Editorial Note We are happy to bring out this issue. This time also there has been an overwhelming response from the writers. Since one of the objectives of this journal is to encourage the Research Scholars and teachers publishing their works, I feel that this objective has been fulfilled. The issue of separate statehood for Telangana has been at the focal point of discussion in the media. The appointment of Sri Krishna Committee, its terms and references and its recommendations generated a lot of debate in the State of Andhra Pradesh. Identifying the needs and aspirations of the people, making them active participants in the development activities is another vital issue in policy making. Gender discrimination in different fields has become a matter of great concern. Media industry, being a growing industry, a lot of discussion is taking place on the position of women in media. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) has become another important issue to ponder over. At the global level, recession and the political crisis in Egypt became important area of concern for the world countries. Considering all these issue, in the current issue, analysis on Telangana issue, need assessment of residents in Adilabad district, gender issues in media, impact of global recession, special economic zones, media and politics have been given importance. Since this is a multilingual journal, research papers on tribal languages, progressive thoughts of Annamayya. New dimensions showing Dasarathi and folk literature of Mahaboobnagar district have been given importance in the Telugu segment of the journal. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the authors and hope that more teachers and scholars will come forward to send their research papers. I am confident that the various papers in this issue will be useful to the readers in consolidating their knowledge base and add further value to research on socio-economic and cultural subjects.

Simhadri The situation in the State of Andhra Pradesh with reference to the demand for a separate State of Telangana, as well as the demand for maintaining the present status of a united Andhra Pradesh, needs to be examined in the light of the movement for a separate Telangana state and also because of the Government of India’s decision on December 9, 2009. The Union Home Minister convened an all Party meeting on January 5, 2010 at Delhi and read out a policy statement, highlighting the sequence of events that have taken place for the last five decades. In his policy statement , the Union Home Minister highlighted the developments in AP and the key issues, namely: Violation of Safeguards, Manifestos of all political parties and their commitment for a separate Telangana State during 2009 elections, All party consensus in support of separate Telangana, etc. The article analyses the three terms of references given to the Sri Krishna Committee set up to examine the demand for a separate Telangana State. Profiling Telangana is discussed as an introduction. This is followed by first section on separate state demand. The second Prof. S. Simhadri is Professor of Geography, Osmania University. This report was submitted to Justice Srikrishna Committee set up by the Union Government for consultations on the situation in Andhra Pradesh. January - June 2011, Vol 2; Issue 2 2 Osmania Journal of Arts section examines the developments since the formation of the State of Andhra Pradesh. The third section analyses the development impact on SC/ST/OBC/Minorities. Finally, the article concludes with a theoretical perspective. Profiling Telangana Telangana is the land of constant struggles. Numerous battles were fought against all forms of domination and oppression. During 1940s, the land witnessed the historic Telangana armed struggle, where common people fought heroic battles against Doras and Patels. Nizam State, represented by Landlords, resorted to Vetti (free labour) -alienating people from productive assets like land and labour. The feudal regime unleashed terror among the service classes, artisan, pastoral, ‘untouchable’ castes and small and marginal farmers. Men and women in thousands lost their lives in the armed struggle. Razakars also contributed to the killing of innocent people. Landlords took the avatar of political leaders after Nizam State got merged in the Indian Union. During 1950s, Congress/ Communist leadership led the merger of Hyderabad State with Andhra State. There was a people’s movement for de-merger during 1969 and 1971. Several hundred students laid their life for the cause of separate state for Telangana. During 1970s, Telangana once again took up arms against landlords in the name of Naxalite movement and it is still going on. Hundreds and thousands of people lost their lives in the ‘war’ between Naxalites and the State. People of Telangana, once again, got into the mold of peoples movement during 1990s and it is continuing till date demanding revival of Telangana state. In the land of Telangana, lot of assertions have been witnessing during the past several decades. Anti-caste mobilizations have been going on demanding social justice as the State is increasingly getting polarised on basis of caste in the spheres of politics, development, institutions and culture. As caste and democracy cannot go together, such anti-caste movements can be seen as democratic movements redefining democracy, development and culture. Telangana has become an amalgam of violent and peaceful movements. There is a need for rethinking on the part of the State to recognize the people’s aspirations. Two Identities and consciousness History of Telangana before independence was dominated by Muslim rule. Andhra region got in to the fold of British colonial rule for over a century. Two ruling histories represent two types of administration: feudal and colonial. Feudal rule in Telangana empowered Samsthanadish, Jagirdars, Doras and Patels and enslaved huge masses of population coming from service castes, pastoral January - June 2011, Vol 2; Issue 2 Telangana — A claim for Statehood 3 castes, nomads, Dalits and adivasis and also small farmers. People of Telangana were denied proper access to educational and other productive resources. In such a scenario, the vertical and horizontal mobility got frozen for centuries in Telangana. The scenario in Andhra is different as the British colonialism provided education and mobility.
