In 2009 the Government of India announced process of

formation of Telangana state. After Members of Legislative

Assembly & Council from Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema

regions had submitted resignations in response to the

announcement, as well as violent protests raised in those

regions immediately after the announcement, the decision to

form to new state was put on hold on 23 December 2009.

Since Telangana was merged with Andhra state to form

Andhra Pradesh state in 1956, there have been several

agitations in Telangana to invalidate the merger and to form a

Telangana state. Finally it was formed in 2014.

Telangana

Telangana is a region within the state of Andhra Pradesh

that was formerly part of Hyderabad State ruled by the

Nizam.

Andhra Pradesh State has three main cultural regions:

Telangana, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.

The Telangana region has an area of 114,840 square

kilometres (44,340 sq mi), and a population of 35,286,757

(2011 census) which is 41.6% of Andhra Pradesh state

population. The Andhra State came into effect from

October 1, 1953 with Kurnool as its capital city.

7



Grievances of Telangana proponents

Proponents of a separate Telangana state cite

perceived injustices in the distribution of water, budget

allocations, and jobs.

Within the state of Andhra Pradesh, 68.5% of the

catchment area of the Krishna River and 69% of the

catchment area of the Godavari River are in theTelangana region.

Telangana supporters state that the benefits of

irrigation through the canal system under major

irrigation projects is accruing substantially, 74.25%, tothe Coastal Andhra region, while the share to

Telangana is 18.20%. The remaining 7.55% goes to

the Rayalaseema region.

8



According to the Backward Regions Grant Fund

2009 –10, of the thirteen backward districts located in

Andhra Pradesh: nine (all except Hyderabad) are from

Telangana.

A Telangana Rebellion happened earlier, that was a

peasant revolt supported by the Communists. It took

place in the former princely state of Hyderabad

between 1946 and 1951. It was led by the Communist

Party of India.

The revolt began in the Nalgonda district against the

feudal lords of Reddy and Velama castes. 9



It quickly spread to the Warangal and Bidar districts.

Peasant farmers and labourers revolted against the

local feudal landlords ( jagirdars and deshmukhs) and

later against the King of Hyderabad State.

The violent phase of the movement ended after the

central government sent in the army.

Starting in 1951, the CPI shifted to a more moderate

strategy of seeking to bring communism to India

within the framework of Indian democracy

Since Telangana was merged with Andhra state to

form Andhra Pradesh state in 1956, there have been

several agitations in Telangana to invalidate the

merger and to form Telangana state.

• In 1971 people voted for Telangana by electing 11 of

13 seats to Parliament.

• In 2004 people of both Telangana and Andhra voted

out TDP Government which went with manifesto of

United State, gave a positive verdict for Telangana

by electing Congress & TRS with huge margin.

• In 2014, Telangana. was formed

Telangana is on an elevated plateau. Godavari and

Krishna, flow through the area, but most of the land is

arid.

Northern Telangana gets between 900 to 1500mm

rainfall per year from the southwest monsoons.

Various soil types abound here, including chalks, red

sandy soils, dubbas, deep red loamy soils, and very

deep b.c. soils that facilitate planting mangoes, oranges

and flowers.

13



Southern Telangana gets 700 to 900mm rainfall per

year, also from the southwest monsoons.

The red earths with loamy sub-soils (chalkas) in

these parts facilitate planting oranges, mangoes,

vegetables, sapotas and flowers.

From Godavari out of 1430 TMC allocated,

Telangana is entitled to get 760 TMC whereas the

actual allocation is just 200 TMC. Godavari waters

irrigate over 12 lakh acres in Andhra while it is only 4

lakh acres in Telangana.

14



About 45% of the forest area in Andhra Pradesh state

is located in Telangana, spread across five districts.

Around 20% of the coal deposits of India are found in

Telangana. The Singareni Collieries Company

excavates coal for industrial purposes and for fuelling

power generating plants. The power generated here

supplies the entire south India. There are limestone

deposits in the area, which are exploited by cement

factories. Telangana has deposits of bauxite and

mica.

15



About 76% of the population of Telangana speak

Telugu, 12% speak Urdu, and 12% speak other

languages. 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.

Seemandhra (Coastal Andhra and Rayalseema

combined which is what will be left after

Telangana is formed) is now benefited from

Telangana, which is rich in industry and, more

primarily from a southern perspective, water.Of the three regions of Andhra Pradesh,

Telangana has the largest area (114,800 square

kilometres). The Deccan plateau has two majorrivers - the Godavari and Krishna.

20



Of this, Telangana alone has some 69 per cent of the

Krishna river and 79 per cent of the Godavari

catchment area. Besides, Telangana is also drained

by minor rivers such as Manair, Bhima, Dindi,

Kinnerasani, Manjeera, Munneru, Moosi, Penganga,

Praanahita, Peddavagu and Taliperu. Hope was,

once Telangana and Seemandhra are born, water

disputes would have to be faced and solved as

more water would be utilized to develop regions of

Telangana and the other region will receive far less

a share.



Telangana and Andhra were not bonded together

as a State.

People of Telangana had for decades, entrenched

feeling that following the ―forced merger‖, they

were exploited. With their resources used, they were discriminated

against when it came to education, employment

and irrigation facilities.

The Andhra Pradesh bifurcation issue was not

purely political.



Andhra evolved as a mosaic of business-minded

entrepreneurial communities who required Hyderabad

for a stable political capital and the resources of

Telangana for their sustenance.

Eventually, Telangana was used as an area and itspeople used as human labour for the Andhra

entrepreneurs‘ advantage and prosperity‖. It thus

became a State of peasant entrepreneurs withthe support of the traditional elite in the interest of

advancing their agrarian and business interests in

combination with political power.

HYDERABAD: An indefinite strike launched on

Sunday by electricity employees of Rayalaseema

and the coastal region of Andhra Pradesh hit power

supply in six districts of the state and also forced the

railways to cancel train services.

Hundreds of villages in six coastal Andhra districts

plunged into darkness as the electricity employees

went on an indefinite strike to protest the Centre's

decision to create a separate Telangana state.

Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde on Friday

said a 10-member Group of Ministers (GoM) would give

its report within six weeks comprising recommendations

on various crucial issues, including the boundary of the

new State, so that the bill on the new State could be

tabled in Parliament in the winter session (2013-14).

It would make recommendations on the boundaries of

Telangana, division of bureaucracy and sharing of

assets and resources, including river water and

irrigation projects.

25



The GoM included Ministers for Home, Finance, Law,

Water Resources, Human Resource Development,

Urban Development, Road Transport and Highways,

Power and Personnel Ministers, besides the Planning

Commission Deputy Chairman.

The Cabinet note said that the GoM would ―work out

the various legal and administrative measures to

ensure the safety and security of residents of all theregions of the State.

26



Since the Cabinet had recommended that ―

the city of Hyderabad will function as thecommon capital for both the States for a

period of 10 years, the GoM would have to

look into the legal and administrative

measures required to ensure that both State

governments function efficiently fromHyderabad. The GoM also studied issues

related to law and order in the region.



After five decades of independence, Seemandhra is

better off. It has a superfluous fishing industry, special

economic zone in Vizag and power generation

capacity of nearly 5,626 MW from both thermal and

hydel projects against the demand of 4,000 MW from

all categories of consumers. But the loss of Telangana

which is rich in natural resources and has filled the

combined state's treasury thus far, is still too big. In a

way, after nearly six decades of spoonfeeding, the new

state being born is actually Seemandhra and not

Telangana.

28



Hyderabad: The task force named by the central

government to study security related issues following

the decision to split Andhra Pradesh began its work

in Hyderabad on 29 Oct (Tuesday) by meeting police

officials.

The task force headed by security advisor to central

home ministry K Vijaya Kumar arrived in Hyderabad

on Tuesday and began consultations with top police

officials and former directors general of police. Vijaya

Kumar said the team would stay in Hyderabad for

two to three days. 29



The panel is expected to go into various issues,

especially law and order in Hyderabad in the next 10

years when it would be the joint capital of Telangana

and residuary state of Andhra Pradesh. 30



Speeding up the process for formation of

Telangana state, the central government

Monday set up the task force to study the law

and order situation in the state, particularly in

Hyderabad, in the post-bifurcation period.

The task force was likely to submit its report

to the group of ministers set up by the home

ministry to work out modalities for forming a

separate Telangana state.

31



The panel was expected to go into various

issues, especially law and order in Hyderabad

in the next 10 years when it would be the joint

capital of Telangana and residuary state of

Andhra Pradesh. The people of Seemandhra

(Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) living in

Hyderabad have been demanding that their

security concerns be addressed before the

bifurcation.

32



Hyderabad as present common capital

At present Hyderabad would not becontiguous with Seemandhra. There is an

alternative proposal for Seemandhra which

could resolve the issue of Hyderabad as apermanent common capital. This proposal

means that if the Nalgonda district goes to

Seemandhra, then this would enableHyderabad to be a border city of Telangana

and Seemandhra.

33



Seemandhra without Telangana can also focus on its

core strengths like ports, fisheries etc. As for

Hyderabad it's an overrated city, Visakhapatnam can

easily become a BPO.

The people of Telangana were concerned that their

region had a poorer economy than Andhra, though

they had a larger revenue base. They feared that the

irrigation projects on the Krishna and Godavari rivers

would not benefit Telangana proportionately, even

though people of Telangana controlled the

headwaters of the rivers.

Amaravati is the proposed capital city of Andhra

Pradesh. The planned riverfront capital is locate

on the southern banks of the River Krishna. The

new city will cover a site of approximately 217.23

sq. km., within the Andhra Pradesh Capital

Region.

The Capital Region itself will cover an area of

8,352.69 sq. km., straddling on both sides of the

Krishna River, in Guntur and Krishna districts.

A Singapore consortium has been

appointed master planners for the

new Andhra Pradesh capital city

and surrounding region, including

an 8 Sq km seed development area.

This is the first phase of the capital

city development project, which is

a partnership between Singapore

and Andhra Pradesh.



The foundation stone of the proposed city was laid at

Uddandarayunipalem village of Guntur district by P

M Narendra Modi in October 2015.

The new capital is named after the historic site of

Amaravathi, which will also be a part of the CapitalRegion.

The cities of Guntur and Vijayawada are the major

suburbs of the proposed capital
