telangana history

[shyamnaikbanoth]

Telangana is a region bordering the states of Maharashtra on North-
West, Karnataka on West, Chattisgargh and Orissa on North, and Coastal
Andhra region on East and Rayalaseema region on South; both these
regions were part of Andhra state and were merged with Telangana
region to form the current Andhra Pradesh state in 1956. The region
has an area of 114,840 km2, and population of 30,696,520 per the 2001
census.The name is derived from Telungu. The place where Telungu is
spoken is called Telangana. Some also say that the name is derived
from historical and puranic accounts of Tailangana Desha, meaning the
land of thill (an oilseed). The region lies on the Deccan plateau to
the west of the Eastern Ghats range, and includes the northwestern
interior districts of Andhra Pradesh state. Telangana region has 10
districts: Warangal, Adilabad, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda,
Rangareddy, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Medak, and the state capital of
Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. The Krishna and Godavari rivers flow
through the region from west to east.
On December 9, 2009, the Government of India announced that the
process for the formation of Telangana state would be considered upon
introduction and passage of a separation statement by the state
assembly of Andhra Pradesh.The Government of India has since
constituted a five member committee headed by Justice B. N. Srikrishna
to study the feasibility of a separate Telangana state within the
Indian Union.
