Disappearing Telangana Culture / Need for revival

Disappearing Telnagna Culture:
A people are known by their Culture. The festivals, the food, the music, arts, crafts and the family dealings, the bond between people, the marriages and customs all define that Culture. While it is natural for the culture to go through some transformation as newer influences and the culture of new immigrants are absorbed
A drastic change of the original inhabitants’ culture shift to that of the immigrants is a risk of the loss of identity of them. The Cinema culture of the immigrants from heretofore Andhra, their foods like Idli-sambar, and major staple of rice, the influence of modern media both written and the Television are further promulgating newer cultures. Absorption of newer cultures isn’t all bad.
The danger of completely coming under the influence of immigrant cultures is that you lose your identity as people. This identity is what brings people together. When that identity is lost, it destroys the cohesiveness of that group or region and in testy times, the group strength becomes reduced and may lead to destruction. That is what is happening in Telangana. Apart from a few minor skirmishes between Hindus aqnd Muslims, by far they lived peacefully respecting each others Customs and at times co-mingling and leading to development of mixed festivals, language, etc.
There is general feeling of disunity among Telangana people and consequently the immigrant populations and their elected leaders by virtue of their majority in assembly are holding hostage a population that is rich in natural resources but isn’t using for self improvement but is being used as a colony. So, there is an urgent need to revive, Telangana culture.
Solution:
Each village Sarpanch must allocate budget for Village celebration of festivals.
Festivals like, Krishnastami, Dasara jambiga, Deepavali and village street lighting and competition among the Vadas(neighborhoods for decorations, etc, Bathukamma, Ganesh festivals, Ekadashi, Eddula Panduga, Bonalu, Village outing into the woods for picnics, Peerila panduga, Bagotham, puranam kathalu, Etc. Political partyism in villages must be abolished to eliminate factionism import, the likes of Seema. The endowments department may allocate funds to villages for the revival of such festivals.
Even if state doesn’t fund them Village may tax each house hold and raise funds through collections from Liquor shops and village businesses, and every one having more than two acres of land, etc. These could include newer ways of introducing old foods like food fair in the village where people cook and serve dishes of their choice, with a common entrance fees. What the Sarpanch needs is a Cultural secretary whose job is to plan such cultural events that involve entire village population (without regard to caste)

77) 1969 - after Jai Telangana movement 'All Party Accord' was formulated, scrapped within 6 months. Than 8-point formula, 5-point formula were announced. then supreme court upheld Mulki rules.

82) Devadula Project, provides water for 5 lakh acres, was promised to be finished in 5 yrs in 2001, yet to begin work. The funniest fact is, Sriram sagar is yet to be completed for last 40 yrs which provides water for just 4 lakh acres. Telangana people are supposed to believe the promise.

83) Two major projects proposed on river Godavari are Ichampally and Polavaram. Ichampally is meant for Telangana and Polavaram for Andhra.The irrigation potential of Polavaram Project would be 6 to 7 times more than the irrigation potential of Ichampally. Ichampally is going to be primarily a power project not a irrigation project !

84) Andhra lands are irrigated by canal irrigation i.e. with tax payer’s money. Andhra farmer pays Rs 200 - 300 per annum as water charges. Telangana lands are irrigated by bore wells, entire cost is on the farmer . Digging, power, bore well, motor, pipes. He struggles with fluctuations in power supplies with irregularities and pathetic power distribution pattern in Telangana.

85) Technological University was actually started in Warangal but was shifted to Hyderabad, Open University was originally Nalgonda district but was later shifted Hyd.

92) Andhra controlled media never highlighted migration of 15 lakh people out of 24lakh population from Mahabubnagar due to draught conditions. T. Anjaiah CM of AP from Telangana region was presented as a buffoon in dailies and cartoons.

93) At the time of merger Andhra leaders persuaded Telangana leaders by offering many safeguards against exploitation. They also passed a Unanimous Resolution’ in November 1955 in Andhra Assembly in support of safeguards and subsequently they put these safeguards in an Agreement on 20th February. 1956 which is known as “Gentlemen’s Agreement”. All are trashed soon after the agreement is signed.

94) Proportional representation says Telangana should get 42% jobs in the Secretariat, but only 9% are working now. How can a people representative, MLA, MLC can get a work done if 91% do not help ?

95) Metro Rail project is being designed dilapidating 5000 shops, 2500 houses,147 schools, 120 hospitals, 60 Temples/Masjid/Churches. Historical monuments will disappear. All shops and complexes throughout Metro rail route are with Seemandhra thugs.

96) 1947 India got Independence. 1948 Indian Army did police action to dethrone Nizam. Hyd state existed from 1949 to 1956. Telangana merged with Andhra against its wishes in1956. Telangana has nothing to do with Potti Sriramulu.

97) Telangana Sayudha Poratam, (Telangana armed struggle) was against Nizam facist rule, 4000 people died - inspired all subsequent land movements in West Bengal, Kerala and Tripura and paved way for formation of Communist governments in those States. This is never acknowledged by Seemandhra rulers so far.

98) Despite 69% Krishna, 79% Godavari flows through Telangana, irrigation cost is Rs.1500/acre. 13% of Krishna, 21% Godavari flows through Andhra irrigation cost is Rs.150/acre.

101) Since 1956 to date, the additional irrigation potential created in Telangana is only 5%

102) There are 10,000+ Industrial units in Telangana, 1200 are owned by Telanganites, 6500 are owned by Seemandhra, rest are by outsiders.

103) Proportionally Telangana should be given about 43% in budget allocation, Since 1953, it never exceeded 30%. Yet Telangana contributes 42% of revenue to the state exchequer.

104) Nizamsagar was built in 1931 to serve Nizamabad and Medak about 2.7 lakh acres of land. It was neglected for maintenance and improvements, now satellite images prove that all its 83 tributaries, 243 distributaries have been silted up and eroded. World bank sanctioned 30 crores for the project, which was never spent. The project now going to be almost useless.

105) In Andhra region every year two crops are cultivated because of water availability, in Telangana a single crop will be cultivated with great difficulty.

106) Technical institutions wise, 26 are in Telangana, 54 are in Andhra. 20 polytechnics in Telangana, 70 in Andhra. 2 Medical colleges in Telangana, 6 in Andhra.

107) British build Railways, Administrative Services, Post and Telegraph, installed democratic institutions, judiciary, rule of law, and built the cities of Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, and New Delhi. British did not claim any of these when they had to leave India. Seemandhra are making big hue and cry clamoring for Hyderabad claiming they have built the city. In 400 yrs of Hyderabad history, how many years did they contribute the 'development' ?

108) Hyderabad - demographic expansion can never be considered as a development. It’s natural growth. It is like a girl who is 10 yrs now will attain 15yrs of age after 5 yrs – can we call it development ? Also, its not just Hyd which is developed … all big/medium cities in India are in development path.

The Whole of Telangana is Backward – Union Minister Confirms in the Lok Sabha

After the confessions of Seemandhra people before the Sri Krishna Commission that they want united Andhra Pradesh or the status quo to be maintained for the state as, if the state of Telangana is carved out, then the Seemandhra people will face acute problems in terms of acquiring jobs and water which they are getting in and from Telangana. Now the union minister of state for rural development, Mr Pradeep Jain Aditya, in the Lok Sabha on Monday 9th August had given reply to a question on the allotment of funds to backward districts, where he said 9 Districts of Telangana are the most backward out of total 13 backward districts of Andhra Pradesh. This has irked the leaders from the Coastal Andhra who rubbishes the backwardness claims of Telanganites.
This reply by the union minister in the Lok Sabha  is a confirmation for the grievances of Telangana people for decades that the region is utterly backward and the state government not given adequate importance to the region.
The minister, in a written reply to Mr. Suresh K. Taware, provided particulars of the districts identified to address the problem of regional imbalances under ‘Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF)’ initiated in 2006-07.
In Andhra Pradesh, 13 districts have been identified on the recommendation of the state government. They included 9 out of 10 in Telangana, 3 out of 4 in the Rayalaseema and 1 out of 9 in the Coastal Andhra region.
Dr. Manda Jagannadam, Congress MP from Nagarkurnool, said the Centre itself had now made it clear that except for Hyderabad, all the remaining districts in Telangana are backward. “It should be an eye opener for those criticising the demand of separate Telangana,’’ he said.
Mr Jagannadam also said Telangana Congress leaders will submit a fresh memorandum to Justice Srikrishna Committee with the details provided by Union Government.
Mr K.K. Government’s reply should be the criterion for declaring separate statehood. However, the panchayati raj and rural development minister, Mr. Botsa Satyanarayana, said scanty rainfall, and agriculture loss during seven consecutive years of severe drought under Telugu Desam rule were the criteria for selection of backward districts.
The union Government had agreed to provide special assistance under the BRGF scheme every year to a tune of Rs 348 crore, said the minister.
Political analysers say this could be an indicator of the union government that they are preparing the ground for the creation of separate state, and this report can be used as a basis for that.

"Telengana Statehood Drive Stays Strong"-WallStreet Journal



The results of by-elections in the Telangana region of India’s southern Andhra Pradesh show the region still firmly in favor of separate statehood and have been a blow to the Congress party, which is in favor of a united Andhra state. Telangana Rashtra Samiti—the political party dedicated to establishing a separate state of Telangana, which includes Hyderabad—has won six seats of the 12 being contested for the state legislature and is leading in five other constituencies, said senior party leader T. Harish Rao. The final results for the by-
elections will be announced Friday evening. “This proves the Telangana sentiment is still high among people,” Mr. Rao told India Real Time. “The win will give a boost to the movement.” Mr. Rao—nephew of TRS leader K. Chandrashekar Rao, who has been spearheading the Telengana movement—won an assembly seat in today’s by-elections. The Congress party chief in the southern Andhra Pradesh state, D. Srinivas, suffered a defeat in his by-election in the Telangana region. The by-elections, held July 27 for 12 assembly seats, were called after the resignation of 10 legislators of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti party and one each of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party and a regional Telegu Desam Party on demands for a separate state of Telangana earlier this year. In December last year, India’s government agreed to carve a separate state out of the southern Indian province of Andhra Pradesh, which includes the information-technology capital of Hyderabad, following days of violent protests. The government, however, declined to provide a timeframe for the final resolution to be introduced in the state assembly. Several legislators later quit their posts in support of a separate Telangana. The movement for a separate Telangana state dates back to 1956 when the region was merged with the state of Andhra Pradesh as part of a reorganization of states along linguistic lines formulated by then-Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. The Telangana region is spread over 10 of the 23 districts that make up Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi party, formed in April 2001 to support the cause, argues that the region has been neglected by the government, with high poverty and unemployment rates and lack of proper irrigation facilities. The by-elections are set to return to the assembly the same preponderance of statehood-supporting politicians as quit previously, which could augur for more agitation at a later date. It remains to be seen, though, whether they can force New Delhi’s hand in granting separate statehood. Source :
