The case for a separate state for Telangana is a classic case of government politicizing a class discrimination of highest degrees. The movement is regarded as separatist but there is more to it than meets the eyes.
When electoral, democratic and legal methods get crushed by those in power, not many options are left for the oppressed. The oppressed in this case are the minority Telenagana people who have been, post-independence, voted out and ousted in the Andra majority regime in the state of AP.
Resorting to “undemocratic” means is the last resort of this movement. Government needs to come up with a better answer than setting up committee and delaying the call on this. There is a difference between fragmentation and restoration when deciding on state boundaries. Telangana just happens to gfall in the latter category
