Jai Bholo Telangana

This is too much, Sathibabu! Got tired after overnight news coverage.

Where are you taking me again?

To mother's lap! - Whose mother's lap?

You were born and brought up in Hyderabad, don't you know mother's lap?

How do you know about though born and brought up in Andhra?

The day l came to Hyderabad in search of job, on getting down from train,

someone stole my purse,

the man who promised job left me in lurch,

l didn't know where to go, l was dying with hunger!

Brother, l'm hungry!

There's Mother's lap nearby! Go there!

Tea and bun for a rupee, a chapatti for a rupee,

a meal for Rs.10 is served there! Go there!

l don't have money.

Mother will feed you, if you don't pay, go!

Looks like you fainted in hunger.

Eat food!

Wait son...wait..

Eat!

l never my saw mother as l lost her when l was quite young.

When mother fed me like an angel,

l felt like she was my mother.

When l step in there, l feel like l'm in Telengana's courtyard.

Compassion!

Knowledge!

War!

Sacrifice!

lt all belongs to Mother's lap!

Many a people of this society were fed by her once.

Why are we going there now?

Today is Bandagi Gopanna's anniversary, Jayamma's husband.

Journalist Narayana has written an article about that family,

read it!

Will the family of Jayamma ever win?

Like sky giving rain,

like earth giving food crops,

Jayamma's family sacrificed their lives for Telengana's cause,

her grandfather in the armed struggle for Telengana,

her father-in-law died in the Telengana struggle of 1969,

then, her husband in the third generation, my dear friend Bandagi Gopanna,

Gopanna, my childhood friend who's the power behind my pen,

come, like the sun piercing through the clouds!

Hail Telengana!

lt's been many days since l saw you!

You filled my blood with music, you turned me into a war song!

Though l'm teaching many students now,

you were the first to teach me the lesson of struggle!

l learnt the power of friendship from you.

Your childhood friends are waiting eagerly to hug you!

Brother Gopanna! don't know why from my childhood days,

whenever l see you, l get courage,

fist raises on its own!

Born in the same village, went to the same school!

Remain as one breath!

Today we're moving as one in the struggle.

Hail Telengana!

Let our song of aspiration fly high like a flag amidst the masses...

Let this ring as people's victory song...

There's one birth and one death...

Life is for people...

Let any number of hurdles come, be determined to achieve Telengana...

Chant, hail Telengana, roar like a heavy downpour...

Chant, hail Telengana, a symphony of wounds and pain...

Hail the sacrifice of people who died along with my grandfather in the armed struggle.

Hail Farmers' Armed Struggle! 1948 Bandagi Gopanna's grandfather

We're living in our own land like slaves,

we've become coolies in our own farms,

we've been affected by the arrogance of power of the rich landlords,

the rich get thousands of acres of land and we're left with difficulties only,

to get what we toil for ourselves,

the tiller must own the land!

Tiller must own the land!

Let's reclaim our lands!

Let's beat the rich landlords and the Razakars behind them!

Wake up!

Fire!

We made the blood sucking landlords to run away...

We drove away the Razakars and ended the reign of Nizam...

Pride in the hearts...

Rocks of determination...

Clenched fists...

Barrage of stony determination...

ln the paths shown by the sacrifice of millions of warriors...

People's struggle that ended the rule of Nizam,

land of Telengana where thousands had sacrificed their lives,

became Andhra Pradesh as a linguistic state,

but still the injustice to this land hasn't stopped,

the difficulties of people of this land hasn't come to an end,

that's why, struggle for restoring self respect has begun!

1969 - Bandagi Gopanna's father

The rich have betrayed the accord!

They're stealing our treasure!

They're taking away our jobs!

To get jobs for the education our children studied,

to develop our villages which are backward,

we must get Telengana!

Hail Telengana!

The soul of Telengana had an eclipse in 1969...

369 students have sacrificed for the cause...

lf betrayal enters the courtyard...

There will be betrayers in the battlefield...

Treading carefully from the deceit... in the paths of sacrifice of great men...

lt's 27 years since 369 students laid their lives for separate Telengana,

Winning in the name of Telengana,

thinking about the betrayal of politicians who sold themselves to power in Delhi,

l feel enraged with anger,

from the days of Sammakka and Sarakka,

Saravai Papanna, Komaram Bheem, Bandagi, Doddi Kumaraiah, Chakalaiah,

many had sacrificed their lives,

though many struggled and sacrificed their lives,

the morning hasn't yet dawned in Telengana,

it is still struggling for freedom and self rule,

Hail Telengana!

Now l see you like arrows dipped in blood!

Let's keep this tempo and walk together like a weapon!

Let's teach the dilapidated walls and parched lands to fight!

Let's bring self rule!

To see a Telengana without hunger deaths, suicides and encounters,

people need freedom, equality and self rule!

So, let's fight for it!

Will those dreams come true at least now?

Will those sacrifices bear fruits?

Will the family of Jayamma ever win?

Greetings Chari! - Greetings Sathanna!

lt's been many days since l saw you! - What to do, Chari?

l've to do the duty of police by catching criminals.

How can l get free time?

Sathanna, you've gained good command on our slang.

What do you think of me? He's Narsing, our cameraman,

He's Chari, O.U. M.Phil. student, trying for job!

Who is Varshith? - Jayamma's son!

Brother, balloons are here.

Hi Daddy! Today is your anniversary!

Where's the voice that you sang for me?

Where are the hands you used to hold me up in air?

Didn't you remember about me while sacrificing life for people's cause?

l share my joys and grief with my daddy like this!

l don't like your face!

Your eyes are beautiful!

Your nose is beautiful!

Your cheeks are beautiful!

Your lips too are beautiful!

Do you know the second greatest thing our lips do?

Smile!

You're natural!

My name is Sahaja!

You didn't tell me about the first greatest thing done by lips.

l'll tell when we meet again.

Long live the sacrifices of great patriots...

Long live the memory of Bandagi Gopanna!

The man who sacrificed his life for the freedom of Telengana...

Watching Jayamma now,

l feel she's like Mother Earth, epitome of patience!

With mountains of sadness hidden in the heart,

with sea of tears in the eyes,

she's like Mother Telengana, crying in silence!

lf you deny our land to us,

war is inevitable, she's like a clarion call!

She's like the red parrot of Telengana!

Mother! Do you think Jayamma's family would win?

Seas without cyclones and storms,

wars without victory and defeat are impossible!

Without any connection to the trials and tribulations,

for their supreme sacrifices,

and for the inspiration they gave to me,

this Mother's lap is a creation of it.

So, we must fight to make the dreams of patriots to come true.

We must teach the modern youth like Varshith to fight for the cause.

What will you teach, uncle?

Sacrifices and struggles are utter waste.

What have you achieved with your lifelong struggle?

You don't even have a home of your own.

l don't think about things that are useless to live and for dying only.

What are you saying?

l don't want to spoil my life.

Because l know the pain of having no father.

When my great grandfather died, my grandfather was under 10 years,

when my grandfather died, my father too was under 10,

when my father died, l too was under 10!

None of us were lucky to experience father's love!

l'll not let my children face this situation.

l want to live full life for my children and keep my mother happy.

l don't want anything with sacrifices and struggles beyond this.

Long live Bandagi Gopanna!

Hello father!

Anniversary of Gopanna is going on!

Tell Narayana!

Till the great patriots live in the memories of people,

it's victory of Jayamma's family!

Hey Chari!

You look very glamorous today, uncle Subba Rao! Got salary?

My wife has come from hometown.

ls your Kakinada fine, aunt Srilakshmi?

Going great! Serve Kaja to all guests.

Kakinada delights with Telengana food!

Wait, add the delight of Rayalaseema too!

lt'll be great!

Eat millet delicacy! Cools your body!

Why did you take so much trouble?

You take care of anyone who is in trouble here, sister-in-law,
