చూడు తెలంగాణా చుక్క నీళ్ళు లేని దానా
నా గోడు తెలంగాణా బ్రతుకు పాడైన వీణ
నా గోడు తెలంగాణా బ్రతుకు పాడైన వీణ
What is the necessity of a new state ?
And what factors led to the strong protests from the Telangana people for a new state ?
Well, there are many reasons why the people demand a separate state. They were downtrodden for decades by the corrupt politicians of Andhra pradesh. No politician seriously considered the development of this region under any government.
The people in this region were suppressed for ages.
They were not given priority in jobs, resources and establishment.
The Telangana region is severely lacking in development, when compared with Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. There are plenty of water resources available in Telangana, but no government developed this region.
The people of Telangana region have now realised the need for a separate state, as a separate state for them can make the development in their personal lives. They primarily demand jobs and authority in their region and that is best possible with the grant of a new state. Many of us think that they are not able to coexist with the people from Andhra here, but that is not true. Telangana people are very co-operative and friendly than Andhra people. They are just not able to digest the fact that our society is dominated by Andhra people and politicians. They are not given equal opportunities with the Andhra people.
Look at any of the streets or the local buses of Telangana. You can find many dull and depressed faces of youth. Look into their eyes. They are lacking happiness. They look depressed. How can their faces glow? They are jobless, so hopeless and also not getting married. Without jobs, the youth are turning into thieves for the sake of money. Many of them are suffering from Inferiority complex. This is not good for the economy and security of India in the long run. A majority of the government jobs are shared among the Andhra and Rayalaseema people and a lot of partiality is shown towards the Telangana people in the government sector. And a very less percent of them work in the IT sector, hardly 5%. (Ofcourse, the talent also plays a major role in getting a job).
The Telangana people are not devoid of cultural activities, but they are not encouraged by the government. They do not have a recognised dance like kuchipudi for Andhra people, and their language and slang are quiet different from the andhra people, but it is not recognised as a separate language.
The movies released in Andhra do not contain Telangana people in major roles. There is no movie where we can find an actor, actress, music director, lyricist and the director, all from Telangana region. But we can easily find a villain from Telangana region in movies. It does not mean that Telangana people are not talented, but they are not given opportunities and not encouraged. They remain backwards in all fields of cinema industry. All the top heroes in AP today including Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu are from Andhra. Can you find any top star from Telangana? The media in AP is completely dominated by Andhra people. Look at any telugu news channel... you cant find any anchor from Telangana!
If you see any reality show (be it a singing competition or a dance show) in a telugu channel, you must have noticed that most of the child participants are from Andhra. Where are Telangana children? Dont they know music or dance? Cant they sing? Then, why are they not participating? Look at the daily serials on telugu channels. Almost 95% of them portray the stories of families belonging to Andhra region. Ofcourse the Telangana people does not watch the tv serials as much as Andhra people. But it does not mean that they dont have any sentiments, right?
Education is another factor that needs to be spread among the people in this region. Especially the rural people and women are lacking in education (even Sexual education, Yoga and Cooking). Most people are educated only till their school age (in telugu medium) and they are not aware of the modern day education and cant speak english well. Look at the EAMCET and Medical ranks every year and we find almost everyone in the top 10 ranks from the Andhra region . The fact is that the Telangana people are severely lacking in communication skills (soft skills) and english, and so they are not able to compete with Andhra people in the jobs. In Government or IT jobs, they are easily overtaken by Andhra people. The youth of Telangana need to improve a lot in personality development, as they are suffering from Inferiority Complex. Most of them are restricted to a small private business like a shopkeeper or a road side fruit seller, after their education. What a pity! Without a good job and salary, the Telangana people (esp. youth) are depressed about their future.
Hence there is a huge need for the separate state of Telangana. It is not just about a demand for a new area for its people, but a demand for new recognition and development for its people.
Hope the UPA government takes a positive decision towards Telangana in the coming days.
