Two States - Hyderabad and Telangana?

Hyderabad State/UT should be formed out of GHMC for making Separate Telangana State a reality. But the revenue of Hyderabad State/UT should be shared with Telangana State.

While creating smaller states across the nation, cities with more than 60 lakhs population should be made separate states (or) union territories with a condition of revenue sharing with the mother state (or) state-regions.

As you all know, our country is virtually divided as “India” and “Bharat” mostly based on economic condition. Other dividing factors are the culture, education, opportunities for livelihood/employment (globalization), availability of basic amenities like drinking water, drainage, health care, educational institutions, etc.

In my view, Hyderabad represents “India” and the remaing Telangana represents “Bharat”.

“India” and “Bharat” have got very different SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats). The bigger Threats “India” got are Terrorist Attacks and Excess Population & Environment Pollution. Where as the bigger Threats “Bharat” got are Poverty and Illiteracy & unemployment (lack of quality education & livelihood ). Bigger Opportunities for “India” are Educated & Skilled work force and Global Market place. Bigger Opportunities for “Bharat” are Natural Resources (fertile farm lands, water bodies and mineral deposits) and under-utilized & unskilled Human Resources.

One of the examples for “India” and “Bharat” concept is Mumbai & Vidharbha
- Mumbai’s 26/11 terrorist attack and inefficient/inadequate administration & government.
- Vidharbha’s agriculture & farmer suicides in last 5-10years period and step-motherly treatment of Maharastra government.

For any state to develop and to have an efficient & effective administration, it has to device govt. policies and administrative priorities according to its own unique SWOT . Hyderabad and Telangana need entirely different govt. policies and administrative priorities.

Hence, I personally prefer the creation of two administrative entities – Hyderabad State/UT and Telangana State - out of our Telangana region. Otherwise, the old exploitation story will continue as most of the exploiters (irrespective of the regions) have already settled in Hyderabad.

Hope I made some sense. Look forward to hear the views and thoughts of the readers of the blog on this subject
