2500 Years old Telangana

Telanagana has been known by that name for at least 2500 years. It was the name that the Romans, Greeks and Persians knew it by Greek traders in the Ptolomiac and Roman empires regularly went to South India and even onto China via the well known trade route starting from Alexandria, down the Nile, portage across to the Red Sea, down the Red Sea and then straight across the Arabian Sea to modern Kerala. This is how Saint Thomas, disciple of Christ, got to South India and why Kerela has 20% Christians since that time. The many hordes of Roman dinari gold coins that have been excavated in the extreme south of India also in many parts of Telangana along satavahana coins

also attest to this fact.

Sri Rama in Telangana

In Treta Yuga, it is believed that Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana arrived in Telengana from Dandakaranya (present-day southern Chhattisgarh). They initially came to Karimnagar district and lived in places like the Ramagiri hills and Illantha Kunta village. They then moved along the Godavari River spent their lives in exile at Parnashala, which is about 25 kilometres from Bhadrachalam in Khammam District.

Telangana was the homeland of the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE). Kotilingala in Karimnagar was their first capital, before Dharanikota. Excavations at Kotilingala revealed coinage of Simukha, the first Satavahana emperor.

The region experienced its golden age during the reign of the Kakatiya dynasty, a Telugu dynasty that ruled most parts of what is now Andhra Pradesh from 1083 to 1323. Ganapatideva was known as the greatest of the Kakatiyas, and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Cholas, who accepted his suzerainty in the year 1210. He established order in his vast dominion that stretched from the Godavari delta in the east to Raichur (in modern day Karnataka) in the west and from Karimnagar and Bastar (in modern day Chattisgarh) in the north to Srisailam and Tripurantakam, near Ongole, in the south. It was during his reign that the Golkonda fort was constructed. Rudrama Devi and Prataparudra were prominent rulers from the Kakatiya dynasty.

Telangana came under the Muslim rule of the Delhi Sultanate in the 14th century, followed by Bahmanis, Qutb Shahis, and the Mughals. As the Mughal Empire began to disintegrate in the early 18th century, the Muslim Asafjahi dynasty established a separate state known as Hyderabad. Later, Hyderabad entered into a treaty of subsidiary alliance with the British Empire, and was the largest and most populous princely state in India. Telangana was never under direct British rule, unlike the Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions of Andhra Pradesh, which were part of British India's Madras Presidency.

Facts about Hyderabad,Asafjahis

Though Hyderabad was founded in A.D.1590--91 and built by Muhammad Quli, the fifth king of the Qutbshahi dynasty, it was a princely capital under them. The pomp and peagantry of the fabulous Asafjahi Nizams gained an all-India importance as well as World wide recognition. The rule of the Nizams lasted not only for a much longer period from A.D.1724 to 1948 but also concerned a large territory with diverse language groups that came under their sway.

The authority of the founder of the State of Hyderabad, Asafjah I, extended from Narmada to Trichinapally and from Machilipatnam to Bijapur. During the period of Afzal-ud-Daula (A.D.1857--1869) it was estimated to be 95,337 sq.miles (2,46,922.83 sq.kms.), forming a lateral square of more than 450 miles (724.17 kms.) each way.

After Nizam I, Asaf Jah, died in A.D.1748, there was tussle for power among his son, Nasar Jung, and grandson Muzaffar Jung. The English supported Nasar Jung whereas Muzaffar Jung got support from the French. These two heirs were subsequently killed by Nawabs of Kurnool and Cuddapah, one after another, in A.D.1750 and AD.1751 respectively. The third son of Nizam I, Salabat Jung became the ruler as Nizam under the support of the French.

WHO IS ASAFJAHI First king Mir Kamaruddin

Asaf Jahis

The founder of this dynasty was one Mir Kamaruddin, a noble and a courtier of the Mughal Muhammad Shah, who negotiated for a peace treaty with Nadirshah, the Iranian invader; got disgusted with the intrigues that prevailed in Delhi. He was on his way back to the Deccan, where, earlier he was a Subedar. But he had to confront Mubariz Khan, as a result of a plot by the Mughal emperor to kill the former. Mubariz Khan failed in his attempt and he was himself slain. This took place in A.D.1724, and henceforth Mir Kamaruddin, who assumed the title of Nizam-ul-Mulk, conducted himself as an independent prince. Earlier, while he was one of the Ministers of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah, the latter conferred on him the title of Asaf Jah. Thus begins the Asaf Jahi rule over Golconda with the capital at Aurangabad. It was only during Nizam II rule that the capital of the Deccan Subha was shifted to Hyderabad reviving its importance.

The Asafjahi Nizams are generally counted as seven, though they were ten. Nasir Jung and Muzaffar Jung, son and grandson of the Nizam I who were killed by the Kurnool and Cuddapah Nawabs and Salabatjung who also ruled for a decade, were not counted by the historians though the Mughal emperors at Delhi recognised them as Subedars of the Deccan.

The Nizams of Asafjahi dynasty who ruled the Deccan are the following:

(1) Mir Kamaruddin (Nizam-ul-Mulk - Asaf Jah I) (A.D.1724--1748), (2) Nasir Jung (A.D. 1748--1751), (3) Muzaffar Jung (A.D.1750--1751), (4) Salabat Jung (AD.1751--1761), (5) Nizam Ali Khan - Asaf Jah II (A.D.1762--1803), (6) Nizam III Sikandar Jah (A.D.1803--1829), (7) Nizam IV -- Nasir-ud-Daula (A.D.1829--1857), (8) Nizam V -- Afzal-ud-Daula (A.D.1857--1869), (9) Nizam VI -- Mir Mahaboob Ali Khan (A.D.1869--1911), and (10) Nizam VII -- Mir Osman Ali Khan (AD.1911--1948 September).

Pothireddypadu regulator was originally created for drinking water to Chennai with 5 TMC. Gradually 5 projects were ‘piggy backed’ & augmented to canal. In the name of Chennai drinking water, Seemandhra wanted to take entire Srisailam water • Veligonda project is being constructed on war footing basis. This will drain 60 TMC of water from Srisailam. This project is not allotted (water share by tribunal) and do not have clearance till now. • Handrineeva Sujala Sravanthi, not allotted not cleared project is going on war footing • SLBC despite of all recommendations, clearances and permissions never started. • Manuguru thermal power station proposed to be in Telangana was lobbied to be shifted to Vijayawada, transporting coal from singareni. • Dummugudem Hydal power station remained a promise on paper. • Icchampalli power (975 MW) project never started. • If Mumbai is not a free-zone, Delhi is not a freezone, Kolkatta is not a freezone, Chennai is not a freezone, Pune is not a freezone … why should Hyderabad be a freezone? Andhras were even demanding entire Telangana should be freezone.

The Satavahanas ruled a large and powerful empire that withstood the onslaughts from Central Asia. Aside from their military power, their commercialism and naval activity is evidenced by establishment of Indian colonies in southeast Asia for the first time in history

There are divergent views regarding the starting period of the Satavahana chronology and the total duration of the dynasty. According to D. R. Bhandarkar the Satavahana rule commenced in the 6 th or 5 th century B.C. But other scholars did not accept this view. Dr. M. Rama Rao held the view that the Satavahanas flourished between 221A.D

Danger behind the mulki rule

Following the ‘Non-Mulki’ agitation, the Government of Hyderabad notified Mulki Rules on
November 1, 1949. These rules provided safeguards to the people of erstwhile Hyderabad
State in government jobs. In terms of the provisions of these rules, no person was to be
appointed to any superior or inferior service if he was not a mulki and any person who was
a non-mulki was deemed to have been dismissed. A person was considered mulki, if he
was a subject of Hyderabad State or by residence in Hyderabad State was entitled to be a mulki. A person was also considered a mulki, if his father had completed 15 years of
service at the time of his birth or the wife of the person was a mulki. A person was
deemed to be a mulki if he was a permanent resident of Hyderabad State for at least 15
years and has abandoned the idea of returning to the place of his previous residence and
has obtained an affidavit to this effect attested by a Magistrate. The Mulki Rules 1949 are
reproduced in Annexure 2.1.
“In regard to appointments and employment in Telangana region, they seem to be having
some fears that educationally more advanced people from Andhra region might usurp all
avenues of employment depriving Telangana people of their due share. I want to make it
clear that we do not want anything in your share of employment at all. We are assuring
you that we would not touch your 1/3 share in employment. Such an assurance is made
not only on my personal behalf but also on behalf of this Assembly and the Government.”

other version of KOHINOOR

The origin of the diamond is unclear, although rumors abound. According to some sources, the Koh-i-noor was originally found more than 5000 years ago, and is mentioned in ancient Sanskrit writings under the name Syamantaka.[original research?] According to some Hindu mythological accounts, Krishna obtained the diamond from Jambavantha, whose daughter Jambavati later married Krishna. The legend says that the diamond was from the Sun God to Satrajith (father of Satyabhama) which produces 1000 kg of gold daily. Krishna got the blame of stealing the diamond from Satrajith's brother who is killed by a lion which in turn was killed by Jambavantha. Satrajith had alleged that "Krishna probably killed my brother, who went to the forest wearing the jewel on his neck." Krishna, to restore his reputation, fought a fierce battle with Jambavan and gave the stone back to Satrajith. Now being ashamed with himself Satrajith offered his daughter's hand to Krishna along with the stone. Krishna accepted his daughter Satyabhama's hand but refused to take the Syamantaka.


Historical evidence suggests that the Kohinoor originated in the Guntur region of Kakatiya kingdom, in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, one of the world's earliest diamond producing regions. This region was the only known source for diamonds until 1730 when diamonds were discovered in Brazil. The term "Golconda" diamond has come to define diamonds of the finest white color, clarity and transparency. They are very rare and highly sought after.

The diamond was mined in the Kollur mines near the village Paritala in the present day Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh.The diamond became the property of Kakatiya kings. The Khilji dynasty at Delhi ended in 1320 A.D. and Ghiyas ud din Tughluq Shah I ascended the Delhi throne. Tughlaq sent his commander Ulugh Khan in 1323 to defeat the Kakatiya king Prataparudra. Ulugh Khan’s raid was repulsed but he returned in a month with a larger and determined army. The unprepared army of Kakatiya was defeated. The loot, plunder and destruction of Orugallu (present day Warangal), the capital of Kakatiya Kingdom, continued for months. Loads of gold, diamonds, pearls and ivory were carried away to Delhi on elephants, horses and camels. The Koh-i-noor diamond was part of the bounty. From then onwards, the stone passed through the hands of successive rulers of the Delhi sultanate, finally passing to Babur, the first Mughal emperor, in 1526.

The curse of the Koh-i-Noor

It is believed that the Koh-i-Noor carries with it a curse and only when in the possession of a woman will the curse not work. All the men who owned it have either lost their throne or had other misfortunes befall them. The British are wary of this curse and so far, only Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth have adorned the gem as sovereigns. Since Queen Victoria the diamond has always gone to the wife of the male heir to the throne.

The possibility of a curse pertaining to ownership of the diamond dates back to a Hindu text relating to the first authenticated appearance of the diamond in 1306: "He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity."

PLANNING COMMISION MEMBER SUPPORT TELANGANA

Demand for Telangana justified: Mungekar
By Express News Service
07 Mar 2010 06:06:00 AM IST

HYDERABAD: The demand for separate Telangana was legitimate and justifiable, former member of Planning Commission Prof Balachander Mungekar has said. Disapproving of one-language and one-State theory, he said that Dr BR Ambedkar too did not agree with it.

Delievering the 14th Prof G Ram Reddy Memorial Lecture at the Centre for Economics and Social Studies (CESS) on `Regional dimensions of new economic paradigm: The case for Telangana' here today, Mungekar, quoting statistics extensively indicating the underdevelopment of Telangana, said that when justice was denied in the combined State development, the people would articulate their demand for a separate identity on the basis of region, caste, ethnicity or language.
Mungekar said that if the present system of development was pursued further there would be demands for smaller states. In the next ten years there would demands for 50 to 55 states in the country, he added.

He also dismissed the argument that whether the separate State was viable or not. When the country fought for independence, it was mostly under monarchy rule or anarchic or in the kingship and there was no democracy, he pointed out.

Drawing comparison between Vidharbha and Telangana, Mungekar said that the development in both the regions was uneven and unequal with the rest of the Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
Quoting the SRC report, Mungekar termed Vidharbha and Telangana as the internal colonies of their respective states.
The one-language, one-state theory was neither justifiable nor practicable, he said citing the example of several states with Hindi- speaking people.

As per the 2003-04 statistics, Telangana had contributed 75 per cent of the total State's sales tax, 2/3rd of the excise duty and 30 per cent of the Forex. Though 68 per cent of Krishna and 69 per cent of Godavari rivers were in Telangana region, the share in water to Telangana was very small.

Of the 38 lakh acres irrigated area under Krishna, only five lakh acres were in Telangana, he said.

He said that 74 per cent of Krishna water was made available to Coastal Andhra people. Though the contribution of agriculture to GSDP was only 23 per cent, the river water share was important as large number of people dependent on agriculture, he pointed out.
Saying that similar injustice was done to Vidharbha, Mungekar said that though the cotton was grown more in the region, 95 per cent textile industries were situated outside Vidharbha. The orange-processing units were also minimal in Vidharbha when compared to other parts of the State, he said.

On the education front, he said that of the 21 universities in AP only one was in the Telangana region. He said that though Hyderabad had 10 universities, no one should consider Telangana people were benefited because Hyderabad was part of Telangana.
The development of Hyderabad took place because of the metropolis development pursued in the last 20 years by the Centre. The educational institutions were not accessible to Telangana people practically, he noted.

Out of 15 lakh jobs in the State, the Telangana got only three lakh jobs.

As per the population, the Telangana people deserved at least 30 to 40 per cent jobs, Mungekar felt. Of the 23 district collectors in the State, none belongs to Telangana and out of 433 departmental heads' posts only seven to eight comes from Telangana.

Observing that the Telangana dialect was not found in the textbooks as it was considered inferior, Mungekar said that this type of cultural sub-ordination and feeling of discrimination leads to the demand for separate states.

He, however, advised the T-protagonists, to continue their fight till the State was carved out in a democratic and non-violent manner. Otherwise, the ruling class would inject violence and impose instruments of agitation, he cautioned.

He suggested that once Telangana was realised, the Telanana people, hitherto treated as secondclass citizens, should not pursue the same to the oppressed classes in the separate State.

Prof Hara Gopal said that Mungekar's views were considered as impartial as he was an outsider.

Prof G Ram Reddy Memorial Trust chairperson Prof Ch Hanumantha Rao was in the chair.

FAZAL ALI TELANGANA SHOULD BE SEPERATE

State Reorganisation Commission (SRC,1955) headed by Justice Fazal Ali has recommended that Telangana area shall continue as a separate state.

ANDHRA STATE IN 1956
