Telangana State – justice for over 2 crore people

Formation of Telangana state, a long pending item on the national agenda, is the cherished desire of the Telangana people to deliver unto themselves the fruits of freedom and to ensure for themselves social, economic and political justice as enshrined in the constitution.

Formation of Telangana State is in the larger national interests as it is dangerous for the nation to have more than two crore frustrated, oppressed and suppressed people in the belly of India. This continues to manifest itself with the youth of the region falling like nine pins to the philosophy of violent extremism and fundamentalism.

As Telangana and its people continue to suffer in Andhra Pradesh the only solution to this humane problem is to form a separate Telangana state. That the merger of Telangana with the Andhra State was against all cannons of wisdom is evident from the fact that even after 53 years there is no emotional integration between the Telangana and Andhra people.

The Gentlemen’s Agreement signed by the leaders of Andhra and Telangana to bring about formation of Andhra Pradesh offered safeguards to the Telangana region and its people. This agreement has been treated as a scrap of paper by subsequent Governments both at the Centre and in the State. The Government of India was a guarantor to the Gentlemen’s agreement yet it too failed to protect the interests of the Telangana people who too are Indians. Today, the time has come for the Government of India to redeem itself and see that finally justice is done to the over 2 crore Telangana people.

For us, over 2 crore Telangana people, it is now “Do or Die”, we have suffered for the last half century and will no longer listen to platitudes and promises. Telangana State is non-negotiable, we will not settle for anything less than Telangana State.

And let us this time round not leave the destiny of over two crore Indians to the political parties which have time stabbed us in the back for the proverbial forty pieces of silver. Let us unite and keep the momentum of the movement till the Government at the Centre promises a date for the formation the Telangana State. Any laxity on our part and we will subjugate our future generations to continued exploitation, subjugation and rape at the hands of the Andhra’s

Remember “Telangana State is non-negotiable”

Jai Telangana
Jai Hind
