I pray that all this drama in Hyderabad ends soon.
March 11, 2011: Telangana agitators pulled down statues of some of the greatest Telugu personalities during the ‘Million March’ on Thursday at Tank Bund and threw them into the Hussainsagar as security forces stood by watching.The former chief minister, N.T. Rama Rao, had erected 33 statues of the famous personalities of Andhra Pradesh in 1986 and the poetic descriptions were written by the noted poet C. Narayana Reddy.
It all started with the demolition of Brahmanaidu’s statue, which they pulled down with barricade rods and pipes.
Statues of Vijayanagar king Srikrishnadevaraya, the Adhikavi Nannaiah and Errapragada, who translated the great epic of Mahabharat into Telugu, saint and composer Annamacharya who penned keertanas for Lord Venkateswara, composer and poet Kshetrayya, and architect of Kuchipudi dance, Mahakavi Gurram Joshua and Siddendra Yogi were pulled down and thrown into the Hussainsagar.
The agitators did not even leave the statues of Brahmanaidu, the ruler of Palnadu, Salivahana, the first emperor of Andhra, Gurujada Appa Rao, writer and reformist who had written Kanya Sulkham, Sir Arthur Cotton, the man behind the Godavari barrage, Tripuraneni Ramaswamy Choudhary, famous reformist and rationalist and Ballari Raghava, the noted stage artiste.When the statue of Siddendra Yogi was toppled, the city joint commissioner of Police, Mr Mahesh Muralidhar Bhagwat, was standing by along with at least 100 Rapid Action Force personnel.
But instead of taking any action, the police simply moved away.
I wish media gives more importance to news that can do more good to mankind and the state as a whole instead of splitting the states. Looking at the news daily makes me sad as I do not see anybody comming forward in India to do good for people around them.
All the political parties are stinking with all dirty ideas. It is time for a big change all over the state. No political party has genuine interest in doing any good to people. They are just using the innocent students. The students are unnecessarily wasting their precious lives.

What has been transpiring considering this issue for more than a year now is an unmitigated tragedy. The culprits are the silent majority. We have become so apathetic and alienated that nothing phases us. This is the state of the entire country. The only thing that brings us together these days is cricket (I thank the game for it!)where our national sentiments are expressed. This is why we are a corrupto-cracy today. We have no value for public and private property because there is no accountability. No one is held responsible for their actions.
I have set up a blog as a tribute to a people who believed in participatory politics-South African Indians the muse of Gandhiji.
