Noaman Ali takes an insightful look at other explosions in Hyderabad:

The same middle class Hyderabadis I spoke to seemed to be blissfully unaware of the land struggles of the poor, or, they simply didn’t bring it up in polite company. And, well, it disgusted me. Seeing the affluence in Hyderabad, contrasted with the sheer poverty, all of that disgusted me. Driving through Hitech City, its virtually and literally gated communities, and contrasting that with the teeming masses of “working” people’s hostels, that disgusted me, too. Listening to the upper-middle class members of Hyderabadi society talk, in their huge houses, about rising costs, and about their thriving rentals, and their properties, all of that disgusted me, too. But, I realized, soon enough, that I wasn’t really disgusted with any of that as much as I was with my place in all of that. Yes, ultimately, I was just disgusted with myself.
