KCR saar has now threatened to bury journalists and break their necks if they insulted telangana culture.

He is now the overall lord of Telangana. Anybody opposes him, he says they are insulting Telangana people and culture and are backing andhra capitalists.

Now Whole of Telangana has become his jagir. Any perceived disrespect will be punished. The guy is really delusional.

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Wednesday threatened to bury the media "ten feet under the earth" if they continue to insult the newly-carved out state. Three months into his term as Chief Minister of India's youngest state Telangana, K Chandrasekhar Rao is at loggerheads with journalists, who have accused him of trying to "gag the press."

"Those who insult Telangana, its existence and prestige, will be buried 10 feet under the earth," said KCR, as he is popularly known, while addressing a gathering after garlanding a statue of Kaloji Narayana Rao, a renown poet and literary critic, commemorating his birth centenary, at Nakkalagutta in the district.

KCR's statement came close on the heels of the Association of Telangana Multiple System Operators (cable TV operators) blocking the transmission of TV channels ABN Andhra Jyothi and TV 9 since June 16, alleging that they had aired programmes "denigrating the Telangana dialect, sentiment and feelings" of the people of the state. "I salute multiple system operators who stopped transmission of the two television channels. If they (TV channels) do not mend their attitude, I will teach them a lesson," the chief minister said.

TV9 has apologised for a satire on the Chief Minister and his ministers that it aired; ABN Andhra Jyothi said it has aired no offensive content and will not apologise and also claims that it is being targeted for exposing alleged misdeeds of ruling party members.

"We will bury them some 10 km. We won't hesitate to break their neck and then throw them out," KCR said in a public speech yesterday, adding that "If they want to operate here, they should salute and respect the people of Telangana.''

Now They have caught 15 Engineering Students including a girl who ran away to Bengal to join ISIS. Why are all these vermin crawling to Bengal. May be there is a ISIS recruiter in Calcutta, who is transferring money to the accounts of these Kids

These kids probably dont understand the value of their happy, comfortable lives they are leading in Hyderabad. We should have thread to track all these terror hot spots in India

http://deccan-journal.com/content/15-en ... -join-isis

Hyderabad: 15 Hyderabad Students including a girl were caught by Telangana police in West Bengal, after getting complaints from their parents. These students had run away from their homes to join ISIS and fight alongside them in Iraq and Syria.

Police sources said their investigations have revealed the outreach of the Islamist jihadists in the country was greater than previously thought. Initially the police caught only 2 of the students and did not arrest them, but kept on talking to them and they revealed the names of other students including the girl who said that she wanted to join ISIS in Iraq.

The ISIS, which has changed its name to Islamic State, wishes to establish a caliphate through jihad. To go global, it has been trying to attract Muslims from across the world to join its so-called jihad.

Cops have identified one student from Karimnagar who was the brains. He had floated the "jihad" idea to his friends through social networking sites. Among those he was able to influence was a relative of former SIMI operative from the city accused in a terror case.

The group was in regular touch through code language. As suggested by the Karimnagar boy, the other group members got passports. Some also received money from unidentified sources. The amount sent to them was in the range of about Rs 3.5 lakh.

"We spoke to the boys and their parents and counselled them against getting involved with ISIS. But we won't leave things at that. They're being probed and we'd like to know who sent them money," said a cop.

Be positive. Nothing like that will happen. At least for Vizag, it is booming and not mafia type. Watch the fun in two districts Krishna and Guntur. My projection - India haven't seen yet such a stuff

Basically the strategy is 3 Hyderabad sized cities are being built as a result of this bifurcation. The population is all living with "kasi" (motivation) and want to prove. The farmer, admin, political setup are all with same fervor.

My younger brother's 10th class reunion after about 20 yrs, decided to start a new company. The profile of the team is amazing (one collonel, one orthopedic surgeon, one hotelier, number of DOOs and one owner of huge hospital and three docs). The government is creating right environment for growth. This is school from suburban Vijayawada in VTPS colony and was managed by Ramakrishna mission. So many toppers and achievers.

The state will take advantage of every avenue. Huge private money, anything that comes from lobbying with center, tax free corridors and every approach in the book.

KCR Targets The Media - Should He Apologise?

http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/left-r ... eststories

That Kavitha starts the interview with Kashmir again and talks everything expect the specific allegations on ABN channel.

Meanwhile, her father Nizam pasand KCR names Hyderabad Metro Rail Mascot as "Niz" (no guesses why he choose that ridiculous name).

Hyderabad Metro Rail Mascot is Niz

The Niz, which is apparently taken from the word Nizam, the erstwhile ruler of Hyderabad, was launched by the Telangana Chief Secretary, Rajeev Sharma. The character of the Niz belongs to the ancestry of Nizam but yet he is educated abroad and extremely progressive, and equally comfortable with both the Hyderabadi culture and the western lifestyle. Niz can sprinkle the story of the City of Pearls with anecdotes of generosity and tehzeeb of the Hyderabadi people, the food and the dance forms.

I believe it is actually Farsi, which entered Telugu back in the Qutb Shahi days, before the Asaf Jahi Nizams, along with "rOju", "jama", "kharchu", etc. etc. which are in common usage.

It was used by late MullapuDi Venkata Ramana garu in his Krishna district dialect dialogue for Muthyala Muggu, in which the gangster's "lady" says, "aari ilaakaa leMDi" ("never mind, I am with him") using "ilaakaaa" with the meaning of "taaluku" ("associated with") another Farsi guest-word in Telugu.

KCR is now bullying private schools in Hyderabad to provide free education to Journalists children to curry favor with them after the ABN/TV9 fiasco. This will also backfire again.

Telangana education department orders schools to give free education to journalists' children under RTE

The district education officer in the state capital Hyderabad has directed private recognized school managements of Hyderabad district to provide free education to the children of journalists working in Hyderabad.Some journalist unions had written to the department saying they were unable to pay fee as they are below poverty line and requested admission of their children in schools under RTE which entitles them free education.

Naidu (short for Nayakudu or Nayaka) or Reddy are titles like Raju or Sharma.

For example:

Reddy can be Kapu Reddy, Kamma, Velama, or Konda Reddy (ST)

In the last century, Reddy title became a caste by subsuming all subcastes (kapu, motati, velnati etc) that used Reddy title in the past. Kammas started using Choudhary in KG delta places but continued using Naidu in South of Guntur district and Rayalaseema. Kapu Naidus and Balija Naidus still use Naidu title. Velamas still use Naidu in Rayalaseema and South Coastal areas.

Kapu, Kamma, Reddy, and Velamas all came from old Kapu communities. They were mostly farmers, small time leaders/warriors, and village heads.

Could you be able to put a chronological change or these names.

Is it Nayakas -> legacy Kapus -> Reddys, Kapu, Kamma -> Reddy, Kapu, Kamma, Velama -> (sub clan splits <I am always lost here> )

KCR has zero mantra to show. There is substantial TG population who think 100% of their problems are only due to Andhras. If Andhras are tackled there will be some great glory. He will keep that though alive as long as possible and extend that thought. In the process, there will no tangible/visible development of TG. It is already built into TG psyche that Nizam time was prosperous time than independent India times. If you confront with logic then the TG folks will agree a lot with you but in their own enclaves they talk of need-for-TG-BSF to tackle Andhras.

Today if there is an election in TG, TRS will get a bigger landslide than what they got. TRS is the darling of TG and I agree with TRS==TG and all disagreements to this are hot air.

What apparently happened was KCR was given a dress down by Modi and central cabinet and did not promise a zlitch of what he asked. He was warned for all the anti-legal nuisance he is trying. He came back and realized that there is nothing he can give to TG so to be in power, he again resorted back to anti-Andhra drug which the TG people love as good as opium.

TG will be a joke of butts for the next 5 to 10 years. Minimum five years it will be joke. Enjoy maaadi

Though Medak election is irrelevant for either governments, the result can shed some light on Telangana people's perception of KCR's ever escalating foul language and inciting rhetoric. The general belief is that T people are loving it and he is trying to cash it. We may say that this kind of hatred is destructive and hurts T in the long run, but T intellectuals and analysts, even people like Ganta Chakrapani, are clearly supporting it.

Arnab's interview above with Vinod Kumar was brutal. I've never seen an anchor decimating a panelist that they invited to the program in such a rude fashion. For a TRS leader who is used to intimidating the local media ( i've seen how Vinod Kumar chides Telugu anchors on TV), it is like getting their own medicine back. With this episode, national media is going to put KCR under microscope, and i don't believe any TRS leader will dare to go to any National media anymore.

It all dependent on who their party candidate in Medak. If some good candidate is put up mafia and BJP may give some good show. Wining may not be possible for now. T has surplus budget and TRS will be in a position to drive the hate filled ideas for some more time. Later it will depend on how things on ground improve.

First pilot launch is from Visakhapatnam to Araku valley

Railways to launch glass-domed coaches on scenic routes

The best way to reach Araku Valley in Andhra Pradesh is to take a train from Vishakhapatnam — and it's about to get better. Tourists on this route will be the first in the country to sit inside glass-domed coaches that will allow them to take in the spectacular views along the route.

The train that runs between Vishakhapatnam and Araku will initially have two coaches with windows and roofs made of special shatter-resistant glass to provide an all-round view of the valley to traveller during the four-hour, 130-km journey. Similar services are offered by train operators in Switzerland and the Canadian Rockies.

The picturesque Araku Valley, located at an elevation of about 3,000 feet in the Eastern Ghats, is rich in thick forests and is known for its coffee plantations. An initiative of the Ministry of Tourism, the glassdomed coaches will be available by the end of March 2015 and the project could be replicated on other scenic routes, including between Baramulla and Qazigund in Kashmir Valley.

Andhra Pradesh ranks third in domestic tourism, having drawn more than 15 crore visitors in 2013, according to ministry data, and is next only to Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. The state's main attraction is the pilgrimage centre of Tirupati and lesser known parts such as the Araku Valley will need to be promoted to make initiatives such as the glass-domed train coaches successful.

He ordered officials to take steps to make sure Anna Danam (free offering of food), Vidya Danam (free offering of education) and Prana Danam (free offering of medical care) are conducted on the premises of temples such as Srisailam, Annavaram, Srikalahasthi, Simhachalam, Dwarka Tirumala, Vijayawada Kanaka Durga and Kanipakam.
The services will aim to cater to every section of the society.

Not at all surprised. Was at a function recently, with lots of folks from Telangana. One of the suggestions they (staunch Hindus, but NRIs) were making was that the Nizam family should become governors of Telangana. Funnily enough, all these harebrained suggestions are coming from the younger folk (people in their teens and 20s), not the older people, who have no love lost for the Nizam. Maybe it is time someone with proper knowledge of the history of the region (looking at you, Devesh-ji, and you Muppalla-ji) took the lead telling the truth about the gentle love of the Razakars and the divine paradise of the erstwhile state of Hyderabad. Haven't these people had enough experience with the MIM in Hyderabad? The general narrative is that Hyderabad state was rich and better off than Andhra, but the Andhra elites looted all the wealth, making Telangana poor. So, bringing back Nizam will make the lot of Telangana better.

That's what pseudo secularism can do - generation is brought up on idea that medieval barbarians could pretend to have the right to rule over kufr natives. Post independence, what is the use of hiding the fact that people are free to create wealth and it is people who elect the powerful. The pretenders seem to claim right to define legitimacy of power which belongs to people.

Nageshks: It is no different than some people who grew up in the British ruled India putting British on a pedestal or a few Goans of the bygone era pining longingly for the return of the Portugese. One would see the same in UAE where British are given a lavish welcome even today.

This feeling is born out of Zamindari/Country Squire feudal mentality which is on the way out in most towns and villages. Most of these NRIs are from those families which sold their large land holdings to settle in big cities and were educated in convents like St. Annes, St. Fracnics, LIttle flower, Grammar School, Methodist etc. which are all located near Abids Circle or Babukhan Estate (Basheer Bagh). They are used to thinking that these people had money but were hounded out just like their families were hounded out under Land Ceiling Act and feel that they are superior to the third tier townies and villagers.

They cannot change the situation on the ground. If BJP can (and should) develop a grassroots organization they would be able to ace the next elections. Just being the big shot in Hyderabad/Vizag/Vijayawada/Tirupati is not going to cut it to win elections in AP/TG.

Matrimc, I think you are glossing over the fact that right now KCR and a significant number of TGites dislike Andhras but are bhai-bhai with the razakars. And its not limited to the feudal castes alone. I hope the majority of the people are still sane and don't get taken in by KCR antics. Now that we have a Telangana, I wish the people ask KCR get on with the programme of governing and develop the state. Since one of the main planks of a seperate TG was that it was being denied its just share of water, KCR should prove it by implementing all water schemes and bringing water to every village in TG.
