"Offense is the best form of defense.....". This rule applies very good in some sports but not in real life.I want to discuss about the Telangana statehood. When i studied in hyd, i observed the sentiment is very strong among the Telangana people and i should say that every one should respect it. I am not gonna discuss about whether a separate statehood should be granted or not, pro's and con's or possibilities instead i want to discuss the mode of the agitations.
Lets go back to late 1930's and early 1940's when a small issue or conflict of interest between Nehru and Jinnah and how Jinnah had left congress and formed his own Muslim league. Then this muslim league is most prominent in present day Pakistan and Bangladesh and most of its candidates won as MP's during first ever election to parliament. So far so good, however, during 2nd round table conf, Jinnah came up with a separate statehood of west and east pakistan.At that time, every one (including the muslims) objected Jinnah's Idea.But he slowly conveyed to his people (Muslims/Muslim League) that how their interest will be sublimed or narrowed in a Hindu majority state then using this as a cause, because of strong sentiment in the people and agitations, separate pakistan is formed. Good. Now, see the state of the nation and see what the majority of the people believe in. Violence. What i want to say is how agitations had changed the mindset of the people and see now for every reason, small or big, the people of this country believe in is violence..
The same will apply to Telangana and i strongly feel that even if separate statehood is granted, now the people will believe in fast unto death's, protests, agitations to achieve their demands rather than in a peaceful manner and we all know there is no leader like Gandhiji who can control the people and lead them at peace.
Through this blog, i request every leader of Telengana, rather politely, that, use peaceful approaches than violence to achieve the statehood or else when the state is formed, you cant control the people because by then they got used to these agitations etc and even a small issue can create a lot of violence. Ultimately, it will question the existence of the country.....
