The fight, in reality, is for a fair division of revenue and resources (Hyderabad generates the bulk of the revenue for the state). If there is no demand, Sonia will dish out more to Telangana (because she thinks that if she doesn't, she won't get the 17 MPs she is after in Telangana). She already thinks that she won't win a single seat in Andhra/Seema areas. The rumor is that Jagan is released on bail so that he will make people of these two areas think that he is working for them, get elected and join CONwallahs. This way, she thinks that she will have the bulk of the 42 MPs to support her moronic son to be the next PM. She put the coastal area and Rayalaseema in a very disadvantageous position by taking a dramatic decision without addressing important issues that affect these two regions - employment, water sharing, education, medical facilities, IIT, centeral university, various govt. institutions, etc. Politicians of Telangana have given enough hints that they will ensure that the "settlers" won't be happy living in Hyd/Telangana region.

You are right - people of AP should think of developing their own regions. They will do that once the state is split in a fair fashion. The exodus from Hyderabad has already started. For example, 40% of the students in colleges in Hyderabad are not attending classes even though Hyderabad is peaceful. These students are from the coastal/Seema areas. Many of the colleges in Hyderabad will most likely go bankrupt once the state is divided.

your analysis is right on target. division is inevitable. fight is about fair division of resources. sonia's actions put seemandhra people in really weak negotiating position. the agitation gave them some leverage. not much but improved from zero position.

Also, are you suggesting dESa-drOham just to get back at Telangana?

What is this business of building capitals?? A state capital is just the seat of the local government. High time we stopped pampering some city just because all the ministers and babus sit there. Urban development should be equitable across the state and not limited to where the netas and babus sit. This is a good opportunity for SA to tread a new path instead of sticking to this feudal mindset.

Nonsense. It's not as if Telangana's colleges can survive without students from SA.

Haha..why??

Given how the division is being taken in such an emotional rather than rational way, the "pain" would have been the same no matter how long drawn the separation. If anything, the mindless violence and protests would have killed all economic activity over the 5-year period and turned SA into a wasteland. Now, hopefully, those sheep burning buses on the street will come to their senses soon enough.

I only wish the educated, thinking folks on this board would end their breastbeating over this non-issue.
