GORKHALAND &TELENGANA
State of Confusion


By Sandip C Jain


Whether the dramatic green signal sence by the otherwise honourable Union Minister for Home Affairs Mr.P.Chidarambaran to the people of the Talngana region of Andra Predesh for their demand of demerge, with actually translate into the certain of the treatyNcath state of the Indian Union or whether it will turn out to be gene of the biggest con act pulled out in the Political history of Independent ,still remain a part of the nest Act. Only to will take whether a new state of Telngana will become a reality or whether the midnight of India to the Telegana Rastya Samity was just a play to make its represented K.Chandrashekhara Rao,withdraw his 11 days longer strikes. Teleganas fate appears as lazy and shrouded in mastery as the polices of the control government in matters relating to creation of new states in India.

For the their being of course, all it has managed to do is to set ablaze all there regions of Andra Predesh,Telegana,Rayalaseema and Central Andra Predesh, whch new the Central Governament and the congress party in particular will find extremely different to extinguish to bring this raging infere into control it was only do so at the expense of being scenery escalated itself.
But one thing is for sure the knee-jesk reactions of Central Government in dealing with the latest crises in Telenga has very surly managed to open that panders box which both the central government as well as several state Government hear been trying to keep tightly shunt ever since Independence. Ever since Independence India took shape, demords for separate states home periodically expected across the length & breath of the country. Goorkhaland,Bundelkland,Harit Predesh,Mithalanchal.vidharba,Basol and Bhojpur,kodogut, maru Predesh,Purnmachal ti name a few, have time and again,erupted with demand of a separate state. some of them date book a long long time. Gorkhaland bingone such, tracing its origin back to a petition submitted before the officers of the East India co requesting for “Separation of administration set-ups’ between Bengal and the Darjeeling Hills. History of Independent India has proceed that one born these demands present despite the Central and state government trying them best to quell these legitimate demands, sometimes through entrain means like in the case of DGHC add Boroand Councils but mistily through the shea rmight of the stick .Then agins certain statecerod demands twice those in chattisghar Jarkhand and Uttarhand have been conceded much to the disappointmet and anguish of the other appearts,and also promoting a fresh of life to those demands which are overlooked.
The midnight green signal given by Chirdambaran to TRS for emerge of the Telegana from Andre Predesh has done presently the some, acting like a can of zibeline poured stop a smsnleling log. The demand for Gorkhaland is once again now back on certain stage. While the two demands,Telegana& gorkhaland,might appear on surface to be similar, the fact is that the demand for Telengana was for reemerge from Andra Predesh the demand for Banal .The fact is that Telengana was actually a separate state for were then eight years after India gave Independence before being merged with Andra Predesh in 1955.The history is that immediately after Independence when the various states were created, these was neither a state called Tamil Nadu for a state called Andra Predesh. In 1953 a Telengana Potti Sriramula, supporting the demand by the Telegu speaking people in the state of Madras, for the certain of a suppurate state for themselves meet on a fast on to death. His death separate off sportleous protests all over the state,thenby resulting in the creation of Andra Predesh with none costal district of Madras north of presently Channai and foru distiels of rayalaseema with its caped in kurnoob. This in effect meant at two Telegu speaking State come to be in assistance in India One the nearly created Andra Predesh and send the State of Hydra bad which was perilously under the Nizams perior to Independence. This state of Hydrabad is ronglhly the srea of today Telengana. The first S.R.C (1953) on the fazul Ali commissioner as it was popularly called, arbors recommended that depict the two states shoring the same languages they stonld remain as separate states. But Jawaharlal Nehru unremainful of this recommendation as well as of the passice pretests in the Telengana region, In 1956, rounded the merge of the states of Hyderabad and Andra Predesh , thereby forming present by Andr Predesh.The protest agitation and demand for emerge of Telengana from that very day on 1st Nov 1956 when the stte of present day Andra Predesh was inaugurated. The announcement by Chidambaran was an effect to correct this 53 years old injustice inglucted upon the people of Telegana.
This therefore is fundamental different between the demands rraided in Telegana and the one in the Darjeeling Hills. But there is no damaging the fact that the demand for statehood in the Darjeeling Hills is as legislature and as constitutional as the one in Telengala. Darjeelong Hills was a part of Sikkim and because a portion of banal only by defult after having several matters.Even afterit was attached to the bangle Province during per-Independence days, the Darjeeling Hills were Government bay separate set of rules than those which governmtn the rest of Bangal .So why does Benal always respond with just this patent line “Bongolay Bibhajan hobayna” whenvever confromend with the question of separation of Darjeeling from it?? “kano Habayana??” They don’t have any answered to this. And the Central Government two seems least buttered fueling much resentment amongst the lenders & followers of the Gorkhaland Movement.
Several many rescorchease have made findings that given the size and diversity of India it would only be practiced for India to be divided into another sized stateswhich as experiace has shown are better government and more manageable than larger states. Sikkim .Delhi,Hariyan,Goa and other have proved this aleady.The Indian constititutional too has empoweed the pastime vide its Aside 3(a) to “from a new state by separation of territy from any state or by uniting two or more states or parts of states by writing any territory to a part of any state”.

Why then or what then is it which makes the creation of new states in India such a big and contigous issue?? Actually a weak and insecure central Government appears to the main culptint. And to hide its weakness, all it does it create further confusions with regards to tis politics for gradually statehood. With no clear cut polices or guidance’s sat in place by the central government and arts no transported criteria’s visible, several money as parts are compared to believe that the Central Government only understand the language of violence.

Lets hop the leader of this hitherto family peaceful movement for a separate state for the Darjeeling Hill area too don’t fall into this trap this time around too.
