Telangana??? What After that??

People (innocent Osmania University students egged on by the political leaders???) are fighting for a separate Telangana state. Was the ruckus of demand for a separate state politically driven or common man driven? That is a highly debatable question. Now lets assume that the demand is very reasonable and the separate state has been formed. What after that? Does that mean all our problems will be resolved? Will every student who is fighting for this cause end up with a well paid job (both Government and private) irrespective of the required skill set? Will the omni-present corruption ( so unselfishly being fought against by Mr Anna Hazare) vanish for ever? Will the political leaders change in to sadhus and think about the well-being of the people all of a sudden? Will the dry farm lands of Telangana become well-irrigated overnight?

I really dont think so...The only thing that would happen according to me is that new kings will take charge and same story of cat and mouse (in this case the politicians and common man) will repeat itself over and over again till this system is completely rotten beyond any chance of resurrection. Ok fine!!! lets trust these so called babus. They tell that if Telangana is formed, Krishna waters will be with us in its entirity. If that is true then why is our state dilly-dallying this issue in front of the tribunal for all these years? Will Telangana achieve what our entire state put together has not been able to achieve for so long? I doubt it.

Forget about the natural resources. Lets consider something that is in our control. The political leaders are promising our students that everybody will be employed after the state formation. I really want to know from where will the jobs come? If only all the Government jobs were filled all this while in AP, our employment rate would not be so dismal. Even if we are made to think that everyone will be given jobs, can we safely assume that it will be done free of any bribe? Now what about private jobs? If the jobs in private sector are made compulsory for all the Telangana students then will that mean companies will recruit even if they dont have the required qualification or skillset. I doubt if any company would stay with so many restrictions in this world of liberalisation. The growing Telangana agitation along with bandhs and strikes has already caused many companies to go to other cities. Hyderabad, once competing with metro cities like Bangalore (When Chandrababu naidu was at the helm) in IT has fallen in standards so much that even tier II cities like Baroda are performing better. Will the emergence of Telangana cause even more decline has to be seen?

Many questions and less answers. Will these questions remain questions for ever?? That is another question. I only have a single and simple answer. Enough of distruction and instability. As they say it, together we stay and together we grow. Lets make it a point to put all these things behind and strive for a progressive state. For once lets forget all the differences and work for the development of this state. That would yield more results.
