Question 7.
Read the following paragraph and interpret it.
“Rich people from the Coastal Andhra Pradesh outside the state began investing in a big way in purchasing land in Telangana, especially in and around Hyderabad city. While this brought investment into the region, the local people did not benefit much from this development and were in fact losing control over their own land to real estate developers”.
Answer:
According to the given paragraph, the people from Coastal Andhra and outside the state came to Hyderabad and invested for development. The investment came to Hyderabad but local people couldn’t get any sort of benefit. As real estate business improved in and around Hyderabad, the Telangana people lost their lands and the outsiders of Hyderabad and Telangana got no benefits.

The Telangana people have low literacy rate and so they are poor. They have no opportunities for jobs. Many rich people came to Hyderabad and they earned much money, Along with the rich people from Andhra and other states, ordinary people of their respective areas came to Hyderabad and settled in and around the city. A few companies brought people from entire villages and formed colonies on their names. Industrial areas are developed in Patancheru area. Thousands of watchmen, guards, salesboys, representatives, receptionists, and hoteliers are from Andhra area. There was a comment from Union leaders of Telangana, that the Telangana people are working as tea servers, attenders, and servers in the Andhra Companies.

There is another criticism that company benefits are for the rich company owners. Andhra people work in A/C rooms and menial jobs are given to local people. They are not permanent employees. Either they are contract or daily wage labourers. The Andhra people also humiliated the language and culture of Telangana. They exploited the resources of Telangana. In the names of Specially Economic Zones, the lands of local people were purchased and no jobs were given to them.

Now the two states are separated. They are developing by themselves. With new plans, they are moving forward. The two Chief Ministers declared that all the issues can be solved with negotiations. Irrespective of regions, rich and poor, all people in both the states should be developed. In a democracy, all people have equal rights. The landless Dalit families are being given three acres of land in Telangana. The deprived groups are also going to be developed.
