Jai Telengana !

Telengana is one of the three politically distinct regions of AP, the other being Rayalseema and coastal Andhra. AP was created in 1953 by carving out Telugu speaking districts of erstwhile Madras state. This appears to have happened even before the recommendations of Fazal Ali committee which was formed during the winter of 1953 and subsequently recommended the creation of states on linguistic basis. 

It was only in 1956 that the Telengana region from the Nizam ruled Hyderabad became a part of United AP. This happened apparently after vehement representations from the people of Telengana region in the form of Andhra Maha sabha and other movements. The Nizam's rule is regarded as an exploitative and discriminatory one, an example being the absence of even a single Telugu medium school in the Telengana region.
