. History recorded the events how Andhraites were
literally thrown off from Madras region. This is perhaps not the first time nor
the Last time for Andhraites who got kicks on their backyards.
Andhraites who were literally starving and stayed shelter-less in tents started sending feelers to Prime Minister Nehru to save their asses . They then took up Telugu Unity slogan and begged their territory to merge in much richer Hyderabad State ( #Telangana ) . They had no love for #Telangana ppl , their eyes were focused on richness of Hyderabad. Hyderabad then had all the basic infrastructure and it had almost Rs 50 Crore surplus Budget. Nehru knew the cunning mentality of Andhraites , he initially did not agreed . Leaders like Prakasam pantulu & Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy begged Nehru to merge their State with #Telangana and save them from going bankrupt.
Financial condition of then Andhra State was in doldrums, there budget was in total deficit. The were not in a position even to pay salaries to their employees. They had no stron Roof for their offices , they lived in tents , Govt files braved the rain and sun equally. Pigs used to stay along with them. Pig menance was so high in their tents that their Andhra Govt had to allocate Spl Funds for Pig eradication. There prevailed acute Drinking Water shortage. To be short and precise Andhraites lived like beggars .
That was the time they thought they will be safe only if they merge with Richie-Rich Hyderabad State (#Telangana ) . They begged , licked Nehru feet and somehow convinced him. Then Fazal Ali Commission too was against the Andhra - Telangana merger , it mentioned it will lead to subjugate the rights of Telangana . Nehru under severe pressure form Andhra leaders agreed but he too had apprehensions as to how will an fair girl Telangana will survive the marriage with naught(cunning) Andhra boy. Merger happened with lot of conditions. GentleMan Agreement was drafted to safeguard the Rights of Telangana. Even then, Nehru raised lot of doubts on the Andhra - Telangana marriage . Paper cuttings of his sayings are published here.

Nehru inaugurating Andhra Pradesh State at Fateh maidan in Hyderabad on 1st Nov 1956 has said
"So this particular combination of a part of Hyderabad State with Andhra – this marriage, as I call it — has many features, good and bad, which often accompany marriages. That is to say it is good if the two cooperate and flourish to the advantage of each other. But, there are also risks and dangers if different temperaments and other things which may come in the way of smooth working so essential for the success of the marriage. Therefore, it is necessary, that there should be a very great degree of capacity to adjust oneself, capacity to appreciate other view points, capacity to allow the other person to grow in his own way and not impose oneself on others.”
Nehru's prophecies and apprehensions have come true , the forceful marriage between Andhra & telangana could not survive . Marriage was short-lived , demand for demerger started in the year of AP state inception , it was ignored then by the rulers . Later it took violent turn in 1956 , It was brutally crushed by the fascist Andhra Chief Minister killing 390+ Telangana students in Police firing. Since then the fight for separate state was going on against the shameless loot and plunder by Andhraites.
As i said in the first para that Andhraites are most hated people. And it is the result of their cunningness. Madras people kicked them away , Telangana want to cut off all ties with them and even Rayalseema people want to stay away from them . The irony is Seema people are pleading their territory to merge with Telangana stating that they do not want to to live with cunning Andhra brigands.
Did Andhraites ever introspected as to why their fellow Telugu's hate them ??? Why they were thrown away from Madras , now getting kicked away from Hyderabad ?? I doubt. Their greed for Money has taken over their Heart, Mind and Soul.
Today Telangana is proud to proclaim that we fought on streets faced Police lathis , bullets and State Violence yet achieved our 5 decade Dream of separate state. We will narrate our Heroic participation to our coming Generations . I wonder what will Andhraites tell when their coming Generations ask why our fellow Telugu brothers hate us , why they got kicked away from Madras and why they begged, conspired and finally thrown out of Hyderabad ??? Then they would be forced to confess that all thru the life they cheated , robbed the natives and lived like brigands , thats the reason people kicked us away where ever we went. Thatastu !!!
P.S : Above Newspaper cuttings (PIX) dated November 2nd, 1956 Indian Express Madras Edition has the Nehru's statements where he raised doubts of Andhra & #Telangana living together for a longer period.
