Telangana sentiment vs United Telugu argument

the insecure politicians are responsible for the present mess in the state.
But whenever the T sentiment is expressed it is immediately killed by the "United Telugu" sentiment created by the "Andhra" people who either have the vested interest in Hyderabad or feel insecure in "Telangana Hyderabad" or do not understand the sentiment of the underdeveloped Telangana people.
Telangana people are not asking for a separate country!!
They are not against against anybody marrying anybody!!!
There are thousands of Telugus who have relationships with Marathi,Kannada,Tamil,Malayali,Hindi and Bengali people.Then why cant all of them live together peacefully in unfragemented INDIA without any state in it?
Why there are as many as 8 states (Himachal Pradesh,Uttaranchal,Haryana,UP,Bihar,Jharkhand,MP,Chattisgarh) in Hindi speaking areas ?? They all can live peacefully in one HINDI Pradesh!!(That wiould be the strongest in parliament too)
Why more than 10 states are formed after 1969 (first T-movement) ??
Should only non Hindi language speaking people like Telugus or Kannadigas uphold the "Linguistic integrity" ?
When every politician of AP is having huge personal investments in Banguluru ,why are they afraid of investing in Telangan-Hyderabad !!!!
Telangana people supported Andhra settlers as MLAs and Ministers.
Andhrites claim the credit for development of Hyderabad. We Telugu speaking people live peacefully harmoniously where ever we are.We Telugu speaking people (even from Karnataka)l to move in a bunch (often blamed of not mingling with other linguistic groups) in Delhi,DehraDun ,Mussorie or New York. How does it matter if we have two states!!
Yesterday it was MCH(Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad) and today it is GHMC(Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation)- did we feel any difference?
Tomarrow if Hyderabd is the capitol of Telangana state and Vizag or Kurnool is the capitol of Andhra ,it does not make any difference to you and me or for that matter to the Linguistic integrity of Telugus !
Why should political demarcation of administrative units like district,state waste so much of Human energy !!
If I have tooth- ache,I should go to the doctor and take medicine. Doctor need not consult my brother to cure my tooth-ache. If people of Telangana feel aggrieved of the administrative boundaries - they should be asked to express it by plebicite or referendum. Other regions need not be consulted for this purpose. If Constitutional amendment is required it should be done to provide for it.
Presnt day politicians are trying to draw political millage by championing their respective regional sentiment . We should remain united in spite of splitting of the state,should it happen!

YSR Memorial in Nallamala


The untimely demise of Chief Minister Y SRajasekhara Reddy was a sad event. I am not mourning though but the death of a leader do cause some unstability and what follows is a row of hasty and emotional decisions that sometimes go out of the boundary.> Yes, I’m talking about the AP’s government decision of erecting an YSR memorial at the crash site in Nallamala forests which unfortunately falls under restricted site.> > The state Tourism minister Mrs.J Geetha Reddy announced that the crash site at Pavurallagutta would be developed into a major tourist spot. Since the mishap site is close to Byrluti range in Chintagundam in Atmakur division — a core area in the Nallamala forests — any construction, including roads, is banned as per the 1972 Wildlife Act. Did our honourable minister minister not knew this or was he showing that minister’s are above law? Anything can be moulded and bend for them. Is that it?> Do they not feel any sense of responsibility while on the move? Their speech and action, all negate their very Karma for which they are chosen. Every other day, they remind us of their foolishness. You just can’t ignore them.> They could have done a better job in resurecting the honourable minister than just erecting a memorial for him. But its needless to point out now what they could have done?
The Hon'ble Supreme Court had put a ban on all the activities in the Protected areas(National parks and Sanctuaries)with reference to the WP(C) of 1995. For undertaking any nonforest activity one needs to take permission from National Boards of Wild Life and Then Supreme Court and finally from MOEF.
The Moef now a days is not inclined to permit any activity in the Tiger Reserves. With all these I really donot think any body will be permitted to do any such thing as developing a memorial in Paurala Gutta which will have very high ly adverse impact on the wild life. Instead it will be more appropriate for the State tourism Deprtament or State govt to think interms of Naming the entire Nallamal Forest as "YSR National Park" and develop it as the model tiger reserve with a prestine undisturbed wild life intact.

Mineral Water for rural masses

I think providing safe drinking water is the prime responsibility of the state. Recent decision of Goverment of AP ,India to provide safe drinking (bottled mineral )water to all villages is yet another laudable scheme after offering Rice @Rs.2/KG to the poeple below poverty line. India spending a paltry 1.4% of it's GDP which is far below even Bangladesh and China(3.4%) and US(14%) and Sweden(27%) !!!????.
Now a days when we go from Hyderabad to our old villages in AP we are necessarily required to carry drinking water as our immune system does not have enough defence against the E.coli strains of rural water sources. I am sure so many highly mobile rural people around the urban conglomerations who run around for their livelihood have similar immune systems.
