Dear Telanganites,
Some of our andhra friends pose very funny questions regarding
hyderabad by reading some news in media. We should know how to give a
fit reply to those questions.
Here are few questions and answers.
All of us came to hyderabad and developed it, as it is the capital?
Otherwise we would have settled in guntur, Kurnool, Tirupati etc,..
Let them make clear that being a political capital is not the
criteria for economical development.
Even though New Delhi was made as the capital still Indias economical
capital city is Mumbai. Similarly Kanpur more developed than Lucknow,
Gandhi nagar more developed than Ahmedabad and Baroda, Kochhi more
developed than Thiruvanthapuram if he goes there are so many examples
we will get throughout the world.
Whatever the cities developed after the independent India are already
developed before. Hyderbad has got the inherent capability to develop
as major metropolitain before 1956.
So many people dont know that Once Hyderabad was the land of lakes,
more than 200 lakes around the city providing the fresh drinking
water.
I will give the list of the things before 1956..
1) Well connected underground drainage system designed by Great
Viswesarayya, begumpet airport.
2)Railway system already developed in Nizams period no more railway
lines are added except nadikudu to connect to Guntur.
3)World famous Osmania and Gandhi hospitals
4)Assemble hall, high court, Jubilee hall, even the secretariat,
osmania university, King koti hospital, Niloufer and so many
weredeveloped before 1956.
5) Non profit educational institutions like VV College, Jambagh,
Reddy womens college, Vanitha, Kapadia, Keys, Wesley, St. patrick so
many developed before 1956.
6) Hyderabad was known for its pearls, jewelleries, biryani what
andhraites are added.
So there is no logic in arguing that point,it might be true YSR,
Chandra babu have come to hyderabad but what they are political
leaders. Even every MP and minister will go and reside in delhi that
means delhi belongs Tamil or other people.
We developed industrially hyderabad, we provided so many jobs to
localites?
Let us see this point..
There were so many spin mills, craft industries, paper making mills
before 1956 so many parsis, sindhis and Gujaratis developed their
industries in hyderbad.
To get away from the competition in andhra region few industrialist
came to hyderbad, but where they taken the loans, on what rate they
got the cheap lands, who bears their pollution? all these things are
matter to local people. what about Patancheru, Bollaram who bears
that pollution?
Great Dr. Reddy steals patents from IDPL, similarly we know the story
of satyam (actually his father chetaed local people in medchal and
ran away to coastha).
Where these people got the money? they got the loans from APSFC
(Andhra pradesh state financial corporation).
One more small business pronciple I want to say here..
Businessman wont have sentiments and affections he will choose his
location based on the profit. All the pharma firms are right now
going to Uttaranchal and what about the SEZ in Vizag?
If investment is the question they raise, how much investment they
put here in which. Realestate doesnt considered to be an industry.
Regarding the goverment companies, we will ask why govt has spent
more than 20,000 crores on vizag steel plant in 1978, Hindusthan zinc,
Vizag port, BHPV, kakinada port, Goadavari fertlisers why public
money was spent why they wont be union territories?
Regarding IT eventhough Pune is not a capital city even though IT was
developed.
3)Infrastructure like over bridges, big roads, stadiums are
developed.
There is a central ministry called Urban development they allot the
funds to all the cities based on population and economic importance.
more than lucknow, kanpur has got more funds, even Vizag, Vijayawada
got the funds and they have developed infrastructure.
we are not questioning them?
Gachhibowli stadium got the funds as national games were held, state
govt didnt spend single paisa.
Where state goverment is having the funds?
Over bridges and roads are developed with MCH budget not by the state
goverment, u know where MCH gets the funds, through advertisements
boards, leasing the shops, property tax, octroi and so on.
state govt given just 5 crores to hyderabad, 4 crores to Vizag,
and three crores to Vijayawada.
What about the sentiments and feelings of the other region people?
See in mumbai marathis are in minority, similarly kannadigas in
bangalore so where the problem comes. In 1960 when Gujarath was
seperated from Bombay state they never asked for bomabay even though
they developed it.
Finally one more funny questionthey raise is..
Chandigarh is the unionterritory and capital of Haryana and Punjab
why cant hyderbad?
Chandigarh is in the border of both haryana and Punjab where as
Hyderabad is in middle of telangana.
More over chandigarh was developed as planned city by goverment of
India not like hyderbad it doesnt have previous history of 400 years.
Upcoming projects like International airport, ringroad. All these are
not funded by the state goverment, public and private partnership.
That means GMR(Andhra company) will construct the airport they will
charge flight landing charges,parking charges and so on for twenty
years till they get their profits back later they hand over it too
the goverment. so where is the question of public spending.
Similar case with the outer ring road.
dear Sirs, This andhra media is so slever that they have given the
picture to out side world that they developed hyderbad, the real
story is they built their Jubilee hills, banjara and Kukatpally on
the graveyards of telanganites.
and one more final question by supplying drinking water from singur
more than two lakh hectares are dprived irrigation water,
u know the story of patancheru and Bollaram. and what about the
musi river pollution more than 200 villages are affected who bears
that cost.
We will explain all these things if they dont listen..
only one say we have..
Hyderbad ki addosthe addamuga narukutham.
Still we have the 1948 telangna revolution blood in our veins.
Jai Telangana,
Ramesh, Rome, Italy.

I support the article and the conclusions.
But the basis of the article is partially or mostly faulty.
Many great cities have been founded and left barren due to non-support by the later generations.
So every one living and helping to sustain and grow have a role in claiming that they are part of the history of the city.
So just like Nizam has created instituions like Osmania university, hospitals... the new rulers have created flyovers, big buildings, hitec city...
So we are not any less by acknowledging and accepting that different people have played roles in taking the city to the next step.
