Telangana Movement : Students Role

                   It is a widely accepted notion that students are no longer interested in nation building and that they lost interest in participating in democratic and just movements. In Andhra Pradesh , to be precise in Telangana something happened in contrast to widely accepted notion.
                  It was said that Students lost interest in the Telangan movement as they are concentrating on their careers.   One political anaylist,C. Narasinha Rao, was opining in one of TV interview that there is no room for people movements in democracy.I really like to see him where he is hiding face.This is what happens when psychologist turns political anaylist.The very same people not noticed the fact that dormant feeling for separate state of Telangana exists in everybody only that they are waiting for right time.As it is known fact that you can take “Telangani out of Telangana but not Telangana out of Telangani”. It is evident form the many incidents that have happened over a period of past 50 years in India history.
                   In the contemporary Indian history I can recall two incidents where students were spearheading the people movements. First it was 5 years ago when UPA govt announced that there would be reservations in the post graduation of medical and engineering education.It is understandable that students were directly involving in the movement against reservation as it affects them directly. Primarily students from upper strata of the society have participated In that struggle.
                  Second is in recent past where students groups under the umbrella of JAC( Joint action Committee) spear headed the Telangana movement. Though it was for a very short time.The kind of maturity they have chosen it commendable. People from all strta of society participated in the movement keeping all the socio,politico differences aside.It is applaudable how they foxed the govt ,particularly when first they announced “Chalo Assembly” programme ,soon seeing police deployment they changed the same agitation name to “Peace Rally”. Telanganis have always been sided with oppressed to fight against the injustice,be it Telangana armed struggle against” Rajakars’ of Kashim rajvi or fighting against some oppressing social groups.
                       However as always Telangana people inlcuding the students could not manage to put across their point on national political and social scenario quite effectively as they do quite effectively at the state level.They should have used this oppurtunity to put Andhra peoples duplicity before the nation.It is refreshing to see how Mr KT Rao and Madhu Yaski defending the Telangana case before the nation. They turned out be great spoke persons of this region.
                       Here i am giving the speeches made by one kishore in chaste telangani. poor telangana wala can’t put across their view point through costly ads as andhra wala are doing in local media. Here they attempted to use you tube to put across ther point through MUSI Tv. Quite innovative
