Srikrishna Committee report on Andhra Pradesh state

Just finished reading the Srikrishna committee summary & the sixth options. These files can be downloaded from Eenadu. In summary they've proposed six options and below are the options


  1. Maintain Status-Quo
  2. Bifurcate in to Seemandhra & Telengana - Hyderabad as union territory, two states to have their own capitals in the future
  3. Bifurcate in to Rayala Telengana & Andhra - Hyderabad within Rayala Telangana
  4. Bifurcate in to Seemandhra & Telengana - Hyderabad as union territory & Common Capital
  5. Bifurcate in to Seemandhra & Telengana - Hyderabad within Telangana & Seemandhra to have a new Capital
  6. Keep the state united - Offer package to Telangana


Now the committee itself felt that first three options are not practical. What's interesting is the Committee mentioned clearly that the Option-6 is the best approach & Option-5 is the second best (Pg. 458, line3). So indirectly the committee recommends to continue status-quo but to pacify the agitation grant some package to Telangana. On the other hand the Committee itself mentioned in the previous pages that after Independence the growth is at it's best in Telangana region followed by coastal region and it's worse in Seema. So ideally speaking the package or the benefits should go to seema rather than telangana.

Anyway in my opinion this is more political rather than sentimental or any other issue. By the way I've heard that there are some demonstrations in US by pro-telangana. If it's true then the US citizens have every right to kick them out from the nation.
