Story of MULKI rules

The feelings of local people were so intense about being alienated and being denied of their rights that a ‘Non-Mulki Movement’ started in 1952 against the continuance and domination of people from outside the State. More important, this gave birth to the fears and apprehensions in the minds of the local people about what could happen to them if they were to merge with the neighbouring State of Andhra.


This movement lasted over a month and students from all the regions of the Hyderabad state spontaneously participated in this popular movement seeking employment of people from within the State in government jobs. Four people laid down their lives when the government attempted to suppress the movement with force. The purpose of recalling this episode is to bring home the point the damage that can be inflicted by an indifferent administration with no accountability and a government that does not represent the will of the people. In a way,
the demand for a separate statehood for Telangana had its roots in the mulki agitation.

Men came to Hyderabad to rule Telangana FROM MADRAS

SCENE OF 1948's IN SOUTH INDIA
During this period, a number of people from United Madras State and other States were brought in to run the administration. The officials brought in from outside the State had no empathy for the people of the State and they behaved more like rulers than civil servants meant for serving the people. The integration of the State with the Indian Union did not make any difference to the people of the State and they continued to be treated with disdain and apathy. The people who came to the State from United Madras cornered all the important jobs much to the consternation of the people of the State. The Administrator of the Union Government being outside the State made the matters worse.

Telangana - A Historical Perspective

Telangana - A Historical Perspective

The history of Telangana since the formation of Andhra Pradesh in 1956 is one of humiliation, breach of trust and exploitation of its people and resources. This has stretched the patience of simple, trusting and peace loving people to the hilt. The popular and broad based demand for a separate statehood for Telangana is again in the forefront.


In fact, the demand for separate statehood for Telangana started even before the formation of Andhra Pradesh and continued since then. It never ceased to exist and never faded from public memory but suppressed with periodic assurances which were never fulfilled.


Before independence, Telangana was part of the princely state of Hyderabad, which consisted of Telugu, Marathi and Kannada speaking regions. At the time of independence,

Hyderabad State continued to retain its separate identity. Following the intervention of the Union Government which was popularly termed as the ‘Police Action,’ Hyderabad State was merged with the Indian Union on September 17, 1948. From 1948,

Hyderabad State remained under the administration of the Union Government till general elections were held in 1952.

COMPARE FIRST & THIS 5 YEAR PLANS

The First five year plan started with one lakh of crores of rupees.

Now, we have an annual budget of several lakhs of crores.
Promises were made about quality of life.
But economic growth, measured in GDP did not get translated into human development.

They quote Gandhi ji who said: “man is the measure of development”. On the ground, the pattern of development yielded negative indicators such as

(a) Cash compensation
(b) Alienation from their own lands, through acquisition and resale at market prices.
(c) Loss of livelihoods
(d) Distress migration et al.
They have heard the promises of globalization, liberalization, privatization and profit
maximization loud and clear, but they got spurious fertilizers and pesticides, faced failed
crops, committed suicides et al.

Even a cursory look at the environs of Hyderabad, Mahabubnagar and Medak districts
reveal the on the ground social conditions of distress and conflict.

The interior rural-tribal areas present even more distressing ground conditions and social conflict. They have grown over time with no signs of mitigation.

Time to redefine our problems priorities and answers to the problems:

People are alienated for they do not recognize themselves as citizens in our democracy.

For democracy means decentralized and participative self governance.

TCMG report extracts for info from open document,

Telangana though land with holdings of nobles, deprived of learning in Telugu gave its people harmony, health care, exposure to modernity and taste of advanced administration.

Sir Ronald Ross conducted his experiments on malaria in Hyderabad in
1897 which earned him Nobel Prize in 1902. In 1907, Hyderabad had astronomical research – Nizamia Observatory. Congenial for innovations. Such advanced installations grew in number even before it became integral part of independent India.

The case for Telangana state is over examined, excessively evaluated, rigourously reported and dutifully deceived. SAYS RAPOLU ANANDA BASKAR

The reports on Telangana are full of broken promises, un-adhered agreements, failed formula, swallowed surpluses and safeguards, reversed recommendations, cunningly contended contexts, twisted terms and thoroughly recorded references

TCMG goes to New delhi on Telangana

Telangana tale is full of
continuous oppression,
imperialism,
colonization,
expansionism,
linguistic abuse
and
human rights violations.

At present, TELANGANA is in UNPRECEDENTED MASS UPHEAVAL.

The word TELANGANA is thousands of years old. It means the land where Telugu is
spoken. The land has civilization of thousands of years.
