a few doubts

#morons, #states

I have some doubts regarding the outcry for a new state of Telangana. These are not biased questions, just random thoughts from someone who wanted to study in ISB and settle down in Hyderabad!

Q1. Whose gonna pay for the substantial transportation costs and state taxes involved in moving goods to & fro from a land locked state?

a.? People? - aren't we already paying too much for our rice and cereals?

b.? Goverment subsidy? - if all the state's money goes into subsidy, what about the money that's supposed to go to developement of infrastructre in the state?

Q2. How and when would my intermediate(11th & 12th) records be moved from the existing captial to a new capital? I lost my originals, I really need to apply for my duplicates!

Q3. What about a case in the High Court that my grandpa has been fighting for the last 20 years? Would they delay it for another 10 years, since they had to move the paper work to a new High Court in the new capital?

Q4. Are people whose birth certificate says they aren't born in a place in telangana districts be kicked out? If yes, would the muncipal corporations be all reduced to muncipalities or panchayats? If the politicians are hell bent on sending away people not belonging to the regions, can they take the pillars of the buildings they built, with them?

Q5. If they are really going to rename Andhra Bank to Telangana Bank, how would they split the shares for the shareholders? Would the Andhra Bank board of directors approve such a thing or just close down their branches?

Q6. Wht would the vehicle license plates change to? - TL or TG or TA ?

Q7. Students whose geography lessons got stalled in-between the academic year, would they have to learn the india map all over again, since the state boundries would change?

Q8. In the future, if the problems don't get solved with a separate state and if the politicians start demanding for a separate country hoping it would bring more money and infrastructure, would my grandchildren need to get visas or would the passport suffice?

And yet the politicians think they would get to have their own seats by next year. #morons !

A1) In the short term telangana people, considering they wld depend on andhra for rice and cereals, might pay more. In the long term, if to believe telangana activists claim to make telangana irrigation better, they will self sustain. Imports from other states should remain largely unaffected. A2) I think you still completed under hyderabad. only future records must be affected. <

Its only pathetic that some number plates already got changed to TG from AP. I got only one question though. Does any of these idiots know the true meaning of 'Indian', nationality, 'Unity in diversity'? I bet they never heard of them

@naveen the only thing that concerns me is the immediate effects of a new state! irrigation and everything else would take atleast 7-8 more years after a state is formed. and that's a pretty long time, people have to wait. and yeah no one can legally do that, but the mafia n goons are gonna levy some kind of haftas by bullying or threating businesses and people. once
