Hi. Just found your old post on Teleangana.

I have written a piece on having a process of setting up new states.

Terrific work! This is the type of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

Hi Sir,
Having worked so closely with the poiliticians and with your insight, what in your opinion is going to be the fate of India with states demanding their own space? naren

Dear GN
Your write-up on the Telangana issue is quite empathetic and strikes a chord with reason too. Keep it up. CP Singh

Neither the Chandigarh model nor a separate statehood for Hyderabad is applicable to the Telangana Issue. Hyderabad can never be an issue of debate, as it has been the capital city of Telangana since over six decades. The concern is that the settlers, of whom most of them are from the costal Andhra regions have invested heavily in Hyderabad, the real estate business is mostly controlled by them. They are not against the formation of Telangana state(as there is not much left to be exploited) but they are strongly opposing Hyderabad becoming part of Telangana. Their only motive is to safe guard their property and interests in Hyderabad. A very strong lobby ( MLAs MPs and Business class) is racking the issue of Hyderabad becoming a common capital for the divided Andhra Pradesh. But the fact is Hyderabad is the heart and pride of Telangana, only futile efforts can be made to separate it from the region. The demand for separate statehood by various regions of the country is different compared to that of Telangana issue.

As usual, a good and concise look back on the issue. It would have been nice to know more about the future alternates and how the poilitical (will) will wilt in the end!
Historically, the suppressed clasess raise and demand a change. Except for initial disturbances, such agitation yields good results in the long run. The focus needs to be more on Development than Power (Chattisagrh is an example). But, the greed of the Political class will always have the last laugh.
On the Positive side-this agitation can be seen as Democracy at its Active Best. Hopefully, agitators would realise that it is better to dialogue than destroy each other.

Dear Girishji,

Good one.
We may now see a series of such demand for smaller states in the near future.
Gujarat, UP, Karnataka…. and so on.
People in politics will have a real “Good time” and the media, news to post..

Regards,

Well written, informative piece. You probably missed some of the other statehood demands. Being the son of the soil, you should consider the claims of Coorg.
