Emergence of Regional Disparities and Imbalances

                                 3)EMPOLYMENT

                                 5)IRRIGATION ETC

1)POLITICAL POWER

                                 The regional imbalances in the political system started since the formation of the state of andhrapradesh(1956).The political issues relating to representation of Telangana in the power sharing structure is clearly mentioned in the GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT-1956 i.e

 12).The Cabinet will consist of members proportionately 60:40 per cent for Andhra and Telangana respectively. Out of the 40 per cent Telangana Ministers, one will be a Muslim from Telangana.

  13).If the Chief Minister is from Andhra, the Deputy Chief Minister will be from Telangana and Vice versa. Two out of the following portfolios will be assigned to Ministers from Telangana: (a) Home (b) Finance (c) Revenue (d) Planning and Development and (e) Commerce and Industry.
As a consequence, Telangana leaders‟ voice has not been adequately represented in political decision-making and this has resulted in a lack of decisions in favour of the region. Lack of political voice has led to neglect and discrimination of the region by the more powerful Seema-Andhra side”.

The political space in the institution of Deputy Chief Minister (or Chief Minister) for the Telangana region was denied by the signatory to the Gentlemen‟s Agreement and the Chief Minister from Andhra area, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy (who became the first Chief Minister of the united Andhra Pradesh) in the very first Ministry in 1956 by reportedly calling it an ”unwanted sixth finger of the hand”. Thus he was the first ‘Gentleman’ to violate the Gentlemen’s Agreement .This issue was to become a major sore point for Telanganites for all times to come.

Forced by the events caused by the discord that had been created, in the second ministry which was formed on January 11, 1960, with D. Sanjeevaiah as Chief Minister, this imbalance was rectified and Shri K.V. Ranga Reddy from Telangana was appointed as Deputy Chief Minister. This arrangement continued only for two years, whereafter, when Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy came back as Chief Minister, he again dispensed with the appointment of Deputy Chief Minister. The arrangement of Chief Minister/Dy. Chief Minister got restored only after the 1969 “Jai Telangana” agitation. 

Brahmananda Reddy’s six years of Chief Ministership (1964- 1971),He witnessed three violent agitations, one for a steel plant at Vizag, another for a separate Telangana State and the third, the Naxalite Movement in Srikakulam Vizag tribal areas.

P.V. Narasimha Rao became the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in 30th September 1971-10th Januaray 1973, as the first Telanganite to assume the office .B.V. Subba Reddy was made the Deputy Chief Minister

president's rule-11th jan -10th dec 1973.

From 1973-1982, the popular Governments were headed by Telangana leadership.
**It started with a stable government with  J. Vengala Rao as Chief Minister(he was the ANDHRA SETTLER), after the lifting of the President‟s Rule.
       The J. R. Vimadalal Commission on J. Vengala Rao, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, was appointed to probe into attacks on Naxalites during his period in office and his earlier actions against Communist-inspired Naxalites during the 1960s have been referred to as a "reign of terror".

**In the General Elections held in February, 1978, for the A.P. Legislative Assembly, the Congress Party swept the polls and Dr. M. Channa Reddy became the sixth Chief Minister of A.P. on the 6th of March, 1978. He announced that, separate Telangana was no longer an issue. Owing to some factional squabbles in the party, Dr. Channa Reddy resigned in October, 1980
       Justice Muktadar of Andhra Pradesh High court was appointed as Oneman Commission to enquire into the rape incident happened at nallakunta police station and its consequences
T. Anjaiah as chief minister from-11th oct 1980-24 feb 1982  who remained in office only for one year and four months.
         In the year again chenna reddy took the office from-3rd dec1989-17th dec1990 he came to power with antiincumbancy on NTR

House Committee on GO 610

CHANDRABABU NAIDU PERIOD

1.Appointment of House Committee on G.O.Ms.No. 610 headed by Sri Revuri Prakash Reddy, M.L.A:

                    The state Government has called for an all party meeting on 15-6-2001 regarding the implementation of Six Point Formula in zone V and VI (Telangana Region) pursuant to G.O.Ms.No. 610. On 29-12-2001 on the floor of Andhra Pradesh Assembly several members have pointed that the injustice is being done to the locals in the matter of appointments due to non implementation of said G.O. After prolonged agitation, the then Chief Minister has agreed to constitute House Committee headed by Revuri Prakash Rao, M.L.A. as Chairman. This House Committee functioned years together and several meetings were conducted and called upon the heads of all the Departments including Chief Secretary of the Government for speedy implementation of 610 G.O. Since the majority officers belong to Andhra region many of them did not cooperate with the House Committee. As a result, this committee failed in identifying the non-locals, however this committee submitted its two interim reports to the Government with the following recommendations.

In 1st Interim Report dated 17-03-2003:

The Committee was informed of the various aspects pertaining to the recruitments with reference to the Presidential Order in the recruitments of Sub-Inspectors, quoting graduation is the minimum required qualification, i.e., the place of study, commencing with the four consecutive years ending with the academic year in which he appeared from the relevant qualified examination for treating as local candidates. Finally, the Principal Secretary has submitted that necessary exercise would be taken-up as soon as possible to implement the orders of the High Court and also to rectify the mistakes done way back in the coming and future recruitments to overcome the short fall. 

1. The Committee observed that since 1975, eight recruitments were made to the posts of S.I’s in Hyderabad City Police of the Home Department, without following the Six Point Formula, considering Hyderabad as a free zone. As per the Judgment of the Hon’ble High Court of Andhra Pradesh, there are only six zones and no other zone like VII Zone or Free Zone. The very treating of Hyderabad as a Free Zone is contrary to the Spirit of the Presidential Order. The Hon’ble High Court in its judgment has clearly mentioned that Hyderabad is not a Free Zone but it is a part and parcel of the VI Zone. The A.P. Administrative Tribunal directed the Home Department to prepare a combined seniority list in zone VI, but it did not appear to have been followed. 

2. The Committee further observed that due to the non-implementation of the Six Point Formula, the presently working Civil S.I. and Constable posts were filled by the non-locals in Hyderabad City Police. Out of 563 posts of Civil S.I posts, 273 posts are occupied by the non-locals and out of 97 posts of Reserve S.I’s 44 posts are occupied by the non-locals. 

3. Even though the judgment was delivered eight months ago, no action was initiated to rectify the lapse and not even they have come to a conclusion, whether it was prospective, or retrospective. 

4. The Committee unanimously recommended that the non-locals who were appointed in the posts earmarked for the locals, against the Six Point Formula, should be repatriated to their respective zones with immediate effect.

5. The Committee further recommended that the directions given by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal should be implemented in letter and in spirit forthwith by the Government and that a combined seniority list should be prepared for the rest of the employees by keeping aside those to be repatriated to their respective zones. 

2nd Interim report dated 14-11-2003: SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS: 

1. The Committee recommends that 2399 posts of Civil Police Constables are now occupied by the non-locals should first be filled up by the locals against the OC quota in Hyderabad City Police. And also recommends that 616 posts of Armed Reserved Police Constables which are now occupied by the non-locals should first be filled up by the locals against the OC quota in Hyderabad City Police. 2. The Committee recommends that 546 posts of teachers which are now occupied by non-locals should first be filled up by the locals against the OC quota in Ranga Reddy District in the immediate future recruitments. 

3. The Committee recommends that 262 posts of teachers which are now occupied by non-locals in Hyderabad District, 23 posts in Medak District, 8 posts in Adilabad District and 3 posts in Khammam District should first be filled up by the local candidates of the respective districts against the OC quota in the immediate future recruitments. 

4. The Committee recommends that 87 posts of various categories (as shown in the Annexure) which are now occupied by the non-locals in Prohibition and Excise Department in Ranga Reddy District should first be filled up by the local candidates against the OC quota in the immediate future recruitments. 

5. The Committee recommends that it is only after filing up of all the posts mentioned above, the further recruitments in future should take place as per the ratio prescribed under the rules. We submit that despite of the above recommendations of the House Committee no action has been taken by the Government for rectification of violation of Presidential Order and Six Point Formula.

Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy PERIOD

2. House Committee lead by Sri Uttam Kumar Reddy, M.L.A

               Andhra Pradesh Assembly has constituted the House Committee for implementation of the 610 G.O. and Presidential Order Sri Uttam Kumar Reddy as Chairman during the year 2004 to 2009. This Committee functioned and conducted the several meetings with all Heads of the Departments and Officers concerned but failed to obtain the information pertaining to the non-locals employees of various Departments in Telangana Region, due to non co-operation of Andhra Officers. Finally this committee completed its tenure without any appropriate recommendations.

Rosaiah Commission on Telangana

The committee has been constituted in pursuance of Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s announcement in the Assemblythat the government had no objection in principle to the formation of Telangana and that it would constitute a joint committee of members of both houses to deliberate on the ‘issues and concerns’.

The Finance Minister K. Rosaiah will head an eight-member committee comprising members of both houses of Legislature to deliberate on the issues and concerns for the formation of Telangana. Among them, seven are from the Congress and a lone MIM member..The Opposition parties – TRS, CPI (M), CPI and BJP – refused to nominate their representatives to the committee after Chief Secretary P. Ramakanth Reddy wrote them separate letters. It was proposed that the Congress and the TDP should nominate two members each and all others one each.

They are Konathala Ramakrishna, J. Geetha Reddy (both Ministers), N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, D. Sridhar Babu, Akbaruddin Owaisi (all MLAs), R. Padmaraju and Shaik Hussain (MLCs). 

Four of them are from Telangana, three from Andhra and one from Rayalaseema.

Exhaustive TOR (terms of reference) is given to the Committee. Core of the issue is ‘consensus’, whether it is there and how to achieve it from every section of the country, which is respected by even separatists during past five years. The Committee started conducting a comprehensive study of all points in the TOR consulting all sections including settlers and minorities etc in every region of the state to know what they think of separate Telangana, Greater Hyderabad and any other state demand. Draft Report of the Committee is prepared already to ensure no time is lost in a mission of such great cause. Details will be added in the course of consultations in the next few weeks so that the report is submitted at any appropriate time. Committee elicited YSR’s views also, who is one of the citizens, but due care has been taken to present the same very objectively.
TERMS OF REFERENCE:

1)Identify economic issues responsible for a separate statehood sentiment: Telangana demand is rooted in the sense of discrimination in development. Inadequate share in jobs, budgetary allocations, political posts, contracts of development projects like materialistic perceptions among backward regions are exploited by unemployed politicians in the name of separatist movement.  

2)Concerns of migrant population in Telangana: Migrants, Settlers (also amply appreciated by the anti- Congress parties like TRS etc), minorities, tourists and real estate brokers from coastal and Rayalaseema regions consider Hyderabad an inalienable part of the state and if, God forbid, there is separate Telangana state, then Greater Hyderabad with 150 km radius should be made into a Union Territory. Statutory obligations for keeping it so include so many treaties with industry & infrastructure groups (see, concessions granted in Agreement with GMR Airport Authority). 

3)Maoist & terrorist threat in proposed Telangana: Maoist and terrorist activities have been apprehended by all sections of the state.  A separate state would turn Telangana into naxal state and is detrimental not only to Telangana which lived with it for decades but to peace loving neighbouring regions and the entire country. 

4)Concerns of Minorities in the proposed Telangana: Muslims of erstwhile Hyderabad state are apprehensive of communal backlash in separate Telangana. Muslims of Hyderabad and all over the state strongly urged that samaikya Andhra alone, with migrants pouring into Hyderabad from all corners, would ensure preservation and promotion of Urdu and Muslim identity. Minorities are highly appreciative of the special measures initiated by the current government to protect Wakf lands, concessions made for pilgrims to Haj and Jerusalem, and liberal promises like help to 3 million poor guys facing hardships in Gulf. 

5)Demands for separate states by other regions: There is demand for separate state from several pockets and some districts. Commission examined gravity, potential threat and sentiments of separatist demand of Rayalaseema, Jai Andhra, Kalinga Andhra in general & more specifically separate Hyderabad, Separate Cuddapah state among several other nascent but potential district based separatist movements. It is also noticed that Anantapur & Kurnool like to form a separate state with parts of Karnataka, if AP is divided. If one more new state is accepted the fabric of national unity is at threat. However, the sustainability of our great nation, unity in diversity, is still strong because the Commission has found not a single demand for separate state for women or men or children. 6)Relocation costs and consequential issues: The detailed enquiry into costs of relocations in the eventuality of a separate Telangana. Telangana would have to pledge all its rivers, cities, infrastructure, industry, coal mines and land fit for real estate or SEZ projects for about fifty years to the state governments of Andhra and Rayalaseema towards the relocation costs.

7)Modalities for sharing river waters vis-à-vis the existing situation: Godavari and other natural resources from Telangana, near completion of Polavaram & other dams.

8)Overall & harmonious development of all regions if there is Telangana state: Growth of Telangana in harmony with Andhra and Rayalaseema was found to be need of the hour.
9)Hope for a Better Future of Telangana & AP: Equitible development is corner stone of a healthy state. Youth is the promise of a society free of archaic sentiments of regionalism. 

10)Monitoring Inter-regional progress & promotion of people’s movements:longitudinal data and cohorts will be carried out on all aspects examined by the Commission through independent research bodies and universities in Andhra Pradesh. Intellectuals and philosophers of the state will be enlisted to conduct in-depth studies on every aspect with proper blend of multi-disciplinary approach: particularly the economic-political-sociological-gender-caste- dalit- settler- corporate governance- media- philosophy perspectives. 

11)Miscellaneous: aspects that committee required

4. Retrenchment of services should be proportionate from both regions if it becomes inevitable due to integration.

5. Future recruitment to services will be on the basis of population from both regions. 

6. The position of Urdu in the administrative and judicial structure existing at present in the Telengana area may continue for five years , when the position may be reviewed by the Regional Council. So far(as) recruitment to services is concerned, knowledge of Telugu should no be insisted upon at the time of recruitment but they should be required to pass a prescribed Telugu test in two years after appointment 

7. Some kind of domicile rule, e.g., residence for 12 years should be provided in order to assure the prescribed proportion to recruitment of services for Telengana area.

9. A Regional Council will be established for the Telengana area with a view to secure its all- round development in accordance with its needs and requirements. 

10. The Regional Council will consist of 20 members as follows: 9 members of the Assembly representing each district of Telengana to be elected by the Assembly members of the Telengana districts separately, 6 members of the Assembly or the Parliament elected by the Telengana representatives of the Assembly , 5 members from outside the Assembly to be elected by the Telengana members of the Assembly. All ministers from Telengana area will be (its) members. 

11. a. The Regional Council will be a statutory body empowered to deal with and decide about matters mentioned above and those relating to planning and development, irrigation and other projects, industrial development within the general plan and recruitment to services in so far as they relate to Telengana area. If there is difference of opinion between the views of the Regional Council and the Government of State, a reference may be made to the Government of India for final decision.   b. Unless revised earlier by agreement, this arrangement will be reviewed at the end of ten years. 12.The Cabinet will consist of members in proportion of 60 to 40 per cent for Andhra and Telengana respectively. Out of the 40 per cent Telengana Ministers one will be a Muslim from Telengana.

Main Provisions and Recommendations of SRC

                     Report of the States Reorganisation Commission (Paras 359 to 393)
                                                                Hyderabad

359. Further reorganisation of States in the South is dependent in a large measure on the future of Hyderabad. Hyderabad is a State with a population of 18.7 millions, of which 47.8 per cent speak Telugu, 24.3 per cent Marathi, 11.6 per cent Urdu, 10.5 per cent Kannada and 5.8 per cent other languages. In the preceding Chapter we have already recommended the transfer of the two districts of Hyderabad, namely, Raichur and Gulbarga, to the proposed Karnataka State. The future of the rest of this State is directly relevant to the examination of certain important proposals regarding the adjoining areas. This is, therefore, one of the major problems with which this Commission has to deal.

360. There has been a general demand, with popular support behind it, that the State should be disintegrated on the basis of linguistic and cultural affinity. This demand does not rest merely on linguistic grounds. It has been argued that States like Bombay, Madras and Madhya Pradesh, though heterogenous in character, have achieved a fair measure of progress and have acquired considerable experience in the working of the democratic form of government. In the case of Hyderabad, however, it is contended that the State has long been an artificial political unit and that the progress of the people who have remained backward cannot be accelerated unless its three component regions are attached to more advanced units. This step is also said to be necessary for the liquidation of the undemocratic tradition which, it is stated, is still deep-rooted in this State.

361. On the other hand, it has been argued before us that for more than six hundred years, from the time of the Bahmani kings, the area has been an integrated unit with common geo-political features, and that the State represents in miniature a real cultural synthesis and an intermingling of Indian people and should, therefore, be preserved as a model for other areas to imitate. A further argument for the maintenance of the status quo is that Hyderabad, if permitted to exist as a unit, could become a centre of north Indian culture and become the carrier of Hindi to the South. 

362. It is important to bear in mind that the three areas of Hyderabad known as Telangana, Karnataka and Marathwada were substantially united only under the authority of the Asaf Jahi dynasty. This unity was not based on a free association of the people, but rested on the weak foundation of personal rule. With the democratisation of the State, this superimposed and superficial unity has already broken down in effect.

363. Public sentiment, both within and without the State, is overwhelming and insistent on the need for the disintegration of the State. The Congress Party, though divided on the question whether Telangana should be a separate State or be united with Andhra, is unanimous regarding the issue of disintegration. The continuance of the existing unit for any considerable length of time would, in the opinion of this body, retard the growth of the people of Hyderabad. Every other organised political party that has appeared before us, however disunited on other points, has shown striking unanimity on this question. In the Marathwada area particularly, there is evidence of deep feeling in this matter born doubtless of historical reasons. From the views expressed by different parties and members of the State Legislature it is clear that only a negligible minority favours the maintenance of the status quo. 

364. Not only is the opposition to the disintegration of the State confined to minor sections, but the arguments on which this opposition is based lso do not bear scrutiny. We are not impressed by the claim that during the last two hundred years a specific Deccani culture has developed in the whole area and that this culture is a major contribution to the unity of India. The common culture of Hyderabad, like the unity of the State, is something that has been imposed from above. It is apparent, if at all, only in important towns and in no way represents a common pattern of living among the people of Hyderabad. Outside the city of Hyderabad, and to a lesser degree Aurangabad, Bidar and Gulbarga there is little that could be called a common culture. 

365. Geographically, Hyderabad is divided into two distinct regions, the Deccan lavas region and the remaining region 􀂱 the Deccan region corresponding more or less with Marathwada. The demographic features are also so different that a casual observer proceeding from Aurangabad to Warangal may see the differences between the people not merely in their language but also in their clothing, special customs, manners etc. The geopolitical argument and the consequent claim to unity will, therefore, be seen to have no substance. 

366. As for the utility of the State for the propagation of Hindi in the South, it is true that with the background of Urdu education, Hindi can easily be made popular in Hyderabad. The obvious suggestion, however, is not only that Hindi should replace Urdu as the medium of instruction in the osmania university,but the former government's policy of􀀃 􀀃 instruction through Urdu in the primary and middle schools should be continued (now, of course, through Hindi) throughout the State. It is most unlikely that a majority of the Telugu-speaking members of the existing legislature will agree to use in the middle and secondary schools any language except Telugu. Likewise, in Marathwada education in anything but Marathi will not be tolerated. The argument that the propagation of Hindi will be easy if Hyderabad is retained in its present form takes no note of the far-reaching effects of the democratisation of the State.

367. Thus, it will be seen that the plea for the continuation of Hyderabad rests on weak foundations. As we assess political trends in the State, we are left in no doubt that if it is maintained as one administrative entity it will not acquire that minimum measure of internal cohesion which is necessary for smooth and efficient administration. Continuance of the existing structure will also keep a number of important reorganisation problems unsolved and thereby impede the stabilisation of the proposed units in the South.

368. There is one point which will have to be considered in consequence of a change in the present character of the State, namely, the position of the Urdu-speaking people of the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad who constitute 45.4 per cent of the population. They seem to entertain the fear that if Hyderabad became the capital of either Telangana or Vishalandhra, they would stand to suffer culturally and economically. There is some justification for this fear. The remedy that some people have suggested that of making the cities a centrallyadministerd area does not appear to be feasible. Other measures will, therefore, have to be adopted to give adequate protection to the linguistic, cultural and other interests of the large Urdu-speaking people in the twin cities. These mesures should, in our opinion, include the recognition of the special position of Urdu in the educational institutions and in the administration. Steps will also have to be taken to ensure that the Urduspeaking people are not discriminated against in the matter of recruitment to services.
                                                            The case for Vishalandhra
369. The next question which we have to consider is the future of the Telugu-speaking areas of the existing State of Hyderabad with particular reference to the demand for the creation of Vishalandhra. 370. It is unnecessary for us to trace the history of the Andhra agitation in any great detail, because the Andhra State is now in existence, having been established on 1st October, 1953. In point of fact, however, the arrangements which were made in 1953 have not been regarded by the Andhras in the new State, especially in the Circars, as final; and the case for the creation of Vishalandhra has remained substantially un examined.
371. The advantages of a larger Andhra State including Telangana are that it will bring into existence a State of about 32 millions with a considerable hinterland, with large water and power resources, adequate mineral wealth and valuable raw materials. This will also solve the difficult and vexing problem of finding a permanent capital for Andhra, for the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad are very well suited to be the capital of Vishalandhra.
372. Another advantage of the formation of Vishalandhra will be that the development of the Krishna and Godavari rivers will thereby be brought under unified control. The Krishna and the Godavari projects rank amongst the most ambitious in India. They have been formulated after a prolonged period of inactivity, during which, for various technical and administrative reasons, only anicuts in the delta area have been built. Complete unification of either the Krishna or the Godavari valley is not, of course, possible. But if one independent political jurisdiction, namely, that of Telangana, can be eliminated, the formulation and implementation of plans in the eastern areas in these two great river basins will be greatly expedited. Since Telangana, as part of Vishalandhra, will benefit both directly and indirectly from this development, there is a great deal to be said for its amalgamation with the Andhra State.
373. The economic affiliations of Telangana with the existing Andhra State are also not unimportant. Telangana has in years of scarcity a sizeable deficit in food supplies. The existing Andhra State, however, has normally a surplus which Telangana may be able to use. The existing State of Andhra has likewise no coal, but will be able to get its supplies from Singareni. Telangana will also be able to save a great deal of expenditure on general administration, in case it is not established as a separate unit.
374. The creation of Vishalandhra is an ideal to which numerous individuals and public bodies, both in Andhra and Telangana, have been passionately attached over a long period of time, and unless there are strong reasons to the contrary, this sentiment is entitled to consideration.
                                                                  The case for Telangana
375. The case for Vishalandhra thus rests on arguments which are impressive. The considerations which have been urged in favour of a separate Telangana State are, however, not such as may be lightly brushed aside.
376. The existing Andhra State has faced a financial problem of some magnitude ever since it was created; and in comparison with Telangana, the existing Andhra State has a low per capita revenue. Telangana, on the other hand, is much less likely to be faced with financial embarrassment. The much higher incidence of land revenue in Telangana and an excise revenue of the order of Rs. 5 crores per annum principally explain this difference. Whatever the explanation may be, some Telangana leaders seem to fear that the result of unification will be to exchange some settled sources of revenue, out of which development schemes may be financed, for financial uncertainty similar to that with which Andhra is now faced. Telangana claims to be progressive and from an administrative point of view, unification, it is contended, is not likely to confer any benefits on this area.
377. When plans for future development are taken into account,Telangana fears that the claims of this area may not receive adequate consideration in Vishalandhra. The Nandikonda and Kushtapuram (Godavari) projects are, for example, among the most important which Telangana or the country as a whole has undertaken. Irrigation in coastal deltas of these two great rivers is, however, also being planned.Telangana, therefore, does not wish to lose its present independent rights in relation to the utilisation of the waters of the Krishna and the Godavari.
378. One of the principal causes of opposition to Vishalandhra also seems to be the apprehension felt by the educationally-backward people of Telangana that they may be swamped and exploited by the more advanced people of the coastal area. In the Telangana districts outside the city of Hyderabad education is woefully backward. The result is that a lower qualification than in Andhra is accepted for public services. The real fear of the people of Telangana is that if they join Andhra they will be unequally placed in relation to the people of Andhra and in this partnership the major partner will derive all the advantages immediately, while Telangana itself may be converted into a colony by the enterprising coastal Andhra.
379. Telangana, it has further been urged, can be a stable and viable unit considered by itself. The revenue receipts of this area on current account have been estimated at about Rs.17 crores, and although the financing of the Krishna and Godavari projects will impose a recurring burden on the new State by way of interest charges, the probable deficit, if any, is unlikely to be large. In favourable conditions, the revenue budget may even be balanced or indicate a marginal surplus. This fairly optimistic forecast can be explained or justified by a variety of reasons.
380. One important reason is, of course, that the existing Hyderabad State and Telangana as part of Hyderabad have benefited considerably from the implementation from april,1952 of finance commission's  recommendations. The increase in central payments from out of the divisible pools of income-tax and central excise which has been possible under the present arrangements and the reduction in police expenditure for which credit can be taken, as the situation in Telangana improves, more or less offset the loss on account of the abolition of internal customs duties; and if the scope which exists for raising the yield of certain State heads of revenue is fully explored, the financial position of Telangana need not cause anxiety.
                                                                   The State of Hyderabad
381. The advantages of the formation of Vishalandhra are obvious. The desirability of bringing the Krishna and Godavari river basins under unified control, the trade affiliations between Telangana and Andhra and the suitability of Hyderabad as the capital for the entire region are in brief the arguments in favour of the bigger unit.
382. It seems to us, therefore, that there is much to be said for the formation of the larger State and that nothing should be done to impede the realisation of this goal. At the same time, we have to take note of the important fact that, while opinion in Andhra is overwhelmingly in favour of the larger unit, public opinion in Telangana has still to crystalise itself. Important leaders of public opinion in Andhra themselves seem to appreciate that the unification of Telangana with Andhra, though desirable, should be based on a voluntary and willing association of the people and that it is primarily for the people of Telangana to take a decision about their future.
383. We understand that the leaders of the existing Andhra State may be prepared to provide adequate safeguards to protect the interests of Telangana in the event of its integration in Vishalandhra. These safeguards may take the form of a gurantee (presumably on the lines of Sri Baugh Pact between Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) of opportunities for employment for Telangana in the public services of the new State at least to the extent of one-third, that is to say, roughly in the proportion of population, and an assurance that particular attention will be paid to the development plans of this area.
384. We have carefully gone into the details of the arrangements which may be made on these lines. It seems to us, however, that neither guarantees on the lines of the Sri Baugh Pact nor constitutional devices,such as"scottish devolution" in united kingdom,will prove workable or meet the requirements of Telangana during the period of transition. Anything short of supervision by the Central Government over the measures intended to meet the special needs of Telangana will be found ineffective, and we are not disposed to suggest any such arrangement in regard to Telangana.
385. A further point to be borne in mind is that the State of Andhra was brought into existence only recently and has still not got over the stress of transition. It has, for example, still to formulate a policy on the land reforms and the problems arising from the partition from the composite State of Madras have, by no means, been tackled fully yet. Integration of Telangana with Andhra at this stage is, therefore, likely to create administrative difficulties both for Andhra and Telangana.
386. After taking all these factors into consideration, we have come to the conclusion that it will be in the interests of Andhra as well as Telangana if, for the present, the Telangana area is constituted into a separate State, which may be known as the Hyderabad State, with provision for its unification with Andhra after the general elections likely to be held in or about 1961, if by a two-thirds majority the legislature of the residuary Hyderabad State expresses itself in favour of such unification.
387. The advantage of this arrangement will be that, while the objective of the unification of the Andhras will neither be blurred nor impeded during a period of five or six years, the two governments may have stabilised their administrative machinery, and, if possible, also reviewed their land revenue systems, etc., the object in view being the attainment of uniformity. The intervening period may incidentally provide an opportunity for allaying apprehensions and achieving the consensus of opinion necessary for a real union between the two States.
388. Andhra and Telangana have common interests and we hope these interests will tend to bring the people closer to each other. If, however,our hopes for the development of the environment and conditions congenial to the unification of the two areas do not materialise and if public sentiment in Telangana crystalises itself against the unification of the two States, Telangana will have to continue as a separate unit.
389. The State of Hyderabad (as we would prefer to call this unit), to be constituted for the time being, should consist of the following districts, namely, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda, Warangal including Khammam, Karimnagar, Adilabad, Nizamabad, Hyderabad, Medak and Bidar and the Munagala enclave in Nalgonda district belonging to the Krishna district of the existing Andhra State. 390. As has been stated elsewhere in this report, this Commission have examined the boundaries of the prospective States on the principle that the administrative structure of the existing districts should be disturbed as little as possible, and that where any changes are proposed, they should either follow a substantial measure of agreement between the States concerned or be justified independently by reason of special circumstances which cannot be ignored. We believe that both the changes which we have suggested and the changes which we have not proposed can be explained on these grounds.
391. The Sironcha tehsil of Chanda district, which has been claimed for Vishalandhra and which is geographically contiguous to Telangana, has not been included in the Hyderabad State. The Teluguspeaking percentage in this tehsil is only about 51.2. The Andhra case, therefore, rests in part on the fact that about eighty years ago this tehsil was administratively part of the Upper Godavari district. We have found no strong grounds in this case for disturbing the status quo.
392. The entire district of Bidar has been included in Hyderabad State on the same principles. This is a multilingual district, in which Marathi, Kannada, Urdu and Telugu are spoken respectively by 39, 28, 16 and 15 per cent of the population. Administratively, Bidar has very close links with Hyderabad and even Telangana at the present time. The major river which runs through the district, namely, the Manjira, is utilised, for example, in the Medak district. The railway system links the Marathi-speaking taluks of the district very easily with Hyderabad, and the national highway provides a direct connection between the Kannada-speaking taluks and this city. The undoubted Kannada areas are also somewhat remote from Bangalore and Mysore; and the north-western strip, which is Marathi-speaking, is likewise far removed from Bombay. Consistently with our general view that districts should not be broken up, except where compelling reasons for doing so exist, we have recommended that Bidar should not be disintegrated merely in order that linguistic claims in the north-west or in the south may be respected. We consider that it should remain with the residuary Hyderabad State.
393. The Hyderabad State with the boundaries which we have indicated will be a compact and well-knit unit with an area of about 45,300 sq. miles and a population of about 11.3 millions.
