Way back in 50 s a Hyderabad State was very much in existence and Nizams reign had  a harmonious spectrum of Brahmins(Malayalam/Tamilians/Telugus/ Maharashtrians) Kayasthas,Merchant Princes( Marawaris/ Gujarathis/Kutchies/P unjabis/S indhis / indigenous Vysyas) , Reddis, Gouds( Anjiah Goud of Paradise talkies fame),Velamas,Rajput descendants ( claiming presence from Kakatiyas'  period), various artisans ( goldsmiths/ stapathis/carpenters/ metal smiths) including 

weavers ( Padmashalis)/Tailors/potters and indigenous folk artistes( having flavours of Kannada/ Marathi/ Telugu/ Deccani) and of course theNizam' s Royal  courtiers ( of Arabic / Turkish / Iranian roots / local Moslems) and not forgetting the colorful Anglo Indians& Parsis & Sikhs amongst myriad others . 

The demography was akin to the later idea of unity in diversity  and Hyderabad was a perfect representative of what India ie Bharat ought to be. BUT  thanks to the selfish / egoistic/feudal / elitist mentality of Political Leaders of that time  a composite multicultural entity like Hyderabad State was parceled off to form finally present Linguistic States.( it is said that Telugu speaking areas of Hyderabad State were attached to the Telugu speaking Coastal Andhra and RayalaSeema to neutralize the prevailing Brahmin dominated Political Class by Reddis who were culturally rich and had feudal clout and were keen to join forces with Telangana Reddis).

Instead of crying over spilt milk can we the common people strive to regain our sanity and stop the self seeking politicians who cynically are indulging in electoral politics.

One solution could be to establish the erstwhile Hyderabad State and put it under Presidents Rule till people ie Politicians learn to accommodate all regions ' aspirations.
