Prosperity of Andhra & Telengana - Conflict

Hi Pattu,

As you are aware Andhra Pradesh has 2 distinct areas. Andhra ( under British rule before Independence) and Telegana (under Nizam Rule before liberation)

The British Engineers (with the help of Indian engineers ) built bridges, planned canals, irrigation systems, barrages etc  and used the water of the rivers to irrigate the land. The farmers prospered , literacy rates and education went up, famines receded . After Independence Indian engineers built on this foundation and this region become the rice granary of India.

Telegana on the other hand did nor develop, there were no industries, farmers had to fend for themselves, poverty and illiteracy was rampant and development was meagre.

The rich landlords and farmers of Andhra bought land in Hyderabad and built it up, industries were started with money from the fertile coastal areas etc and today Hyd is one of the top cities in India. Even today the children and grand children of those English Engineers (to their surprise ) are invited and felicitated by the Govt of A P.

Let give the devil his due !!

Cheers
