Thank you for the clarifications, but your answers only raise more questions.
<br>First you state that Telangana people are selling lands to Andhra \'cos they offer more price. But why are they offereing Higher price. To me, it only means that the lands are fertile or that Andhraites are stupid to buy unarable land for higher prices.
<br>BTW, you didnt anwer the core issue, why are telangana people selling their lands in the first place? Surely you wont sell your home just because some one is offering you a good money. And if u do so, u shouldnt complain.
<br>
<br>About the second issue, I expected a better answer. Whatever reason you gave me doesnt make any sense. I dunno why Satyam computers gives importance to Khamma (even if they do so, its a caste problem but not race superiority issue as you seem to picture). AFAIK, Satyam owner Ramalinga raju is a Raju. I cant stress the word Raju any better, they are different from Khammas. Even if Satyam is following caste based recruitments it doesnt prove anything as it is a private company. I know scores of private businesses in Hyderabad owned by Gujaratis who dont employ telugu people, so what, they are \'private\' and not government instituitions.
<br>You also seem to indicate that Telangana people are not getting jobs in Satyam which is a ridiculous claim. The Satyam center at hyderabad has Large number of Telanagana Employees, including my Brother in law and a friend (reddy, FYI) of mine, both telanganites. So it doesnt prove Andhra race superiority claims.
<br>
<br>Same thing goes for Heroes in Cine industry. Many actors are from Andhra, no doubt, but most producers are from Telangana. So, can Andhra people say that Telanganaites are racists? There is a difference between Casteism and racism (in the modern Indian context), I hope you understand this.
<br>How different are those castes to Reddy and velama castes of Telangana.
<br>
<br>Finally your comparision of telangana to Chattisgarh and Uttaranchal is like comparing Apples to oranges. Chattisgarh and Uttarancahl have rich natural resources, yet neglected, so seperate state hood will only do good for thsoe states. Telangana is a different case in that it doesnt have any natural resources, industries, water resources. The only thing it has is warangal and Hyderabad. If Telangana seperates from Andhra and Rayalaseema it will become another bihar. We already have Naxallite problem coupled with modern from of Feudalism. There is disproportianate distribution of land in telangana compared to Andhra.
<br>When Telangana(erst while Nizams Hyderabad) was liberated, 3%(?) of people were holding more than 40% of land. The situation didnt improve even after 50 years (part of the reason why we see naxalism).
<br>So if Telangana seperates, we are the only one who lose. I dont see any benefits of a seperate state,, nor do the leaders ahve a vision. I am yet to see TRS or any Telangana party Agenda, what they plan to do with a seperate state, how they plan to improve water resources and decrease poverty. Without all these issues cleared, I dont understand what good a seperate state will do.
May the Fries be with you!
