Unfortunately what we are seeing happening in Telangana does not bear well for the Muslim community in general and the country in particular.
Firtstly I will justify this topic. According to me what is happening in Telangana is "history repeating itself". Which history am I talking about. It is the history of the Bombay state.
The 'Bombay state' was huge. Stretching from Karachi till Goa. But it was 'dissolved' and emerged 'Gujarat' and 'Maharashtra'. It is much like present 'Andhra-Rayala' and Telangana. Earlier also in the case of Bombay state, the status of Bombay city was the main question. If it does not become the capital of Gujarat or the capital of Maharashtra, can it become a 'city state' or 'union territory'.
The history shows what happened.
There was 'police firing' in which several people died and Bombay was given to the state inside which it lied and that is Maharashtra.
The plans to make it a union territory was 'shelved forever'. Now fast forward three decades and we find that Bombay is renamed as 'locals' would call it, namely Mumbai.
Similar is the case of Hyderabad but the difference is it was a semi-independent kingdom. After it failed to keep itself 'independent of India' and was annexed, it stood 'dissolved' and its territories were distributed to various states and it became confined to a city.
Now much like earlier, there is fight for Hyderabad. Andhra people want it, some people want it as union territory and 'locals' from region surrounding it want to keep it for themselves.
Also like earlier I feel 'the locals' will prevail and Hyderabad will go to Telangana and it is possible that like earlier 'some blood may be shed'. Also, we may see a 'Hyderabad renaming'. We may not have to wait three decades. It may happen immediately after Telangana comes.
Thus history is repeating and the happenings are eerily similar.
Ultimately, it the 'locals' who are of majority Hindus will prevail. Much like Shiv Sena or MNS same thing would happen in Hyderabad in due course.
