Telangana region has been one of the
most underdeveloped regions in India. As we are in the early 21st
century, it is our responsibility to make sure that every human
being deserves a dignified life. Telangana people are not fortunate
enough to enjoy even basic necessities like food, shelter, safe
drinking water or sanitation facilities. It is appalling to see
how this region has been neglected for decades.
More than eighty percent of Telangana depend on agriculture. We were
ruled by different kings until 1948 for the last five centuries
and we survived with limited water facilities. Things have not changed
for the last 50 years, even though we can claim that two prime minsters
are from Telangana (Smt. Indira Gandhi representd Medak and Shri.
P.V. Narsimha Rao was born in Karimnagar district).
Most of the farmers still depend on the well irrigation. The well
irrigation is expensive with constant problems with the electric
motors. Farmers have to depend on the erratic electricity supply
for their crops. Governament has tough time providing even 7 hours
of electricity to these farmers. Most of the canals that were envisaged
during Nizam’s rule were either put on hold or allocated very
little money (compare Telugu Ganga Vs Flood flow canal in Karimnagar).
Even the projects that were completed have benefited the Andhra
region than Telangana region. Hundreds are farmers committed suicides
leaving their wives and children in the cold.
We need a Telangana where people care about every human being, not
just rich people or politicians. We need to look into the root cause
of the problems and resolving them as soon as possible. We don’t
need the vision which can not be implemented for millions of poor
people. We need a practical solution that ensures people have enough
resources to work hard and succeed. We will have to act NOW to make
sure our children and grand children will have great future.
We just want to do our part on educating people about the backwardness
of Telangana region and hope that we will see a day, when we can
say that “Naa Telangana, Ratnala Veena”
