So your whole argument is that
SOME districts of Andhra pradesh are more backward than those of Telangana? Humor me as to how does this qualify Andhra for special status?
Is Andhra economically backward in comparison to India or even Telangana?
Here:
Per Capita GDP:
Andhra: Rs 88876/- (2014) and Rs 104006/- (2015 est)
Telangana: Rs 95361/- (2014) and Rs 103889/- (2015 est)
India: Rs 74380/- (2014)
Now why should a common Indian Taxpayer susidise Andhra pradesh when Andhra has 20% higher GDP per capita than rest of country and has equal income in comparison to state on back of which it is demanding special treatment?
So what are Vishakapatnam, Vijaywada , and Guntur? hick villages!
Whole of coastal belt of Andhra has high level of Industrialization. Apart from that,Andhra has better infrastructure, than Telangana which only has Hyderabad.
While a quantitative comparison between Andhra and Telangana could not be made as separate compilation of IIP index for both states has not been done owing to its complexity, but a look at Per capita income is a good approximation of Industrial capability.
Here is map of industrial regions of India. I see coastal Andhra as one of Industrially developed area.
Is financial indiscipline of Andhra Pradesh government responsibility of every Indian?
By that stretch; why shouldn't a bailout be provided to Mamta's West Bengal, Akali's Punjab, or commie Kerala? All of them have severely disbalanced Budgets.
BTW, Every state (and Centre too) has a deficit as interest rate on deficit is lower than growth rate in developing countries.
Geography is a permanent handicap. You people have higher per capita income than Telangana while situation was reverse a year ago.
Telangana has bigger geographical handicap than Andha owing to its rugged topography and land locked status.
LOL.
So even when there was no sustained movement for bifurcation of UP, MP, and Bihar and decision for division was taken unilaterally by center become division as per people's wish, while a long standing and pretty intense movement for division including self-immolation by many people (due to emotional instability and low conscientiousness as I have stated before) is something that was forced!!
Are you saying that wishes of Telangana people did not mattered and Center should have only taken feelings of Andhra legislatures in cognizance!!
If someone has grouse regarding division,they should take it up with TRS and its joker.Rest of Indians need not feel sympathetic to this irrational melodrama going on between Telangana and Andhra.
When a state is divided, its debt is shared by both states.
The article you posted above is claptrap written to inflame emotions of emotinally unstable people.
Its headline states that Andhra has to pay off Telengana's debt; while its content only states that debt sharing has not been decided , not that Andhra has been burdened by Telangana's debts. Once their division has been decided (It is a technical decision which would takes time), Telangana would have to pay its share and compensate Andhra for any liabilities that Andhra has taken in lieu of Telangana's debt.
Division of debt is standard practice and this "We have to pay for Telangana's debt. BOO! HOO! HOO! HOO!" is a propaganda for consumption by people who could not think for themselves independently.
Irrespective of Promises during election, neither Andhra nor Bihar deserve special status.
What is your locus-standi for special status? Why it should be given to you?
Modi, Congress, and BJP could promise moon to Andhra, but this does not make Andhra any deserving of special status.
You seem to have very little understanding as to how religion work (and for that matter why India never converted to Islam even after 500 years of Islamic rule).
Religions rarely ,if ever, convert an area where a competing civilization has deeply penetrated. Bangladesh converted to Islam because it was a predominantly animist Swamp with low penetration of Hinduism. It became fertile only in medieval era when majority of Ganga's water stopped draining into Hugli and started draining into Padma after an earthquake. Agriculture was introduced there by Muslims and it was during Mughal reign that it became Muslim. Similarly Pakistan was a sparsely populated area where Hindu civilizaton's penetration was low as attested by lack of pre-Islamic architecture in West Punjab. It was only after Britishers introduced irrigation that West Punjab had a boom (It is geographically a desert). These areas converted on application of little force (By Aurangzeb's, though he could never bring whole strength of state to bear due to his wars in south).
Similar in Central Asia, Kazhaks who were nomads and were only nominally muslims became communist when Soviets rolled in, but Tajiks and Uzbeks who were staunch Muslims remained religious even after heavy persecution by Soviets.
In India, Christianity has succeeded only in areas where Hinduism was weak. This include tribal areas and Andhra, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu where Hinduism is heavily mixed with animism thus could be reduced by missionaries piecemeal. There would always be conversions of some disgruntled people on outer-edges of any civilization, but a mass conversion is not possible without a civilizational collapse, or genocidal persecution (something which Muslims never got a chance to get to do except in Kashmir). Money could not gain many converts, and faith healing and other shenanigans do not yield as much converts as they did before advent of modern medicine.
And as I said before, If Telugus think that their future lies in becoming Lambs of Jesus, they are free to do it. I am not someone who would give a damn. Instead I recommend that they convert and get over it.
There was nothing ridiculous in my analysis. Only Telugus and Tamils commit suicide when some film star or politician croaks. I remember spate of suicides in Andhra when KCR croaked. Or immolating themselves for state division even though anyone above imbecile level IQ could attest that state division does not affect lives of common people in any appreciable manner.Tamils have mutilated themselves (cutting tongue and what not) for health of their two jokers (Karuna and Jaya).
This level of hero worship is endemic to these states alone thus my assesment of low openness, low conscientiousness and high neuroticism was perfectly correct for general psychological profile.
Another proof of this is the melodrama (some would say war) between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh going on. States have been divided before and all parties have handled divison much more maturely than these two states. Lalu (and Nitish or Paswan for that matter) did not want Bihar to be divided, but he did not wage a shadow war on Jharkhand after it was formed, and neither did Jharkhand do the same to Bihar. Nor did UP and Uttarakhand, and neither MP and Chattishgarh behaved in a juvenile manner.
In any state division, at least one of the state, did not had a capital. In Chattisgarh, DM's residence was converted into CM bungalow on makeshift basis. Uttrakhand could not decide on its capital for a decade after its formation. Jharkhand has to develop Ranchi as its Capital. None of these states had a developed capital.
. You get to see a lot of Telugu & Tamil Pastors these days outside their respective states
