Why does asking whether Telugu and English should be prioritized in Hyderabad Metro trigger such hostility?

I came across this tweet from a self-proclaimed Telangana activist associated with the BRS ecosystem. The tweet was reacting to someone who questioned the inclusion of Urdu station names in Hyderabad Metro and argued that Telugu and English should be prioritized.

I'm trying to understand this perspective. Hyderabad is in Telangana, Telugu is the state's primary language, and a large majority of residents can read Telugu. Given that, why is it considered offensive to ask why Urdu is being displayed? And why would raising this question be treated as something that warrants hostility rather than discussion?

Agar aap meri jagah rehte to kya karte?

Meku malum thak gye hunga roz roz mere baatein sunke...but I can't rly understand how to fix myself. So just venting incase something helps

Meri life me sabse bada change aaya boleto- change in standard of living. It was as if someone shifted from Jubilee hills to some chaotic place. I lived almost whole my life in a place very calm,haad my own place..etc. Ngl,tab tak i stayed away from my dad and siblings and studied tediously. I shifted to my dad's family last yr. Yaha khud ka room ny hai, home environment is completely opp.. I just don't want to do anything here. Aadha din ya rehrum,aadha bahar/masjid etc

My dad is caring but i hate things he does (bus ek cheez pucha mai- a room for myself,i cojdknt get it),my other sis who has a baby- she's literally acting way too much toxic to me. Overprotective to her baby to the core that she doesn't let me touch him, har waqt ladai... She hits me and cries instead. And it's super uncomfortable living with my dad's family.

Mai last yr,Boht mushkil se sambhala...I went to a library and used to stay there whole day studying... Ab wapas jaana dil ny karra,I'm tired of that place. In December,I was forced to leave library just coz my sis wanted my help to bring her food due to pregnancy. Funny how the same sis I left my schedule for,makes me feel worse everyday.

Since childhood,I've been that A+ kid. 10th me 10/10 cgpa tha,inter me kuch 980+ (idk state board is hella easy or wt) but ab bus thak gya hu life se. Shayad home environment rly matters...coz when I went to the previous home i used to live- I don't feel this sad at all. Alag energy aati meku wa.

Before EAMCET,I was obsessed with IIT/NIT life- I didn't prepare for EAMCET so that parents allow for drop. Meku kya malum tha ki chizan itta kharab hote bolke. I thought my sis would leave after pregnancy or I'll go offline coaching-

Ab samjhme ny aara kuch bhi... Local clg pappa ke ghar ke paas milra but I'm rly not satisfied with wt I'm getting. Crowd would be completely different. Drop leke padhinge bole to ghar ke masle theek ny hore.

Ngl,I just don't feel the reason to exist anymore. It has been this way almost everytime but I was immature back then that I found things to live by. Ab kisme bhi interest ny aara.

How to convince parents to do masters abroad?

female, raised abroad, returned w family for college to Hyderabad. Don’t want to live here anymore bc living in India will make me go crazy. All my friends from school went to different countries for college, very few returned to India (to Hyd specifically bc here the living conditions are better compared to other states/cities)

how do i convince my parents to send me abroad for masters? I have one year to complete college. I’m interning rn, pursuing a tech role.

My family is pretty progressiv comparatively except when it comes to letting females study out of hyd bc “apna shehr bhot safe hai” notion.

Experience of fellow ladies pursuing careers/studying abroad is appreciated.

i can simply marry someone working abroad and then shift w him but i dont want to. yeh khuddari jaati nahi. plus i really dont wanna wait the whole “visa bhejte” period. too ambitious for that.

Aisich chale to kysa?

Economy is dropping at worse. 500 ki to value ich ny hai. Rest items are starting over 300. Petrol prices are surging...aise Boht chiza hai ngl.

Ab iski wajah se sab jobs karre...like in a family, husband and wife both are. I'm not against women working. But wt I've observed is- bacche bigad jaare.

Ab dekho,before ppl come in the comments restricting women completely...hamara deen ijazat deeta is cheez ka with certain boundaries ofc. But wt I'm trying to say is- make sure aapke cousins ya relation me jo bhi hai- wo bacchon ke saath time spend karo. Look wt they are watching, wt they are learning.

I'll tell u my personal experience-

Ik a family, both parents working and they have 2 kids. They stay awake till 1am watching yt shorts(elder) nd yt kids (younger). Ngl seeing shorts at this age? Attention span hamara ich itna kharab hai...I basically even stopped watching yt shorts and I see long form of content. But itne age me shorts dekhe ki shot hojate baad me. The kids are showing weird behaviour ngl.. like itna gussa? Throwing things? Ye sab? Darr hai to thoda ich. Above that they don't even home made food. Hamesha dukaan ku jaake kharidna. And evening chicken items ofc. Their parents are thinking they are giving them best life. How do I explain they are ruining them?

Now they are taking up loans,idk how to convince them to not take. But their situation isn't good either.

(I'll be back with my rant/vent soon 😭)

How being late born ruined ton of things.

So this is gonna be quite long. I rly wanted too type in Hindi but autotranslate is making it shit.

So,my maternal grandparents were into investing and real estate. So quite rich and also influential. Their fav daughter was my mother. Every child of them,had a son but my mom didn't. So my grandma made mannat or wtever that is. I was born quite late. My sisters were in higj schl, and I was in kg.

Later my mom died in few yrs,then since we were among the fav grandchildren...we shifted to maternal grandparents. Within few yrs, Covid came. Ppl were dying and my grandparents wanted to see their "great grandchild" so my sis got married early. A marriage that I still believe was a wrong decision,all due to rishta wali aunty. And later my grandparents died and we shifted to my dad's place which was completely diff. Like not even personal room for ourselves. Complete change in standard of living

I was among the brightest kid...Nursery se 10tj tak hamesha 10/10 cgpa except 9th (9.8/10). Wanted to choose Hostel for jee like my frnds did. Being the only male and youngest,couldn't join. Ended up changing clgs coz I didn't like the inter culture and ended up studying at home. 12th me they married my other sis off.

Till 2yrs,I've been carrying on the duties as an Uncle. Going to their towns,taking care of their kids,this that. They would come every other month and i literally had no room for myself,so studies were ruined. If that's not enough,my dad's money was being drained alot coz their husbands failed to provide few things... I don't blame my sisters for it,it's their right as well coz he is their father too and it's their home as well. I was uncle at such a young age, i can't believe. It's not much fun actually as it seems. U got a life to build at ur prime age but ur forced to foster care for someone and fulfil responsibilities before u could care for urself?

I lost the interest in life since 10th grade. I found no hope in life ngl. I was just living coz i cojdknt die. Due to this drastic change in life,no hope, disturbance at home... I cojdknt do jee. Boards? I was never interested in it. Yet studied last 15 days and scored fine. I knew i could do much better but I simply didn't wanted to study.

Funny thing is- my dad never allowed me to even go alone,ride bikes,phones location tracking...if i don't lift,straight up video calls. As if I'm some elite person.

I had always wanted to get into good uni rather than local ones. Ngl 9-5 for uni seems so weird and suffocating. Due to staying at home,I lost my frnds too. So no reason of joining clg just for frnds. Thinking of taking a drop,but due to my other sis marriage and preg stuff- I don't think so we have enough money for myself.

Travel charges alone for coaching aare 9k/month and classes began way sooner. I wanted to go in May itself,but they told me to wait.

My family is weird,there's some head kinda system. Dad says a decision but there's someone above,who takes things in hand. If we don't abide they threaten to cut bonds with us... Which would result in huge issues. Now acc to the head, if I'm taking a drop- I need to land in IIT or else they will....

I'm already stressed enough, coz I feel i can't do it in such environment. And alot time has passed. But I don't want to go to local clg serisouly.
