| Summary, etc. |
The experiment of reorganisation of states in India on language seems to have failed as domination of a sub-region over the other and imposition of a 'development model' that produced negative results. While 'language pressure groups' succeeded in convincing political elites for carving out the first linguistic state in India, subsequent developments show that common language cannot always keep people together. In fact, differences in dialects of three regions of erstwhile Andhra Pradesh reinforced their primary identities despite standardisation efforts by media and other state agencies. The resistance to merge the regions was ignored by the leadership leading to many successive agitations for six decades. Historically, the demand for Telangana state has seen many forms of protest and accommodation politics. The recent creation of the 29th state of the Indian Union is credited to a unified movement of political parties, organised and unorganised pressure groups fighting under one apex body called Telangana Joint Action Committee (TJAC). This article attempts to reconstruct the role of TJAC as a pressure group and its unique forms of protest and mobilisation to achieve the goal. |
