By now everybody knows that, the root cause of Telangana imbroglio is the posthaste merger of Andhra state with Telangana.The 54 year history of united state has revealed the inequalities, inconsistencies and downright violations of agreements of the merger. Thanks to decade old present Telangana struggle in general and the post one year of Chidambaram announcement in particular, all the gory details of andhras’ Organized exploitation are in the open. Some Andhra intellectuals like Dr.Vijaya Kumar and M V Ramana Reddy have also endorsed the injustices done to Telangana in the united state, with great perspective and sagacity. Some separate Andhra activists, Bahujana samaj activists, writers and poets of Andhra have also supported the genuine demand of Telangana people.

Yet the political parties like Congress, TDP and PRP in Andhra are playing political brinkmanship of worst type in a democracy. They have one time or other have approved Telangana State in their alliances, election manifestos, letters to committees, all party resolutions etc., But, after the announcement of Chidambaram, when formation of Telangana State was looming large, they went berserk with treason and started to exhibit most reprehensible behavior in democracy. Forced Central government to appoint a committee to stymie the formation of separate state. During the study of this specious committee the utterances and behavior of Andhra political leaders makes democrats hang their heads in shame. Even a court of law had to give orders to initiate criminal action against some Andhra ministers.Governor; CM and DGP have taken cudgels on behalf of andhras and unleashed police brutalities against students with the draconian intensions of suppressing the struggle. They have brought thousands of central forces in to Telangana.Yet; the struggle has grown from strength to strength, to the chagrin of Andhra politicians.

Then they tried the most undemocratic act of hijacking the committee report and appear to have succeeded in it. The committee report turned out to be a conglomeration of half truths and downright lies.Althogh andhra legislators with the connivance of some members of the committee tried to exterminate Telangana state formation, they could not fully succeed in it.They could only complicate and create some confusion on some issues. Most of its incoherent list of options sounded like a wish list of Andhra legislators. At the outset, It appears that the report was doctored and drafted by andhras with the complicity of some members.But the enormity of desire of 4 1/2 crore people have scared Sri Krishna in the end and he has hastily negatived the first 4 options, the wish list of andhras and have added 5th and 6th options. The 6th option appears to be added once again at the behest of andhras in the end to complicate the issue. If it is not so and if we think all the 6 options were the considered opinions of the committee, where was the necessity of negating the options after writing down them. If they did not find favor of the committee they could have discussed it in the report and negatived in the the body of the report itself. If the 6th option is the No.1 option why it was kept at no.6. it would have been placed at no.1.It looks like it is added in the end as an afterthought to queer the pitch for Telangana. But as the truth will have it the 5th option alone emerged as the only feasible option, whatever are the diabolic attempts of andhras in the report.

Andhra politicians want to keep 4 ½ crore Telangana people against their wish forcibly in the name of one language. Except this they have no other plausible reason .All other fake reasons put forward by andhras are proved to be rubbish. They want to stop state demerger by their political numbers and the political clout with Congress High command bought with the money plundered from Telangana.30 lakh Telangana people have congregated at ‘Mahagarjana’ demanding Telangana State.Students braved ‘jallianwallah’ like repressions,Lawyers,Journalists,Doctors,Engineers,Employees all sections of people from cities ,towns and villages are on peaceful war path. They will never rest till they achieve their State. If andhra politicians cannot see this and still, stick to their arrogance and ‘head in the sand attitude’, they will not be allowed to succeed this time.

The whole world is watching the intransigence of Indian Central government on the formation of Telangana state. Whole India is also observing the political arrogance of andhras, causing indefinite agony to Telangana people in opposing the demerger of state. They should honor the democratic wish of Telangana people. If they have any doubt, they can conduct a ‘Sudan’ like plebiscite in Telangana.But if they want to oppose it with their brutish political strength, it will boomerang on them. It is time for Andhra people to realize the futility of stopping Telangana state formation. If they want to be called democratic and living in a civilized democratic world, they should know how to honor their compatriots’ legitimate rights elegantly. They should try to emulate honesty and egalitarian outlook of their own intellectuals like Dr.Vijaya Kumar and MVRamana Reddy.The democratic feelings of people like Rafi(separate Andhra),Ramesh(journalist),the poets of ‘Kavadi Kundalu from Ongole’ etc.,They should eschew this political imperialism in democracy. Otherwise their democratic credentials are under severe test and the history will treat them very harshly. So, andhras! Please be democratic & gracious. Don’t continue to be undemocratic.
