This Image on this Telugu news channel is telling. Even as scores are getting injured in the most ruthless police lathi-charge and firing in recent times, in Hyderabad’s OU campus, this channel did it best to take it easy and go along with Telugu movie entertainment complete with belly-dancing. 3 hours and the police were still hunting down the students and worse other channels were covering it.

Telangana festival Bathukamma

Political agitations that drag on and on fall into a set groove—usually, one tired rally after another, with a flagging media attendance. Not Telangana, where the fight for statehood refuses to be monochromatic, and is expressing itself in a riot of colours. Read more

Telugu Television media is deliberately not covering the ongoing Telangana agitation properly. And the print media is not publishing much of the district news in the main edition. The result is many people in Hyderabad and also living in other places of the world are unaware of the depth and extent of this people’s movement. Read more

Nizams Letter to the United Nations (U.N) dated 23rd & response by UN on 30th September 1948 regarding the issue of Hyderabad State (which include 10 districts of present Telangana).

-Riane Menardi

HYDERABAD, India — In the middle of the University of Hyderabad’s expansive campus is a large, haphazard tent, pitched precariously with sticks and rope. On a weekday afternoon, about 25 graduate students sit cross-legged on a dirty rug, talking among themselves. They shoot challenging glances at passers-by, half daring, half inviting them to come inside. They’re protesting, and they want the world to know it. Read more

Telugu Talli

తెలుగుతల్లి. చల్లని తల్లి. పలు కూడల్లలో ప్రశాంతంగా నిలబడి ప్రజలందరినీ సమానంగా ఆధరించే తల్లి. ఈ తల్లి ఇప్పుడు లొల్లికి నిలయంగా నిలిచింది. తెలంగాణ రాష్ట్ర ఏర్పాటు అడ్డుకోవడానికి కొందరు స్వార్ద రాజకీయ నాయకుల చేతిలో అవసరానికి పనికొచ్చే కీలుబొమ్మగా మారింది.

ఒకప్పుడు ఆంధ్రా నేతలు తెలంగాణాను ఆక్రమించుకోవడానికి చూపించిన, ఈరోజు దోపిడీదార్లు వదలకుండా తెలంగాణాను అంటిపెట్టుకోవాడానికి చూపిస్తున్న ఒకే ఒక్క కారణం, “మనమంతా తెలుగు వాళ్లం, తెలుగుతల్లి బిడ్డలం”.

The Telangana issue has both helped and handicapped the Congress

By Lalita Iyer & Soni Mishra

In the run-up to the creation of Andhra Pradesh, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had not been particularly happy with the idea of merging Telangana with the Andhra region, saying it had a “tint of expansionist imperialism”. Read more

Ramachandra Guha is the author of India After Gandhi: The History of the World’s Largest Democracy  

The views expressed by the author are personal

Consider these excerpts from a set of essays I have been reading:   

‘The people of Telangana find themselves in an unenviable state. Their fellow countrymen outside the State of Andhra Pradesh, are unable to understand, much less appreciate, the significance of the revolt in Telangana’.

‘The moment Telangana elected representatives dehypnotise themselves from the lure and pressure of the Andhra political bosses, and fall in line with the aspirations of their electors, the movement will reach its natural culmination’.
