Telangana State (INDIA):

The Telangana struggle has been a long battle and it finally may come to an end soon.
Heres a brief look at the Telangana story so far.Telangana is a region comprising 10 of

Andhra Pradeshs 23 districts. Originally, the region was a part of the erstwhile Nizams
princely state of Hyderabad. In 1948, India put an end to the rule of the Nizams and a
Hyderabad state was formed. In 1956, the Telangana part of Hyderabad was merged
with the Andhra state.
The Andhra state had been carved out of Madras Presidency in 1953 after Potti
Sreeramulus agitation for Telugu statehood. The people from Telangana were against
merger with Andhra as they feared job losses. That is because education levels and
development in Andhra were better than in Telangana
There were cultural differences too. Under Nizams rule, the culture and language in
Telangana bore influences of North India. In 1969, the Telangana movement intensified
under the leadership of Marri Chenna Reddy and the Telangana Praja Samithi. There
was widespread violence and over 350 protesters were killed in police firing and
lathicharge.
However, the movement could not last long as Chenna Reddy went on to merge his
party with Congress and was eventually made chief minister by Indira Gandhi. In 2001,
the movement revived once again when K Chandrasekhar Rao quit the Telugu Desam
and formed the Telangana Rashtra Samithi. In 2004, the Congress joined hands with
Rao, promising separate Telangana but later backtracked. In 2009, Chandrashekhara
Raos fast unto death forced the then Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to
announce the creation of a separate state of Telangana.
The Centre appointed a commission headed by a retired judge of the Supreme Court,
BN Srikrishna, to look into the matter of bifurcation. The commission submitted its report
in December 2010 and it was rejected by the TRS. Late chief minister YS Rajashekhara
Reddys son YS Jagan Mohan Reddys decision to quit the Congress to launch his own
outfit YSR Congress Party once again revived the Telangana debate.
Etymology
The name Telangana is thought to have been derived from the word Telugu, which is the
land of Telugu-speaking people. Trilinga, as in Trilinga Desa, which translates to the
country of the three lingas. According to a Hindu legend, Lord Shiva descended as linga
on three mountains, namely Kaleshwaram, Srisailam and Draksharama, which marked
the boundaries of the Trilinga desa which then is later called as Thelinga, Telunga,
Telugu.
The name Telangana was designated to distinguish the predominantly Telugu-speaking
region of the erstwhile Hyderabad State from its predominantly Marathi-speaking one,
Marathwada

One of the earliest uses of a word similar to Telangana can be seen in a name of Malik
Maqbul (14th century C.E.), who was called Tilangani, which implies that he was from
Tilangana. He was the commander of Warangal Fort (Kat aka pludu in Telugu).
