Regionalism gone berserk: Change Hyderabad name to Bhagyanagar

kinnera wrote:True. Hyderabad, and many regions in hyd are reminiscent of the Nizam rule. Ppl of Telangana had it really bad under the Nizams' rule and so don't want the name that remind them of the tyrant muslim rule. It's not regionalism to ask for a name change. But....no one will have the guts to do it as it's going to 'offend' the muslims in Hyderabad.



I don't like Bhagyanagar either because it is a name that took after the wife/paramour/second...third...or n th set-up of a nizam prince.

The Telangana leader K. Chandrasekhar Rao (leader of TRS party) happens to disagree with you:

What about Hyderabad?
Hyderabad has been the capital of Telangana for a thousand years. Nobody can change that.

Many say since thousands of crores of rupees have been spent on developing Hyderabad, you cannot lay sole claim to it.
Tell
them to show me development. Everything here has been developed by the
Nizam. They have done nothing. When Telangana was a separate state
Hyderabad was the 6^th largest city in the country. Today it
is not in that position. Bangalore has gone ahead. So have other cities.
And they are saying they have developed it. All of them are fools.

When did KCR's ramblings become gospels of truth? That guy doesn't want to give credit to non-telanganites who developed Hyd to what it is today. Hence the stupid rhetoric.
