RE: seeking justice

I simpathize with the plight of the farmers and poor in Telangana, I also
would like to remind as many farmers died due to suicides in so called
fertile Andhra region and Rayalaseema region. It is unfortunate that during
drought farmers are resorting this due to abject poverty. Damn it! it is
still the drought that is the reason and nothing else.

Other than Krishna, part of Guntur and Godavari districts all other
districts in AP are water scarcity districts. In some districts it is accute
and in some other districts has water for drinking.

This video is just propganda material. It has cloogy logic by just taking
the negative side of the story. There are many positive things that happened
to Telangana since independence.

While the video takes the examples of Mahaboobnagar district, it forgets to
take the examples of development happended to districts like Rangareddy,
Nizamabad and Khammam(This is almost as fertile as Krishna dt.). Warangal is
also moderately developed.

It also forgets to compare the industral strengths of Telangana to even so
called rich Andhra. Roughly 50% of the AP's industrialization happened in
Telangana region.

Read the 2020 vision by Abdul Kalam. As per research, the water is limited
no matter what we do. The maximum we can do is distribute it evenly and
manage it properly. This really takes time. It took more than 50 years in
most developed nations.

The bottomline is to maximize the industrilization and discorage the
population from dependence on Agriculture as a long term plan and on a short
term help the farmers with subsidies and group farming. There should be
serious discouragement of going for cash crops by small farmers. Also
farming should be corprotized with shares and investments etc.

There are political failures across the state and country as well w.r.t
farming. There are deaths in West Godavari district too. Maharastra, Orissa
are also affected due to drought. Unfortunately farmers died everywhere.

This is cheap propaganda of targeting the another regions innocent people
for the plight of the poor in one region who all in the end has blood
relations since ages.

I would love to see any propaganda that unites people even in distress
rather that that divides. This is pure cheap from educated folks.

I hope after doing such a great strides in education people from AP will
rise against the sectarian stupidity and find solutions to the problems.
