’s peace, pride and prosperity in their hands and can play with them ???????

So, can Mr. KCR assure that all telugu speaking people will live inside Telangana OR those living outside Telangana should be and must be send to Telangana ?? Are people speaking other languages not allowed to stay/work/flourish in Telangana ??

If no, then Telangana has to go out of the boundaries of INDIA. Because any Indian can do a job/move from one place to another/study in any state of INDIA as per the rights of a citizen.

If yes, then What is the need of a separate state ?? Is anyone prohibited in today’s AP to speak telugu? I don’t think so. Are there any communal problems which proposed Telangana people are facing, and which would be solved only by formation of a separate state ??? Not at all. Then why do we need a Telangana ????

Dear supporters of separate state Telangana - Please do not make your personal interests bigger than the country. INDIA, AP and of course our Hyderabad have already started losing peace and prosperity. Please try to understand that……..

  • Calling for Bandh is the worst thing, hitting normal life, closing schools and colleges, shops etc affecting their business and affecting the growth of our HUGE IT industry as well as Pharma industry, which contribute a lot to the nation’s progress.
  • Foreign investors are not interested in Hyderabad anymore due to the havoc created by Telangana movement and USA has clearly warned his citizens not to visit Hyderabad in present circumstances. Check it out
  • This will also give an opportunity to the anti-social elements to flourish and act fast amidst the political unrest. and mind everyone – these people will not care whether you are a telugu speaking from Telangana OR from AP OR from any part of India speaking any language…..

I don’t think whatever is going on, is in favour of, even the citizens of proposed Telangana. They might gain a state but they will lose a lot – their brothers and sisters – their peace, prosperity and pride. Such kind of division based on a language speaking community is baseless. If Telangana happens, it will lead to several other telanganas in INDIA which will benefit only the Anti-Indians. So please please do not promote and support it !! ———- A humble request by an INDIAN.
