The concept of Social Telangana represents a vision for the state where the numerical strength of the Backward Classes (BC) and Bahujans is converted into organised political and economic power. It is the antithesis of the current state, which is a "geographical state" and a "den for looters" dominated by a few powerful castes.
The core components of Social Telangana include:
1. Hissa, Ijjat, and Hukumat
Telangana to truly become a people's state, BCs must achieve
three things:
• Hissa (Share): An equal and fair distribution of
the state's resources and wealth.
• Ijjat (Respect): Recognition and dignity for the
Bahujan communities who provided the "sweat, blood, and sacrifices"
for the statehood movement.
• Hukumat (Rule): Direct participation in state power
and governance, rather than being excluded from decision-making,.
2. Proportional Representation and Reservation
A central pillar of this concept is the implementation of
42% reservations for BCs in all sectors. The proponents argue that while
BCs make up over 56% of the population, they lack representation in political,
administrative, and economic spheres; Social Telangana aims to correct this
imbalance to reflect demographic reality,.
3. Fulfilment of Movement Goals
Social Telangana is seen as the actualisation of the
original goals of the statehood movement—Water (Neellu), Funds (Nidhulu),
and Jobs (Niyamakalu)—which the proponents claim have currently been
diverted to benefit dominant castes,.
• Water: Ensuring irrigation reaches the fields of
Bahujan farmers rather than just generating "commissions" for
rulers,.
• Funds: Ending the "institutionalised
plunder" of state wealth and ensuring budgets are spent on the welfare of
the 60% BC population rather than being diverted,.
• Jobs: Solving the "terrifying reality" of
unemployment among BC youth and filling government vacancies based on fair
representation,.
4. A New Political Direction
The proponents describe Social Telangana as a "social
revolution" and a "new political direction". It is a
movement to dismantle a system where industries, lands, and businesses are
monopolised by a few, and to replace it with a system of social justice,.
Achieving this state is described as the only way to bring "peace to the
souls of Telangana's martyrs".
