There is this state in India which is called Andhra Pradesh. I am from there. Not until lately have I known that Andhra Pradesh is compromised of three regions; Telangana, Andhra and Rayalsima. These three regions have joined together in the year 1956 and formed the state of Andhra Pradesh. Telangana region has the major city Hyderabad and except for that it does not have anything. There are no fertile lands, there are no major water bodies and is also the most backward province in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Andhra and Rayalsima have all these things except for the hi-tech city, Hyderabad.
Some leaders in Telangana have been fighting for being left as a separate state (separated from Andhra and Rayalsima) since the people of Telangana are not treated with respect. According to them, they have been losing their jobs to the people from Andhra and they have been losing the funds from center to the non-telangana regions. One more reason that annoys them is the entire state is named after Andhra, no mention of Telangana. The main problem that raised is that the fight for this separate state is not started by good leaders. The leaders who are fighting for separate telangana are more interested in their personal interests than the interests of the public. Due to this, the fight for separate Telangana has been seen only as a motive as a group of evil leaders.
The forming of a separate Telangana is opposed mainly by the people of Andhra. One of the main reasons for this is the investments the Andhra people have put up in Hyderabad; various businesses, lands, buildings etc. The leaders of Telangana say that they are going to let all the non-telangana people leave Telangana once the state is formed. All this led to fear among them and they have been strongly revolting the formation of separate Telangana.
Advantage to other states: Andhra Pradesh has been a strong competition to some states like Karnataka (the once software capital Bangalore has been strongly overtaken by Cyberabad (popularly known as Hyderabad)) and Tamil Nadu (Andhra pradesh has more land and more intellectual people). Once Telangana is separated from Andhra Pradesh, neither would Telangana or Andhra Pradesh be any more competitor to Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. So some cruel politicians from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu do want Andhra Pradesh to split.
All in all, my word would be to have a formal discussion between the people from the three regions of Andhra Pradesh and come up with a decision to be united. Division of states would not really help anyone. Evident is the case of Germany which split up into two different countries and later came together owing to the major fall of economy when divided. There are more people in Andhra Pradesh who want to be united, they should all stand up together and get rid of the few corrupt leader and their followers who are trying to get the state separated for their personal gains
