Happy Christmas and New Year

Hi Friends,
I wish all of you and your families a happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year 2010 ahead. God bless you.
I wish the problems right now in my region(State of Andhra Pradesh in India) will be resolved soon. May this horrible politicians realize their mistakes and get the peoples life into normal pace.

Do we really need Telangana?

I hope most of you would know that there is this issue of separate state(Telangana) in the state of Andhra Pradesh(India). And it became serious issue these days the so called leaders started riots to get separate state.

But are they really thinking about why we need a separate state? I am sure no. Its just a stunt to get the political power. Several years ago Andhra Pradesh was separated from the state of Madras in the ending of British rule. Yes, this made sense that time because we had a language barrier between Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh. But this telangana movement doesn't make sense at all. This is absolutely trying to make Andhra into pieces so that everyone can enjoy their share without obstructions.

If they are real leaders, are they thinking about the people and the post issues after forming a separate state? If they have real guts, they should verify how much they contributed to (at least tried to ) that region to develop before asking for a separate state.

If they think that only Telangana region is undeveloped that is absolutely wrong. There are 1000's of undeveloped regions in Rayalaseema and Coastal regions too. Its about developing the entire state as a whole. In addition to that, they are destroying the public properties all over the state. Do they thinks its their father's property? They will realize how it feels only if they lose their personal property.

Another main concern I have is even the students are agitating without putting their thoughts. They are the ones who should lay the path for the future India. They should think in a constructive manner rather than breaking everything into pieces. I am sure that most of the students are being used politically by the leaders for this issue.

This is the time to resolve this issue without prolonging further. I hope the central government will take the right decision without bowing their heads to the corrupted leaders.
