Telangana: 29th state in the Republic of India

And I woke up this morning to the announcement of bifurcation of the state I was born in.  Some are elated, some are dejected and many are indifferent.  I could be indifferent but I have been having a terrible few days,  so I am taking vent on something that I cannot control instead of working on the things that I could possibly control.  The escapist in me cannot be put on a leash for a long time.

"Why Telangana?",  I asked Google. It brought me to this site: http://www.telangana.com/why_telangana.htm . It is written by Dr. Jayashanker. One who apparently started the movement  way back in the 1950's and wikipedia says he didn't marry for Telangana. The negativity in each of the answers in that link baffles me.  This is my opinion of his answers for the questions in the page I have linked to.

1. Please define justice. And also if by 50 years back, you mean you as a 6th grader refusing to sing a bloody song, then 15 years back I raised my voice against a plethora of things.

2. It is good that you have identified the problems that plague the region. But instead of fighting directly to solve the problem, you instead said, "Hey, lets get a new state. It takes a lot of money and actually cause some delays in addressing the problem, because you know we need to build this entirely new infrastructure for the new state. But still let's get a new state."

3. I am confused now. What's your point? Yes you have had people from Telangana but they did nothing. Then there was this guy who is from Telangana but not really, because you know he is a 'settler'. And then all these people from Rayalaseema who just had to cater to the rich people from Andhra.

4.  Yes sir, if that skinny kid can have candy so can you.

5. Are you kidding me ?  I was born in Hyderabad and *all* my ancestors, as far as I can trace back to, are from Telangana and I can assure you that those bloody xxx (you can fill in Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Malkaseema) are the most cunning, greedy a**holes and their customs are so bloody different from mine.

6. Now I am sure, nobody asked you that question but you asked it yourself so that you can have at least one answer which seems logical.

7. Because this time, we are not separating ourselves from the Madras Presidency where communication was becoming a huge pain in the a** and another language was being forced upon people.

8. Yes sir, we can just continue with our bad habits.

9.  "Telangana people subjected to ridicule wrt language" You need some sense of humor and may be a different set of friends.

10. Now I am getting bored. Refer to 6.

11.  Please show proof for the efforts you made to address the problems with in the framework and why and how you will be able to solve the problems with the formation of a new state.

12. Rulers? Who is appointing them?

13. 'These classes of people won't make any progress in the united AP'. Random assertions.

14. You need a wife.  I am sorry. My logic has failed me after reading your reasoning.

PS: I know you are supposed to not ridicule the dead but if this guy started the movement, I do hate him at the moment.
