- P.L.Vishweshwer Rao

The long-suppressed agony of Telangana people is finding expression once again in their aspirations for an independent existence and separate identity. After the great betrayal of 1971, they have once again gathered strength to assert themselves; they are prepared to stake their all for the realisation of their dream to be freed the bondage to the people of coastal Andhra. No movement, no struggle has ever started from the top; from intellectuals, thinkers, political and other leaders, and elected representatives and so on. Inevitably, the struggles begin from the people- the people give expression to their suffering because it is they who are victims of the status quo. The long-dormant hope in the people of Telangana was awakened with the announcement of statehood for Uttarakhand by the then Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda. Within a year it has gathered so much strength that politicians, realising its potential have jumped on to its bandwagon. Such disparate schools of thought as People’s War Group and the Bharatiya Janata Party have supported statehood for Telangana.
