We both believe that the facts, historical or contemporary, do not support the argument for division among Telugu people. This Telangana separatist movement is fueled more by hate-mongering by vested interest groups than it has any factual basis. When when some facts are valid, they are either accidental, or twisted – but definitely not due to evil-design by the people of one region.

నేను తెలంగాణావాదినే. నా తెలంగాణ కోసం నేను ఏం చేయడానికైనా సిద్దమే. కానీ ప్రత్యేక, వేర్పాటువాదిని కాదు. నాకు ధమ్ముంది. ఆంద్ర పెత్తనం నా ముందు పనిచేయదు. ఆంధ్రవాడి మీద నేనే ఎదురు పెత్తనం చేయగల చేవ ఉంది. నేను మీసం మెలేసి.. తొడగొట్టి మరీ చెబుతా… తెలంగాణ మీల్స్ అని ఆంద్రలో హోటల్ పెట్టి మరీ అమ్మగలను.నా తెలంగాణను ఈ లుచ్చాల చేతిలో పెట్టడం నాకు ఇష్టం లేదు. మరో.. నిజాం పాలన నాకొద్దు. నా తెలుగు జాతి ఉమ్మడి సొత్తుతో ఇద్దరేసి ముఖ్య మంత్రులను.. పదుల సంఖ్యలో మంత్రులను మేపడం.. నా జాతి సొత్తు ఎక్కువమంది నాయకులకు దోచిపెట్టడం నాకు ఏమాత్రం ఇష్టం లేదు.

There is no conspiracy behind calling ourselves Andhras. We all are Andhras, we all are Telingis, and we all are Telugus.

I believe that there is a right way and there is a wrong [...]
I do not belong to any political party. Had I been a US citizen in 2000, I probably would have voted for Bush. However, In the last few elections I have voted straight democratic candidates. I probably will not do the same in 2010.

Foreword:
Recent events from the land of the Telugus, which is currently known as has Andhra Pradesh, have troubled me a lot. As a person with Telugu roots, and an advocate of Telugu unity I had enough of this nonsense. It is time to call a-spade a-spade!
For years various websites have sprung-up spreading a bunch of [...]
For years there is so much misinformation about the case for Telangana. I read all arguments, pro-Telangana and pro-united Telugu land. I read history, not the distorted history or rewritten history on many hate-mongering web sites. I read raw history!!
I, for one, think that the only legitimate argument to be made for the formation of [...]
