The President of India, Mrs. Pratibha Patil’s address to the Parliament on the 1st day of the budget session on 22nd Feb, 2010 shared a commonality with that made by the AP Governor ESL Narasimhan, to the legislative Assembly in Hyderabad on February 1, 2010. Both of them, made no reference to the demand for a separate state of Telangana, which is not surprising as the same lobby has forced this exclusion. This callous sweeping aside of an highly emotive issue that is taking lives daily, with a suicide a day is a shame for the Nation’s collective conscience.
We the people of Telangana are to be blamed for this attitude of the Center and the State Administration, for we grossly depreciated the value of our lives, by these suicides. We need to remember, that there is no one more foolish, than the patriot who deludes himself into believing, his sacrifice will win battles. It is not yours but your enemy’s sacrifice that will help you win wars. My appeal to the youth is taking your own life, will not make any difference to the Center and State Government. Their reaction to hearing about successive suicides may go like this, “What another suicide in Telangana, how annoying! First it was the farmers and now it’s these students!
Going by their logic, the only thing that has changed is the profile of the people who are taking their lives. And there is no compelling reason for them to take action. But, if our actions impact their functioning and cause pecuniary loss, then yes by God, they will take notice and listen to our demand. It is simple we need to strike where it hurts, to start with let us
• Refuse to pay all Central and State taxes till a separate state is formed. Various districts in Telangana have already taken a lead in this but we need to make it a way of life, with people in all districts refusing to pay taxes.
• Refuse to pay the Electricity and water bills, as these will add to the coffers of the AP Government and we all know this money goes, to the development of the Seemandhra region. Let us hold this money in trust to be paid to the Telangana State when it is formed. Our state will need all the money for rebuilding.
• When buying goods, pay the price of the product without the Sales Tax, and give an IOU in its stead, stating the money can be collected from you when Telangana is formed.
These steps are not only difficult but impossible to implement individually, but the collective will and action on these fronts, will have a multiplier effect and bring the State and the Nation to a standstill. It is time, we moved away from asking for Telangana with an open hand, to wresting it away with our fists.
Jai Telangana. Jai Hind
