The different opinions of SRC #IndiaNEWS #Education Today
Hyderabad: This article is in continuation to the last article on the recommendations of the States Re-Organisation Commission.
Overall recommendations of the SRC:
The SRC opined that it is neither possible nor desirable to confine one language to one state or form a single state for one language. Therefore, it recommended the formation of unilingual, bi-lingual and multilingual states. The SRC gave more preference to the unity and integrity of the nation and administrative convenience was recommending the formation of states in India. Third criterion was language. It recommended the formation of 16 states including Hyderabad state. The recommendations of SRC were implemented in the form of the States Re-organisation Act 1956 with minor changes. However, only 14 states were created under the Act and the left out states were Hyderabad and Vidarbha.
Ambedkar severely criticised the fact that the SRC did not take into consideration the size of states in terms of population and geographical territory while proposing 16 states. This resulted in the formation of large states in the North and gradual decline in the size of the states towards the South. According to Ambedkar, this in future will lead to major differences between the North and South and finally result in a horizontal divide of the country into North-India and South-India.
Reasons for people of Telangana opposing the formation of Vishalaandhra
1. Migration of Andhra people to Telangana region started from 1920. The migrations were to those places in Telangana where there were adequate irrigation facilities as the intention behind the migration was to do agriculture. Initially, they started off as tenant farmers, gradually purchased lands and established their own colonies in the villages like Kammagudem, Guntur Gudem, ReddyGudem and so on in order to preserve their own identity. The migrant Andhra people considered the local language and culture uncivilised and therefore demarcated areas within the villages they settled in order to avoid mingling with the locals. Over a period of time, they gained political influence with their money and also started dominating in the cultural sphere. This was considered as an insult to their self-respect by Telangana people and led to the opposition of the idea of Vishalaandhra as there was a fear of complete loss of identity if Vishalaandhra was formed.
2. During the Vandemataram movement that took place in 1938 in Osmania University (OU), almost 350 students of Hostel B were rusticated from the University for defying the government orders and singing Vandemataram. The rusticated students first approached the Andhra University for admissions to continue their studies.
