Sarma

I have no guilt nor do I feel superior to anybody. So, only the third option you mention remains. I am some two-bit guy with a small house in Hyderabad, so T or AP makes no material difference to me. I can't comment on the motives of others. My motivation for united AP is entirely about Telugu peopl...

Sarma

^^^ Nobody has so far said one thing insulting or hateful about Telanganaites. So, please drop your grandiose name "Satya_Anveshi", when it seems all you are looking for is to throw invectives at people when they have a different point of view. Sir, there are people who stand for united AP...

Sarma

I was only talking about the 1/3rd T-vadis, not about the Telangana people as a whole. A new political compact is the way forward, where concrete and implementable safeguards (much like the reservations) are agreed upon and carried forward by all political leaders.

Sarma

^^^ RamaY garu: Very logical suggestion on your part. But, there in lies the issue. No logic will convince the current band of T-vadis because these people belong to the original group agitating for T-state since 1956, i.e. since the merger itself. So, if you say development, they will say we never ...

Sarma

Ramana garu: Article 371(D) essentially contains the so-called six-point formula. The main issue is that the six-point formula was followed in letter, but not spirit. That is to say that a number of "settlers" got government jobs in T-districts, based either on certain relaxations agreed t...

Sarma

ShyamSP garu: Only the business interests of the "non-Telangana" parts of AP are being attacked. If you are from any other part of India, exept the so-called Andhra and Rayalseema areas, then it's OK. It is OK to have Chinese restaurants, Udupi hotels, McDonalds, KFC, but oh no, can't have...

Sarma

I am finding it difficult to think that there will be Telangana minus Hyd. Of all the things I have heard here, I have to say, this is the most funniest thing by far. I mean a merger happens, the combined family adores the most sexiest member which happens to be the soul of one of the region , and ...

Sarma

ramana garu, never dared questioning you. I was talking of jaladipc.

Sarma

I am somewhat dubious of those who show up with claims of inside sources, that too in the Union cabinet or Union leadership. After all is said and done, T-state may be formed tomorrow, in 2 days, 2 months, 2 years or never. Nobody, including the top leadership, knows what the final outcome will be. ...

Sarma

Clearly, "Prof." Jayashankar wants Telangana from the beginning, i.e. since 1952, when the wretched costa/seema vultures did not even have the opportunity to "dochukunnaru" Telangana. He always wanted T and could later find "justification" for his agenda. He belongs to ...

Sarma

My Grandfather came to Hyderabad from Amalapuram in the 1950s, right after AP formation I believe. He got a job as a Telugu/Sanskrit Professor in Osmania University in spite of not having "mulki" certificate. He got the job because there was nobody to teach Telugu and Sanskrit in OU, and n...

Sarma

Satya_Anveshi garu: One thing is quite clear. That is: available official statistics leave ample scope to be interpreted either way by you and me, i.e. Telangana development vis a vis other regions by including/excluding Hyderabad or migration or whichever way you want to slice the data. But, one th...

Sarma

Oh Great! First, allegations are made that "Costa" people "devoured" the opportunities from the "Telangana" people. And then, the "Costa" people are asked to prove otherwise?? Why don't those who make the allegations also take the burden of the proof, instead ...

Sarma

MilindC garu: Yes, I understand the "point" Satya_Anveshi garu is getting at. Migration or not, comparing Telangana's statistics (excluding Telangana's biggest metropolis and urban conglomerate) to other regions's statistics (including the biggest urban conglomerates in them) is simply unf...

Sarma

If one wants to exclude Hyderabad from the calculations of Telangana's progress, whichever way one wants to do it, then by the same logic, one should exclude Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada and Guntur from the "progress of coastal andhra." How does it matter if the people who migrated to a city ...

Sarma

S_A, please please you read the table wrong and now you are turning the tables on the author. Chakravarthy has said he got the information through the RTI act. You are free to write to him on his blog, and he has encouraged people to do so. I would highly encourage you to read Undavalli Arunakumar's...

Sarma

Satya_Anveshi :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: about your reading of the table data: Notice the row 3 and 4: Students/100 people: 6 - Nizam Telangana - 1956 Student/100 people: 5 - Nizam Telangana (minus Hyd) - 1956 The above DOES NOT mean there was 1/100 student in Hyderabad in 1956. Simple mathematics you ...

Sarma

Removed. See reply below.

Sarma

I think it's time hardcore T-ideologues to start collecting a million dollars to transfer (by money2india) to KCR's account so that he can build an air-conditioned 3rd Floor in the T-Bhavan (in Jubilee Hills) and an additional annexe to the T-Bhavan. KCR needs to do this so that he can carry on the ...

Sarma

ramana garu, this 1/3rd I refer to are the real movers and shakers of the Telangana region. They are the erstwhile Patels and Patwaris. Just see how the T movement is dominated by two castes, who were the Patels and Patwaris (sorry for bringing in the caste aspect). Just like the Paki movement was d...

Sarma

In my understanding, this is the problem with the current situation in the Telugu-speaking districts of the erstwhile Hyderabad State (the so-called Telangana districts). Back even in 1956, while 2/3rds of the Hyderabad State assembly passed the merger (with the Andhra State) resolution, there was a...

Admins:

I request you humbly to delete the above post by Anuj, which is just cutting and pasting hate messages from other blogs on to this forum, where we value reasoned discussions.

Thanks
Sarma

Sarma

With a heavy, but relaxed, heart, I have to say that the Telangana divide seems to have taken an irreversible turn. Rowdyism seems to be the favorite approach to achieve the T-state. As before, I am deeply saddened both by the opportunistic role of the BJP and the goondaism of the ABVP. Yesterday, t...

Sarma

Muppalla: Meeku cheppe anthati vadini kanu (in Telugu, not bright enough to advise you), I would say give up arguing with the likes of goutham. For someone suffering from a sense of deprivation, there is no way one can convince such people. All logic in this world will not convince them.

Sarma

goutham, don't you find nothing wrong when KCR praises Nizam? What happened to all the sacrifices of the Telangana people fighting against Nizam? You keep talking of facts, what about KCR praising Nizam who killed thousands of Telangana people? This is the Pakiness of KCR. His Pakiness is not solely...

Sarma

Rony exactly. A page earlier on this thread, I was comparing KCR to another leader, whom I did not name. I was referring to Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who put forward the same logic as KCR is doing now. That is: somehow muslims were suppressed by the Hindus and will be suppressed in an united India. KCR i...

Sarma

Sridhar, thank you for pointing that the Nagarjuna Sagar dam was conceptualized by the Planning Commission. This is the problem with the argument of the Telagana separatists that the people from the rest of the region have robbed them literally of their resources. They advance no scientific argument...

Sarma

Phew! Andhra Pradesh survives for now! KCR cannot survive as a leader without the support of the Central Government of India, and the Central Congress leadership. I am not going to say it, but KCR reminds me of another leader, who lacked political base, but was propped up by the government, one who ...

Sarma

Is it Hamid Gul, who is supposed to be the General Sahib referred to in Kasab's conversations with his Paki handlers during siege.

Sarma

I wouldn't count what Johann said about Mao's "lack of dynastic impulses" as among his virtues. Mao was a self-obsessed maniac, and couldn't think of anyone else but himself, his absolute power and his carnal pleasures.

Sarma

Much currency is being given in the media, needlessly, to whether Brajesh Mishra took a voice vote or not. This is not the crux of the matter. What is far more important is that Mishra concedes there was a dispute regarding the yields and that he accepted what RC, Kalam and other big guns have said....

Sarma

The yield could have been just 25kT (i.e. much less than the design value) and still cause all the damage that was observed in Khetolai. That is the point I was trying to make. That there was damage beyond what was expected is not sufficient to show that the yield was the design value. Like I said, ...

Sarma

ramana garu: Your conjecture, based on K Santhanam's talk at IDSA, about Brajesh Mishra dropping the ball completely has been borne out perfectly. This guy orders a "voice vote" and based on that vote, says everything is fine and dandy. No wonder he supported IUCNA blindly from the beginni...

Sarma

The "major damage" at Khetolai could have been caused by a semi-successful TN weapon as well. The 25kT that S-1 is supposed to have yielded could have been sufficient to cause damage at Khetolai. After all, damage calculations would have involved some "coefficients" and even a sm...

Sarma

Suraj, your argument about NPAs is incorrect and misleading. We are talking about half of the Indian scientific community (i.e. the DRDO side and others) doubting the yield of Shakti-I. Nobody has even mentioned NPAs in this thread. There should be unanimity among BARC, DAE, DRDO, Services and other...

Sarma

I have to appreciate Sri K. Santhanam for coming out into the open and writing his op-ed piece. It is written in poor English and could have used some editing by The Hindu to make it a real convincing piece. That aside, I think he has directly addressed two criticisms levelled against him: (1) Sri S...

Sarma

Arun_S Sirji: I wasn't aiming my message at anybody in particular. BTW, Brajesh Mishra, in a recent Hindu interview, says that a review was conducted after the tests and it was concluded in that review that DRDO instrumentation malfunctioned. I know you mean well. I am just a confused and uninformed...

Sarma

Two points I would like to make. I am not drawing any conclusions myself from them. (1) It is curious to note that Sri K. Santhanam is not an author even on a single paper among the series of papers published by the BARC scientists from 1998 onwards. This seems to indicate that he is/was not in the ...

Sarma

Vera_k: That is not my comment. It is a quote from the article by RC. Please read it. Yes, 1-stage and 2-stage split up of the total yield will matter. FYI, K Santhanam is only questioning the 2-stage yield.

Sarma

It may be useful to read RC's 2002 article on the nuclear tests. The link for this article is http://www.southasiaanalysis.org/papers5/paper451.html There are many important nuggests in this article. IMO, a complete reading of the article may be warranted. For convenience, I am posting a few importa...
