Telangana is a northern region of Andhra Pradesh; bordering Maharashtra and Karnataka.It is region which was cradle to most of the revolutions that took place in the south of Vindhya's.Be it first armed struggle against the Nizam rule(mind Telangana did not get its independence with India; it got it after sardar Patel's police action).or Naxalism against Land lords or Bhudhan Movement to disburse land to Poor(It is Rami reddy who gave hundred acres of his land to Vinobha bhave call, on Bahve's visit to Warangal).
All those revolutionary movements have changed the psyche of the people and thinking process of the people. Fortunately this change happened for the betterment of the society. I personally feel that, after independence if there is any place or society, one region which empowered socially on its own is Telangana. This fact was ignored by social scientist of this country, who always obsess with only North of Vindhyachal and some belts of South. Some disagree with my observation by citing that Kerala, Gujarath, Maha rastra.My answer to all o0f them is that that empowerment taken place in all those areas at the instance of the Government. However in telangana it happened due to revolutionary movements; in the absence of government.
All those revolutionary movements aimed at social empowerment but not that of economic empowerment. Though some of those movements partially addressed the economic issues. They did not succeed to the extent they are supposed to. Simple reason for that was means to achieve was wrong in civilized society. The means of these movements may not be right; ends really mattered a lot to the social empowerment of the Telangana society.
Unfortunately Social empowerment did not pave the way for economic development. This is where Political leadership should have worked. Instead Political leadership turned its back to the telangana society which ultimately resulted into chaotic situation that this region in.
How can Telangana can come out of the mess it is in today? Perhaps Economic empowerment (development) in the lines of social empowerment may rid of all the ailments that are plaguing this region.
Who'll bell the cat? Who’ll usher in the new mindset changes into the people of Telangana?
How can they achieve that economic development? Is there need for 21'st century revolution to bring economic prosperity into the lives of Telangana people?
Carving itself out from AP is the solution? Small state answers the problem?
These are all the questions people of telangana should ask themselves to make Telangana a prosperous state.
