Will Telegana will get a Consensus?

A set of people with a set of cultural ethos is entitled to its own government. Any violation of this natural law amounts to denial of sovereignty. For example, marrying one’s sister’s daughter is a common practice in Andhra while a sister’s daughter is treated as a daughter in Telangana. This is a glaring example of the cultural differences, which obtain between the peoples of Andhra and Telangana. * Though the language spoken by both the Andhraites and Telanganites is called Telugu and is mostly similar, the two Telugus are different. The way it is spoken is different. In fact, most of the language is not understood by each other, unless one is used to it for sometime. * Smaller states are better for people as well as governments in terms of accessibility and distribution of resources. * Three States, viz, Uttaranchal, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, were created recently on the basis of the foregoing criteria and they are doing very well. * The demand for Telangana state is the oldest of such demands throughout the country. Similar demands obtain in respect of Vidarbha, Bundelkhand and Ghorkhaland. The Congress Party is in favour of a separate Bundelkhand state. * Andhraites need not masquerade themselves as Telanganites while they are in Telangana. They can proudly live as Andhraites, follow their culture, language and lifestyle, which are different from that of Telangana
