The good of small things

摘要

Telangana is a territory of 35m people who make up about two-fifths of the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Many of them hope one day to have a state of their own. They claim a distinct history, and complain that they miss out on resources, such as supplies of water, that go to the rest of the state.A split should have happened long ago. For five decades protesters have sought one, with Hyderabad, one of southern India's largest cities, as their capital.
