The day before yesterday, our Dhobhi was saying to me, "Saaroo, mee andhra vaallantha Vellipondi, maaku maa Telangana ichcheyyandi", my wife was teasing with him, saying, "What about me?", his reply was "meeru kooda vellipondi, ee illu vidichi Vellipondi, mee Andhra ke vellipondi". My wife was shocked, she inquired with our neighbours about his behavior, it was the same thing he was uttering there too. In fact, he has been working for the past 6 years,and he never used to talk to me. We live in a pretty secure Apartment, in a posh area.
Though I am from Andhra, my Wife and my FIL were born and brought up in Hyderabad. But somehow one can make out that their ancestors are from Andhra. My FIL meets with a lot of people due to professional reasons, and he was threatened to be killed, if he ever talks about Hyderabad. They dont accept him as Telanganite, though he has Domicile (Mulky) certificate, and thoroughly was brought up in Hyderabad.
He says that he never experienced to see such a hatred in people in the last 50 years, On one hand KCR is saying "We are against Violence" and on the other hand his party workers are beating Andhra and Rayalaseema people on the Streets, the ordinary people are into fights now. Even ordinary Students, who have been born in 1990's are saying that they are the victims of Andhra People, would be threshold after which there will be systematic violence. I know one family of 4 brothers, whose father was killed in front of their eyes, by Razakars in 1940's and I suspect their Mother was molested in front of their eyes, but they dont say that, but even today they prey to her so religiously. Such as situation may soon arise in Hyderabad. I think these are early signs.
Could any Gurus suggest how to keep a low profile and be safe in such a violent situations. I lost complete faith on the Administration. I dont even have a Revolver or something like that to protect my family in such situations. When a mob attacks your house, it will be very difficult to defend. But "When ?" is the question.
That is the attitude as we have seen from some posters here.
The general consensus among these people is that:
We will evict all Andhras and occupy their flats.
We will throw them out of their jobs and we will take over their jobs.
We will take over their lands.
I was enlightened by my sister-in-law (Telanganite) who is a doctor that buying land anywhere in India is not legal. She said something like "You can't buy land anywhere you want.". She has no problem in buying a flat in B'lore though.
This does not seem to have any meaning for them:

By the way Venkari, how dare you quote the constitution and insult/condescend Telanganas? Are you from Kosta?
I did not have any problem with Telangana state. I thought if they can come up with a formula to share Hyderabad revenues for some time, it would be good for all. But as I look at the deteriorating situation, Hyderabad as UT for a period of 15-20 years before transferring to Telanagna seems like a valid proposition to control mobs ... or Telugu Razakars.
