I apologise to all as I don't have
any right to talk about separate statehood of Telangana. For those who don't have an idea about what is turning Hyderabad into a furnace(meh..) read on this link . This post is a voice from a common man who is, needlessly, put into trouble for a cause
which he/she is not associated with. First, I don't give donkey's if the Govt
of India decide to form Telangana or defy it, I work in Hyderabad and I started
to love this place just after a month I came here but now, I'm afraid, I regret
living here mainly because of these agitations for a seperate statehood
of Telangana. I've seen mobs vandalise shops just opposite to apartment I stay
and there is no one to control them, forcing people to change their vehicle's
number plate to TG(Telangana) instead of AP(Andhra pradesh), destroying statues
of iconic leaders etc... Don't take this is as another rant, my question is
why, but why, one need to follow only this route to acheive a goal. When there
are people like Anna Hazare who came out of no where and brought people's minds
together why to go berserk for a cause, being in a country which stands as epitome of
non-violence movements, proved once again by Anna Hazare, hooliganism only put
people in trouble, why not re-think on the strategy.
People rushing to petrol stations
and super-markets have become a common scene in Hyderabad, just when you think
the bandhs are over they start again, day in day out one has to prepare himself
to face bandhs. Schools and colleges are shut and there comes Rail rokos which
put thousands of people to hardships. I have to cancel my trip to Mantralayam
because of Rail roko and my colleague twice has to re-schedule his journey.
People who want Telangana madly, why can't they spare a thought for others not
associated with this agitation. In a city where local transportation is a hit
and miss affair even on a fine day how one can commute to places, or even go to work, when bus and train services go on strike? Auto wallas are charging
people insanely, people going to hospitals give more money to auto wallas than
doctor consultation fees, people waiting in bus stands putting their hands in
front of other vehicles for a lift. Do I need to talk about AP govt & Govt
of India's swift actions to control the situation (no sarcasm), don't get me
started on that, they are utter disgrace. These agitations reflect badly to
parents and relatives in other states, their phone conversation starts with
'How are things there?' Unless or otherwise some consensus comes out for this
political issue, in simple words, Hyderabad is one
hell of place to live, yes there I said.
You have come out with nice piece of writing. Your angst is clearly perceivable in this piece.The plight of a common man in this country needs to be addressed by those who matter.
