What would Separate Telangana achieve?

-

I have no clue, other than keeping those ‘politically unemployed’ busy with a job of their dreams.

What those politicians could not do so far in the last (about) 50+ years while in the ruling party or in the opposition party, that they could suddenly do now if Telangana becomes a separate state?

If you put rupee by rupee spent on each district after Andhra became a separate state, I don’t see any region of the state treated disproportionately. Then what’s all this fuss about backwardness of Telangana region?

Benefits of separate Telangana : 1. Telangana students will be getting jobs in their region easily. 2. End to Andhra politics. 3. Development in Agriculture and irrigation system. I am from this region and dont have any affliations to political parties- current agitation is people wish to have sep state.Pls look into Telangana history where you can make it out the betrayal of congress and Andhra politicians. I dont see any wrong having separate state,when there can be development with good adminstration - like "Small is beautiful"..

I really hope that students get jobs and agriculture will be developed more with better irrigation system.  But, there are not so many public sector jobs that could be created if there is a separate telangana and restricted to in-state. Jobs in private sector are open to all, I don't think there will be any preference to people from a certain state or region.

If there was a betrayal by politicians, then all politicians are behind it. I haven't seen any discussion in the assembly in my life time that argued that funds are diverted to Andhra from else where.

"Small" always looks beautiful. But when it comes to momentum, "big" matters a lot. Just a thought.

I can't agree more with you Murali. All those students agitating thinking they would find "government" jobs are in for a big disappointment. How can a government accomodate 4 lakh jobs even if they "roar"? Only thing they will end up with is a bad throat the next day. The solution to the problem -- which ofcourse is prevalent everywhere -- is equitable distribution of resources. Assume KCRs wealth of 6000 crores is provided as relief to Telanganites and is used in a good manner. It will work wonders. How someone can make 6000 crores in a lifetime is beyond my comprehension. Do that of every politician in our country and wonders start to happen. Students are being used as stooges by these corrupt politicans.

Hi Krishna,

I am not against Telangana. I am trying to understand what separate Telangana will really achieve. If its just a political game, then I don't think anybody will benefit anything from it.


If people really feel that they are not happy with single state and believe that separate state will help them, I am for it. But I have hard time believing in  that. In the elections last year, TRS with the sole agenda of separate state hasn't given such support from the people. Congress that has been opposing has gathered so much more momentum. 


You may have to ask those who utter those slogans on what it means. I don't think people can stay together anymore when there is no trust between them.

Murali,
What did telangana achieve all these years staying united with andhra?
Betrayals and broken promises? Loosing jobs to settlers?
Tell me that staying united helped telangana then we can think what more can be achieved separating. We got nothing andthose guys rant their andhra pride every where. They criticize telangana as poor and waste. Why should we stay united? tell me

Hi Sravan,

I really have no clue about these "jobs" everybody has been talking about. Does anybody have any data that could explain better. I am kind of lost. There is no reason to suppress feelings. If people from Telangana feel that they were robbed, there will be nothing that can change their belief.


But it would help the very people of Telangana to separate emotion from reason and think for themselves before parading on politician's ill wishes.


Same for people on either side refusing to listen to the other side of the story.
Hope we understand things clearly and act.

USCIS Selects Final H1B Petitions by Random Selection - Almost a 50% chance for each Application

-
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that on April 12 it conducted the computer-generated random selection process to determine which H-1B petitions, subject to the congressionally mandated H-1B cap for fiscal year 2008 (FY 2008), would continue to final processing. USCIS completed this determination ahead of the preliminary schedule noted on April 3, when it announced it had received enough petitions to meet the cap for FY 2008. The 123,480 cap-subject petitions received on April 2 and 3 were labeled with unique numerical identifiers and selected randomly by computer. The chosen numerical identifiers were then transmitted to the appropriate service center for further processing. Source: USCIS Announcement Number 123,480 looks a lot better keeping in view initial estimates. A good 50% chance for each application to be selected.  Update: 3rd May 2007 Hello friends, I understand your anxiety. But don’t loose your hope and/or temper yet. Please wai...

H1B 2008:USCIS released Preliminary Numbers

-
USCIS today released the final count of number of unique pieces of mail received for H1B petitions. It received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. I guess, each piece of mail will ' mostly ' contain more than one petition, as no company would send each petition in a seperate package and its most unlikely that a firm applies for just one petition. Probably by the end of next week, we might know the actual number of H1B petitions filed and how lucky one must be to get through the initial filter. Source: USCIS Releases Preliminary Number of FY 2008 H-1B Cap Filings  (26KB PDF) 04/05/2007 During Monday and Tuesday, USCIS received 133,000 unique pieces of mail containing H-1B petitions. This is lower that the original USCIS estimate of 150,000. USCIS based the initial estimate on amounts from manifests received along with the mail. USCIS reached the updated number following a physical count of the mail. Each piece of mail may contain more than one H-1B pe...
