Peoples Telangana

1. Introduction: The Unanswered Question of a People’s Movement The state of Telangana was not a gift from the corridors of power; it was a sovereign right forged through the sweat, blood, and ultimate sacrifices of the Bahujan people. The movement was fueled by a singular, visceral promise:  Water, Funds, and Jobs.  For the millions who marched, these were the metrics of dignity and the blueprint for a "Social Telangana." A decade later, the high-stakes emotional battle for statehood has been replaced by a chilling disillusionment. While the geography has changed, the power structures have merely recalibrated. As retired IAS officer T. Chiranjeevulu aptly notes, this is no longer governance—it is "daylight robbery." The central question that now haunts every dry field and every crowded unemployment exchange is simple yet devastating:  Whose wealth has Telangana become?  While a select few float in commissions, the majority remain drowned in debt, wondering if their...

   T. Chiranjeevulu Retired IAS and Chairman, BC Intellectuals Forum   Telangana was forged through the sweat, blood, and sacrifices of its Bahujan people. Yet today, dominant castes are openly looting and controlling the very state these communities fought to create. This is not governance—this is daylight robbery! This is not development—it is institutionalized plunder! In a manner unprecedented in history, Telangana is being systematically looted, sold off, mortgaged, and divided. Singareni's Naini coal mine in Odisha stands as direct evidence of this exploitation. Until recently, we believed the looters were limited to leaders, contractors, and officials. Today, however, media owners have also joined this mafia of plunder! Media owners are slinging mud at each other—not in pursuit of truth, but to secure their share of the spoils! During the special Assembly sessions, the corruption in the Palamuru-Rangareddy Lift Irrigation project was exposed. ₹35,000 crores have al...

 Chuppala Nagesh Bhushan The Mechanics of Rule: What Does the Ruling Class Do? To understand the path to social change, one must first understand the nature of class rule. A ruling class does not merely occupy offices; it exercises state power to ensure the reproduction of the social relations that underpin its dominance. . State power is a relation where social power is concentrated and exercised to promote and protect specific structures—primarily the mode of production of which the ruling class is the dominant bearer. When a class rules, it carries out two essential functions through the state: representation and mediation. . Through representation , the state promotes the ruling class’s interests and ensures its leadership is reflected in state policies. Through mediation , the state ensures that the ruled classes both submit to and contribute to the existing order. . This is achieved through mechanisms such as extraction (taxation and surplus labour), co-optation (securi...

Summary This document outlines an analysis, based on Rajeev Patel's book  Vedic Yug Ka Ghalmel , of the appropriation and reinterpretation of key Buddhist symbols within the Hindu Vaishnavite tradition. The central argument is that prominent symbols currently associated with Hindu deities like Tirupati Balaji, specifically the Shankh (conch) and the Chakra (wheel), were originally Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist icons with distinct philosophical meanings. According to the source, these symbols were co-opted during a historical "rebranding" of Buddhist idols, such as those of Avalokiteshvara, into Hindu deities. This process involved stripping the symbols of their original context—representing concepts like the removal of ignorance and the spread of Buddhist teachings (Dhamma)—and assigning them a new "sectarian coating" to align with the emerging Vaishnavite narrative. Context of Symbolic Appropriation The analysis posits that the presence of the Shankh and Chak...

  Questions on the Marginalization of Backward Classes (BCs) in the Making of the Indian Constitution 1. Exclusion and Marginalization Why were the Backward Classes (BCs), who formed the numerical majority of India's population at the time, deliberately ignored and sidelined by the rulers and prominent leaders during the framing of the Constitution? 2. Lack of Representation Why was there no meaningful representation or participation for the Backward Classes in the Constituent Assembly and the Constitution-making process, despite their overwhelming numerical strength? Is it fair or just that the majority community (BCs) had virtually no voice or role in drafting the foundational document of independent India? 3. Failure to Define Backward Classes Even before the Constitution was framed, why did the leadership fail to clearly define and identify who the Backward Classes actually were? Without first determining the identity and composition of the BCs, how could any meanin...
