My very first reaction on hearing about the decision taken to split AP into two was an emotional -No!It can't be!.Having spent my teen years at Hyderabad and often taking off to Tirupati a seemandra region and native place of my parents for summer holidays i just couldn't stomach the split.Wasn't Secundrabad and its twin city Hyderbad the cultural capitol of Andra ?Even if other issues are sorted out like water sharing etc how can a blue blooded Andra ever let go off this emotional attachment to this capitol?
If all this reaction was due to the petrification of my adolescent sentiments and therefore need to over looked hasn't Hyderabad grown exponentially in past decades as one keeps hearing of a latest IT comp being set up as well as all those hi fi educational insti that have come up there?And all this hasn't been replicated elsewhere in AP.
Unlike Bihar , where Ranchi was since Britishers time the summer capitol of that state and boasted of best schools and already had a bench of high court ,i remember visiting it as early as 1990. so Jharkand had a made to order capitol already in existence when it split from bihar.So no problems were encountered .
According to me Hyderabad would be the flash point.And that trs leader has made things worse by asking all those hailing from rest of Andra and serving in govt offices to quit Hyderabad like as if this was a partition between two warring countries!
My suggestion for the sake of the people of seemandra troubled by insecurities at the face of stubbornness of scheming politicians is to declare Hyderabad as a union territory[the 10 year cooling off is no guarantee that a similar capitol will be developed elsewhere and by then hyd would have grown even more and so will never get to be matched!] .
