Telangana can be very successful

Greater Hyderabad is the largest concentration of Telugus in the world. For Telugus to be a successful ethnic and language group in the world, Hyderabad and Telengana must be economically successfully.  Since the division of the State into two, people would have realized that the promises made to the two States in Parliament and outside are not honored at all and no one really cares.  We are on our own.  One cannot predict political success. But one can definitely plan an economic success story. Actually it is very simple. If Telengana is to be successful, all it has to do is to ensure that things go on as usual. There will be automatic economic growth and prosperity.

Pullarao Pentapati - Central Government fanning disputes on River Godavari

It Is –unfortunate that a major issue has broken out between the new states of Andhra Pradesh and Telengana over the addition of 7 Mandals which will be affected by submersion by the gigantic Polavaram dam.   It is reflection of things is being handled.  Instead of bringing states together, one finds that rivers are dividing States and creating enduring animosity between them. This is not healthy for Indian democracy. When parliament passes a law, it should mean that there is wide consensus and that the law will be respected. As soon as the Andhra Pradesh Re=organization Bill was passed, we find that Telengana has said that it is going to  court  This is not a healthy  tradition since  every state will then go to court,  using the vast financial resources of a  state government.

Pullarao pentapati - The next governments will be unstable in both Telengana and Andhra Pradesh

Whatever the administrative liabilities of large states, they have one enduring and critical asset and that is stability. Large states usually enjoy stability since it is very difficult to dislodge them mid-stream by defections. Small states on the other hand are inherently much more unstable since even a minor change of allegiances will result in governments becoming cortical.

The biggest problem in a tyrannical democracy By Pullarao Pentapati

Where only one or two parties dominate is the ability of the ordinary citizen to “Speak truth to power”. Whether one agrees with the idea that we need more political parties, in a democracy the most important issue is the power to ask questions.  Those in total power get very angry when you ask questions.
Lord Acton famously said in 1897 that “Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men”.
