[b]As Andhra people left Madras city at the time of formation of Andhra state,[/b]
[b]now they should leave Hyderabad and build their own capital.[/b]
When Andhra state was carved out of Madras state, Telugus laid claim
to Madras city. Unfortunately, they did not succeed in their endeavor.
Also, many Telugu speaking regions which legitimately should have come
to the newly formed Telugu state, such as Bellary, Barampuram, and
Hosur, were merged with other states.
When Andhra Pradesh state was formed, Rayalaseema people have
foregone the opportunity to have the capital city in Kurnool. They have
done this in the larger interest of Telugu unity. In fact, the Telugus of
erstwhile Hyderabad state wanted Hyderabad to be the capital of the newly proposed Vishalandhra. This
was done to retain the importance of Hyderabad city whose prominence was going to suffer as Kannada
and Marathi speaking regions, which made up almost half of Hyderabad state, were being merged with
Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Choosing Hyderabad as capital was in accordance with aspirations of Telugu people of all three regions of
the state. On 27th October 1955, Hyderabad City Congress Committee passed a resolution urging the
creation of Andhra Pradesh state. The resolution specifically urges the union government to form the new
state with Hyderabad as its capital. In addition to that, there are numerous resolutions passed by towns
and villages across Telangana demanding the creation of a new state with Andhra and Telangana.
Loss of regions, where Telugu speaking majority lived, to other states, should be seen as an unfortunate
occurrence in the larger perspective of Telugu unity. However, the Telangana separatists often say that
the Andhras were thrown out of Madras, and they say it with unconcealed glee. It is sad that one Telugu
expresses happiness at the raw deal meted out to the other Telugus.
