Hi
Have come to blog after quite sometime. This time its about my feelings on the Telugana issue. It has been going on for quite a long time and now reached the peak. After MP/UP its now AP which is in the process of bifurcation. I am not sure if it will happen or not, But I sincerely pray it does not happen. It pains to see Our Country in blood sheds. Today its AP, tomorrow this may happen to Tamilnadu, Karnataka and almost whole of India. I have heard one of my friend who hails from Andhra, say that the Telugana part of Andhra is always the sick man of AP and is not a part of the creamy and fertile AP. They say they have been rejected by almost all political parties, and the places in the issue don't even have any basic amenities such as Roads, Full time electricity, proper Hospitals and so on. The orientation of this place is mainly based on the older Nizam days and many people here speak more of Urdu based Hindi than Telugu, which is supposed to be the official language of AP. She holds a strong opinion that bifurcation should happen. If these are the reasons, and if the people of Telugana are of the strong opinion that they are neglected, can't that be set right by the Politicians. Is bifurcating a solution. The riots that are happening, the blood shed, burning of effigies, disrupting traffic all these acts are barbaric and shameful. The whole world is watching, and mocking at us. I at times feel, India would have been better if British had continued ruling us. They would have been much better than all our corrupt politicians. Its disgraceful on the part of politicians, who are all having their own time at the cost of thousands of public. The film fraternity of AP (Tollywood) choose to keep silent on this issue. Andhra people love to listen to what their film heroes say, and they actually worship them. In this particular issue almost all the heroes have choosen to keep totally mum. I remember while we were studying, in our English text there was a chapter about Hunger strike, a form of Satyagraha, Mahatma Gandhi performed at South Africa, and while giving his opinion about the ways of Mahatma, fighting without shedding blood, Rajaji told Gandhiji that the Satyagraha, a weapon taken by Gandhi, would also become a bad precedent at a later date. This was the reason Rajaji was called "Deergadarshi" meaning a man who can see the distant future. I sincerely hope that if this reaches atleast a few who share my feeling, they would also join me in praying for peace and tranquility in India.

With all due respect, how can you think that we'd have been better off under the British? Remember it was the British who sowed the seeds of these divisions with the partition of Bengal in 1905. Their policy of 'divide and rule' led on to so many problems that we are yet to find solutions to.
Dear Harish
Thanks for the immediate response.
I totally accept that the British divided Bengal in 1905. But even before that also we were not united. It was the reason why aggresion was possible for Qutbutin and Babar. I am surely not for British Rule, but in today's scenerio, I am deeply hurt for the Divide and Rule Policy is being followed by our own Politicians. Also, the divide and rule policy of the British, was instrumental in forming of United India, which is now in the hands of ruthless politicians.
