    / September 20, 2011 / 4 Comments
    By K Chandrasekhar Rao This is an agitation by the people of Telangana. All the 7.5 lakh employees, belonging to various departments of the government are directly participating in the agitation. Workers of Singareni Colleries are on  strike as well and so are the RTC employees. In a day or...

    Times are turbulent, at least in this part of the world. Telangana is on the boil once again, with government organizations in non-cooperation mode. The sentiment obviously did not originate yesterday. It has its roots in decades old discrimination and exploitation. And the last one and a half years have...

    By Prof K Nageshwar   The more I see the movement led by Anna Hazare, the more I am convinced that there are important lessons in it for the Telangana movement in Andhra Pradesh. It is very evident that the civil society initiative is very high in the Anna-led movement...

    By Kinnera Murthy   I am most disturbed with the call given by a senior leader of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, MLA Harish Rao to school children and teachers in the Telangana region to tear out the page of the poem ‘Maa Telugu Talli’ from their books.   I fail...

    By Raamesh Gowri Raghavan Andhra Pradesh politics has turned radioactive over the past one and a half years (perhaps because of the uranium deposits discovered in Pulivendula). Angels will baulk and fools will rush into it – as our Harvard-educated P. Chidambaram can testify. So why am I getting into...

    / July 26, 2011 / 4 Comments
    By Uma Sudhir The marriage invitation card caught my attention because it was shaped like a map, the outline of which is becoming increasingly familiar. It was a loud political proclamation of a deep, heartfelt passion. On the red card was printed `laggam pilupu’, or marriage invitation, and the details...

    By Uma Sudhir I first saw it inside the hospital complex at Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad in December 2009, when TRS leader K Chandrasekhar Rao was on fast inside NIMS. The Andhra Bank counter there was rechristened as `Telangana Bank’ by pro-statehood votaries. Now as the...

    By Prof K Nageshwar With Andhra Pradesh assembly speaker Nadlenda Manohar rejecting the resignations of the 101 Telangana MLAs, it is back to square one. But a second round of resignations has begun with the TRS MLAs taking the lead and the Telugu Desam MLAs mulling moving court against the...
