Telangana forms the core of the Satavahana Dynasty (221BC-218 AD) and in
the recent history, it formed the core of the Golconda State and Hyderabad
State, ruled by alien Muslim rules, Qutub Shahi Dynasty (1520-1687) and Nizam
Dynasty (1724-1948), until she joined the democratic republic of Indian Union
