Telangana ( i/tɛlәnˈɡɑːnә/) is a state in South India

and one of the 29 states in India. It was formed on 2

June 2014 with the city of Hyderabad as its capital.[3]

Telangana is bordered by the states of Maharashtra tothe north and North west, Chhattisgarh to the North,

Karnataka to the west, and Andhra Pradesh to the east

and south.[4] Telangana has an area of 114,840 square

kilometres (44,340 sq mi), and a population of

35,193,978 (2011 census).[5] making it the twelfth

largest state in India, and the twelfth most populated

Union of India in 1948. In 1956, the Hyderabad state

was dissolved as part of the linguistic reorganisation

of states and Telangana was merged with former

Etymology

The name Telangana is derived from the word

Trilinga, as in the Trilinga Desa, which translates to

"the country of the three lingas". According to a

Hindu legend, Shiva descended in the lingam form on three

mountains, Kaleshwaram, Srisailam and Draksharama, which

marked the boundaries of the Trilingadesa, later called Telinga,

Telunga or Telugu.[7][8]

The word "Telinga" changed over time to "Telangana" and the name

"Telangana" was designated to distinguish the predominantly

Telugu-speaking region of the erstwhile Hyderabad State from its

predominantly Marathi-speaking one, Marathwada. After Asaf Jahis

sold and/or ceded the Seemandhra region to the British, the rest of

the Telugu region retained the name Telinga and the other parts

were called Madras Presidency's Circars and Ceded.[9]

One of the earliest uses of a word similar to Telangana can also be seen in a name of Malik Maqbul (14th

century CE), who was called the Tilangani, which implies that he was from Tilangana. He was the

commander of the Warangal Fort ( Kataka Pāludu).[10]

History

During its history, Telangana was governed by many rulers, including the Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE t

220 CE), the Telinga Kakatiya Dynasty (1083–1323), the Musunuri Nayaks (1326–1356) the Delhi

Sultanate, the Bahmani Sultanate (1347–1509) and Vijayanagara Empire (1509–1529). Later, the

Telangana region became part of the Golconda Sultanate (1529–1687).

initially built by the Sathavahanas and

modified many times by other

dynasties till 16th century

Kota gullu,temple ruins built in the

12th century by Kakatiyas at

Ghanpur, Mulug in warangal district

The Satavahana dynasty (230 BCE to 220 CE) became the dominant power in this region. It originated

from the lands between the Godavari and Krishna rivers and was based at Amaravathi and

Dharanikota.[11][12] After the decline of the Satavahanas, various dynasties, such as the Vakataka,

Vishnukundina, Chalukya, Rashtrakuta and Western Chalukya, ruled the area.[13]

Kakatiya Dynasty

The Telangana area experienced its golden age during the reign of the Kakatiya dynasty , which ruled most parts of the present day

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from 1083 to 1323 CE.[13] Rudrama

Devi and Prataparudra II were prominent rulers from the Kakatiya

dynasty. The dynasty weakened with the attack of Malik Kafur in

1309 and was dissolved after the defeat of Prataparudra by the

forces of Muhammad bin Tughluq in 1323.[14][15]

Qutb Shahi and Asaf Jahi's

The area came under the rule of the Delhi Sultanate in the 14th

century, followed by the Bahmani Sultanate. Quli Qutb Mulk, a

governor of Golkonda, revolted against the Bahmani Sultanate and

established the Qutb Shahi dynasty in 1518. On 21 September 1687,

the Golkonda Sultanate came under the rule of the Mughal emperor

Aurangzeb after a year-long siege of the Golkonda fort.[16]

In 1712, Qamar-ud-din Khan was appointed by emperor

Farrukhsiyar as the viceroy of Deccan with the title Nizam-ul-Mulk

(meaning "Administrator of the Realm"). He was later recalled to

Delhi, with Mubariz Khan appointed as the viceroy. In 1724,

Qamar-ud-din Khan defeated Mubariz Khan to reclaim the Deccan

uba, establishing it as an autonomous province of the Mughal

empire. He took the name Asif Jah, starting what came to be known

as the Asif Jahi dynasty.[13] He named the area Hyderabad Deccan.

Subsequent rulers retained the title Nizam ul-Mulk and were called

Asif Jahi nizams or nizams of Hyderabad. The Medak and Warangal

divisions of Telangana were part of their realm.[17]

When Asif Jah I died in 1748, there was political unrest due to contention for the throne among his sons,who were aided by opportunistic neighbouring states and colonial foreign forces. In 1769, Hyderabad city

became the formal capital of the nizams. The nizam Nasir-ud-dawlah, Asaf Jah IV signed the Subsidiary

Alliance with the British in 1799 and lost its control over the state's defence and foreign affairs. Hyderabad

State became a princely state among the presidencies and provinces of British India.[17]

When India became independent from the British Empire in 1947,

the nizam of Hyderabad did not want to merge with the Indian

Union and wanted to remain independent. The Government of India

annexed Hyderabad State on 17 September 1948 after a military

operation called Operation Polo.[13] It appointed a civil servant,

M. K. Vellodi, as first chief minister of Hyderabad State on 26

January 1950.[18] He administered the state with the help of English-

educated bureaucrats from the Madras and Bombay states, whowere familiar with British systems of administration unlike the

bureaucrats of Hyderabad state who used a completely different

administrative system. The official language of the state was

switched from Urdu to English.

In 1952, Dr. Burgula Ramakrishna Rao was elected chief minister of

the Hyderabad State in its first democratic election. During this

time, there were violent agitations by some Telanganites to send the

Madras state bureaucrats back and implement a rule by the natives

(mulkis) of Hyderabad.[19]

Telangana Rebellion

The Telangana Rebellion was a peasant revolt supported by the

communists. It originated in the Telangana regions of the

Hyderabad state between 1946 and 1951, led by the Communist

Party of India (CPI).[20]

The revolt began in the Nalgonda district against the feudal lords of

Reddy and Velama castes. It quickly spread to the Warangal andBidar districts. Peasant farmers and labourers revolted against the

local feudal landlords ( jagirdars and deshmukhs) and later against

the nizam Osman Ali Khan. The violent phase of the movement ended after the Government of India's

Operation polo.[21] Starting in 1951, the CPI shifted to a more moderate strategy of seeking to bring

communism to India within the framework of Indian democracy.[22]

States Reorganisation Commission

In December 1953, the States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) was appointed to form states on alinguistic basis.[23] An agreement was reached between Telangana leaders and Andhra leaders on 20

February 1956 to merge Telangana and Andhra with promises to safeguard Telangana's interests.[24] After

reorganisation in 1956, the region of Telangana was merged with Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh.

Following this Gentlemen's agreement, the central government established the unified state of Andhra

Pradesh on 1 November 1956.[25][26][27] G.O 553 of 1959 from the united Andhra Pradesh state moved two

revenue divisions of Bhadrachalam from East Godavari and Aswaraopeta from West Godavari to

Khammam for administrative convenience.

Telangana was the seat of numerous

dynasties. Chowmahalla Palace washome to the nizams of Hyderabad.

Telangana movement

There have been several movements to revoke the merger of

Telangana and Andhra, major ones occurring in 1969, 1972, and

2009. The movement for a new state of Telangana gained

momentum over the decades.[28] On 9 December 2009 the

Government of India announced the process of formation of the

Telangana state. Violent protests led by people in the CoastalAndhra and Rayalseema regions occurred immediately after the

announcement, and the decision was put on hold on 23 December

2009.

The movement continued in Hyderabad and other districts of

Telangana.[29] There have been hundreds of claimed suicides,[30]

strikes, protests and disturbances to public life demanding separate

statehood.

Formation of Telangana state in 2014

On 30 July 2013, the Congress Working Committee unanimously

passed a resolution to recommend the formation of a separate Telangana state. After various stages the bill

was placed in the Parliament in February 2014.[31] In February 2014, Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act,

2014 bill was passed by the Parliament of India for the formation of Telangana state comprising ten distric

from north-western Andhra Pradesh.[32] The bill received the assent of the President and published in the

Gazette on 1 March 2014.[33]

The state of Telangana was officially formed on 2 June 2014. Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao was elected

as the first chief minister of Telangana, following elections in which the Telangana Rashtra Samiti party

secured majority.[34] Hyderabad will remain as the joint capital of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for

period of 10 years.[35]

Geography

Telangana is situated on the Deccan Plateau, in the central stretch of the eastern seaboard of the Indian

Peninsula. It covers 114,840 square kilometres (44,340 sq mi). The region is drained by two major rivers,

with about 79% of the Godavari River catchment area and about 69% of the Krishna River catchment area

but most of the land is arid.[4] Telangana is also drained by several minor rivers such as the Bhima, the

Manjira and the Musi.

The annual rainfall is between 900 to 1500 mm in northern Telangana and 700 to 900 mm in southern

Telangana, from the southwest monsoons. Various soil types abound, including chalkas, red sandy soils,

dubbas, deep red loamy soils, and very deep black cotton soils that facilitate planting mangoes, oranges

and flowers.[36]

Telangana is a semi-arid area and has a predominantly hot and dry

climate. Summers start in March, and peak in May with average

high temperatures in the 42 °C (108 °F) range. The monsoon arrives

in June and lasts until September with about 755 mm (29.7 inches)

of precipitation. A dry, mild winter starts in late November and lasts

until early February with little humidity and average temperatures in

the 22–23 °C (72–73 °F) range.

Ecology

The Central Deccan Plateau dry deciduous forests ecoregion covers

much of the state, including Hyderabad. The characteristic

vegetation is woodlands of Hardwickia binata and Albizia amara.

Over 80% of the original forest cover has been cleared for

agriculture, timber harvesting, or cattle grazing, but large blocks of

forest can be found in Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve and

elsewhere.[37] The more humid Eastern Highlands moist deciduous

forests cover the Eastern Ghats in the eastern part of the state.

National Parks and Sanctuaries

Telangana has three National Parks: Kasu Brahmananda Reddy

National Park in Hyderabad district, and Mahavir Harina Vanasthali

National Park and Mrugavani National Park in Ranga Reddy

district.

Wildlife Sanctuaries in Telangana include Eturunagaram Wildlife

Sanctuary and Pakhal Wildlife Sanctuary in Warangal District,Kawal Tiger Reserve and Pranahita Wildlife Sanctuary in Adilabad

district, Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary in Khammam district,

Manjira Wildlife Sanctuary in Medak district, Nagarjunsagar-

Srisailam Tiger Reserve in Nalgonda and Mahbubnagar districts,

Pocharam Wildlife Sanctuary in Medak and Nizamabad districts,

Shivaram Wildlife Sanctuary in Karimnagar district.

Sacred groves are small areas of forest preserved by local people.

Sacred groves provide sanctuary to the local flora and fauna. Some

are included within other protected areas, like Kadalivanam in

Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve, but most stand alone. There are 65 sacred groves Telangana – two

in Adilabad district, thirteen in Hyderabad district, four in Karimnagar district, four in Khammam district,

nine in Mahbubnagar district, four in Medak district, nine in Nalgonda district, ten in Ranga Reddy district

According to the Backward Regions Grant Fund

Programme 2009–10, There are 9 backward districts (all

except Hyderabad) from Telangana and the rest are from

other regions.[40]

The religious makeup of Telangana is 86% Hindu, 12.4%

Muslim, and 1.4% Christian, and 0.4% others.[41][42]

About 77% of the population of Telangana speak Telugu, 12% speak Urdu, and 13% speak other

languages.[43][44] Before 1948, Urdu was the official language of Hyderabad State, and due to a lack of

Telugu-language educational institutions, Urdu was the language of the educated elite of Telangana. After

1948, once Hyderabad State joined the new Republic of India, Telugu became the language of government

and as Telugu was introduced as the medium of instruction in schools and colleges, the use of Urdu among

non-Muslims decreased.[45]
