Chanaakya,
Extension of your logic also means that if a majority of people in present day greater Hyderabad want a separate state for themselves, a new Hyderabad state for example, they should get it, right.

Why is that? Is it because they have retained the Reddy title or is it because of something more profound like "Once a Reddy always a Reddy" There is a big difference between varna-system and castes. There are millions of castes where as there are only four varnas. Castes are more of a li...

YSR and YSJ has very good following and sympathy even in T. T Reddy community has a lot of sympathy for YSJ. It is surprising that the Reddy's (in T and Seema) seem to support YSJ (and YSR before) even though the family is not Hindu and has been converted for several decades and have been actively ...

If T agigators can demand and carve out a seperate state for themselves against the interests of the rest of the people in the state, why not provide the same opportunity to people in Hyderabad who do not want to be a part of Telangana.

Why not carve out a new state for each district in AP.

language based states are a post British construct. I do not get what you mean by this. Do you mean to say that language based states are bad because British didn't govern/rule India this way prior to Independence or that any deviation from how the British governed/ruled us is bad. Language based s...

We would release about 250 million acres of land for other uses. We would also drop water use for agriculture which consume 95% of water in India to 1/4 present level. The question is what do you do with all those redundant farmers and farms. That is why it is imperative that we move the majority o...

RamaY, I think you mis-understood me.

Seperate state or not, I hope that congress is wiped out of present day AP lands in 2014.

If AP is the reason that the chosen one misses out...

The issue has already happened with the failure of gslv f06. Why isn't 120 crore not being invested now to create such a valuable test facility which will pay for itself in the future by preventing future failures. 120 Crores is about 3% of annual isro budget now.

Instead we have the NREGS which perpetuates the poverty cycle, empoys individuals in unproductive work, and does not benefit everyone. Is something like the NREGS the best we can do in 2011?

I disagree with the name change. Why mess with something that works currently and conveys what Pakistan is.

If 3% of our population is in farming, it would mean out of 1.2 billion we have 36 million people employed in agriculture.
