The casual and arbitrary approach of the Union Government, short-term vote-bank politics of parties and shameless political duplicity have led to a wholly avoidable crisis over Telangana, says JAYAPRAKASH NARAYAN.
Suddenly, the State of Andhra Pradesh and the whole nation are in turmoil. The tranquil climate, so vital for economic prosperity at a time of tough global challenges and great opportunities, has been vitiated by the pursuit of vote-banks and the arousing of primordial loyalties.
Politicians playing with fire have now opened the Pandora’s Box and have sown the seeds of discord in many pockets of India. A dangerous message has gone out: Elections, constitutional process, reasoned and healthy public discourse are not important; indulge in rabble-rousing, promote violence and obstruction, and the government will yield.
To understand the tumult in Andhra Pradesh now, one should imagine what would happen in Tamil Nadu if a new state of North Tamil Nadu, along with Chennai, is carved out; or the consternation in Karnataka if South Karnataka with Bengaluru is carved out as a separate State.
For the first time, a region with a large capital city wants to separate as a State. So far, every demand for a new State has been from far-flung areas away from the State capital. Hyderabad is not just another city. It is on par with Chennai and Bengaluru, and with 85 lakh people, accounts for over 25 per cent of the population of Telangana and 60 per cent of the economy of the region. Millions from all over the country and the various regions of AP have made it their home.
Every significant political, business or civil society leader has made Hyderabad home, and is emotionally attached to the city, even if the political base may be elsewhere. In such a situation, the all-too-casual approach to separate Statehood is calamitous.
The Indian nation is still in the making. Indira Gandhi was both powerful and, on occasion, autocratic. But even when her party had monopoly of power, she understood the fragility of the nation and worked hard to find a compromise on demands for Statehood.
Two major agitations for separate Statehood shook Andhra Pradesh — in Telangana in 1969, and in the Andhra region in 1973. Indira Gandhi had complete political sway over the whole State without any challenge, and yet she recognised and stated that if each group of districts, or sub-region, wants separate Statehood, eventually every district would become a State and the nation would be ungovernable. At that time, the population of Hyderabad was 10 lakh.
Once the Congress government in Delhi amended the Constitution (32nd Amendment), inserted Article 371-D, and hammered out a six-point formula to protect the interests of Telangana, there was peace and quiet for over 30 years. Hyderabad grew very rapidly and became a major economic hub. And now, again, the casual and arbitrary approach of the union government, short-term vote bank politics of parties and shameless political duplicity have led to a wholly avoidable crisis, that has further undermined the eroding legitimacy of politics and parties.
There are serious economic issues to be examined on the issue of carving out a separate State in Andhra Pradesh. First, the capital city is a serious bone of contention, and once people and investors lose faith in the future, it will decline rapidly.
This will hurt both Andhra Pradesh and India, because large cities are now important clusters of growth, and if a Mumbai or Delhi faces economic hardship, the whole nation will be impacted by the fallout.
Second, parts of the coastal region are agriculturally well-developed and have resources and surpluses. For instance, the coastal region generates surplus revenues in the power sector, and is subsidising power for farmers in Telangana and Rayalaseema. A separate State will be burdened by an unviable power sector.
Costal regions are always engines of growth all over the world. Telangana is land-locked, and losing the costal region would retard growth and opportunities. Again, this is the first time a land-locked region is seeking to separate from the coastal belt. When passions subside, the pain and deprivation will be felt.
Water resources are always a bone of contention in a monsoon-fed country. Even in a relatively well-managed city of Mumbai, enjoying abundant rainfall on the West coast, water riots took a life recently. In a water-starved region, river water disputes will escalate, and sharing of Krishna and Godavari waters will be a nightmare.
In the K-G basin off the Andhra coast, abundant natural gas reserves have recently been found, and are being tapped. Already, there is the challenge of sharing natural resources between the home State and the rest of India, and now Telangana will be further depleted.
Large, unviable lift irrigation projects — at a capital cost of Rs 3-4 lakh per acre and Rs 40,000 per year per acre maintenance cost — have been unwisely proposed in Telangana. They will be a permanent drain on the economy of the region, undermining it without ensuring benefits.
Poverty, backwardness, corruption, lack of opportunity and unemployment are endemic to many of the country’s States and sub-regions. These are caused by failed policies, misgovernance and the politics of plunder, leading to kleptocracy.
Large parts of Telangana and Rayalaseema, most of north coastal Andhra Pradesh, upland areas of delta districts, and many families suffering discrimination by birth in every village — all of them are victims of terrible misgovernance and political failure.
The perpetuation of poverty and under-development is largely the result of the plunder of local politicians and bureaucrats. A change of the State’s name or boundaries or capital will not alter anything.
The need of the hour is to accelerate growth and promote equity and opportunities. What every sub-region of Andhra Pradesh, indeed every part of India, needs is empowerment of people, district governments and third-tier of federalism to help people fulfil their potential.
We cannot use 19th century notions of divisive politics in a 21th century world.
I was about 11 at that time. We have been classmates since from LKG. Somehow, Srikanth an average student has transformed into a ‘very’ good student by then. She used to always top the class and I used to stand second or third mostly. This trend continued from 5th to 7th standard. I was always attracted to girls since from childhood (even more now!!) and used to always try different things to impress them. The fact that I had very little skills in any other departments (still it is the case), I had to rely on my academic performance mostly to impress them and it worked. I used to constantly interact with her regarding homework, notes etc… It was just an excuse and I knew this even at that time. In fact, this was the weapon that worked until my under graduation. We all seek attention in one way or the other and for that you need to be special in some way.
There are two small stories which I would like to share here. During my 6th or 7th standard (I can’t remember exactly) we had a teacher who used to make girls and boys sit next to each other (mixing) rather than girls sitting on one side and boys on the other. Boy oh boy, I liked this idea great time! Initially, I and she were sitting side by side but then for some reason our teacher has asked me to sit in some other place. I felt bad and angry but I had no other choice.
One other time, I saw her with another friend (girl) from our class on the road. I tried to follow her and then eventually decided to give them a surprise. Once I was fairly sure where they were heading I took a shortcut and the plan was intersect their way! I managed to do that, they saw me and she smiled at me. That was a killer! I was happy and heading home. I was so happy that I decided to jump over a small wall/barrier at a shop just for the heck of it. Bang!! It was all blank for a couple of seconds and then I realized that I fell down and my left hand was badly injured. Was on the ground again! People gathered in no time, lifted me up and cleaned my clothes. I knew that something went wrong with my hand but I kept pretending to myself that everything is OK. Next morning I wake up only to find that my hand is swollen big and we knew it broke. Given our financial condition at that time I cursed myself for quite sometime for this stupid action. My first crush indeed cost me!
Most of us changed our schools after 7th standard due to various reasons. I rarely heard about her after that. Back in 2004, accidentally I saw her in Hyderabad. I was excited. Went to her and introduced myself but obviously as it was an accident either of us had any time. We immediately went our ways. Never heard of her ever since…
