TELANGANA State Formation

Thank you for starting this... debate. - Thank you for you comments My opponent has failed to say exactly where he stands. I am assuming he is against the Telangana State Formation. - Assumed correctly. I am against Telangana State Formation (Off the Record: Sometimes, for selfish reasons, I dream that Telangana State formation can lead to get one of my friends get more political recognition and it might in turn do some personal good for me in future) My opponent claims that if Telangana State forms its government will want to "hook up" with Hyderabad region & Andhra State to survive politically and financially. My opponent has made an absolute statement when he said "will." He has absolutely no solid proof that the government will want to do this, yet he still says they do. - Other regions have went down this path in India before and formed their own states thinking that being an independent and a separate state can lead them to have more access to: . funds from the Central government . decentralized governance leading to prosperity within the region . priority in employment / benefits for locals . taking advantage of MULKI . benefits for local political parties in central /state government .... But, in the past, smaller states (2 - 3 states) have formed from bigger states in India, mostly due to political reasons. Solid Proof? . it is well known now that these smaller states are not in the path of financial freedom and prosperity they expected to have and most of them have succumbed to political bureaucracy . the beneficiaries of this split are a few political, business & real estate families (..not the common man) and the GDP did not get any better for being a smaller state . Having a smaller vote bank than before has led to them to have a smaller voice when it came to dealing with Central Government . Smaller states become more dependent on central funds making the State and Central Government weaker . Telangana state, if formed, need to depend on Andhra State for Water/Irrigation/fertile lands/... and more dependency of Telangana on those state than the other way around on the natural resources of Telangana like limestone, coal power,.. . Telangana state, if formed, still need to continue depending on Hyderabad which is one of the largest IT service providers in the world with all the major MNCs having offices there . This political agitation is creating insecurity among some MNCs (local & foreign) and can affect projects that come to Hyderabad region. This will be a big setback for Telangana Region which is primarily counting on forming the 'Telangana state including Hyderabad', which I really do not think is possible, as all Andhra Pradesh State people who have put a lot of sweat and blood into Hyderabad development has business & property all over that region and will not let Hyderabad to be taken over by Telangana Politicians/People. . It also leads to decrease in Real Estate value . More State tax . More expenditure to create/manage new Government and stabilize . Coalition with other parties, and Hyderabad & Andhra State Regions/States becomes quite important to still maintain a voice and power at the Central Government - I used the word 'WILL' because, it did happen this way with other smaller states which took this path in the past. However, arguing that 'it wont be that way in the future' has no Solid Proof. 1.Comment can be made by anyone. Someone who knows what is happening, and someone who knows nothing on the matter. - Hmm...lets see...I don't see myself or most people posting video comments about the pollination methods in a plant found in Iceland. Incidentally, I really don't expect someone without knowing at least a little bit what they are talking about would like to embarrass themselves with a video comment (or..do they?). 2.His link is to an empty domain that says nothing on the matter of The Telangana State Formation. - may be the site is down
