| Description |
Youngest member of the Indian dominion and once the Princely State of Hyderabad Deccan (brought into the British Raj in 1798).
Upon its seizure by Indian armed forces on September 17, 1948 when its Nizam, Osman Ali, refused entreaties to join India, a nascent yearning from a restless population to carve out an exclusively Telugu-speaking state in the Telangana lands grew more pronounced.
The union government temporized by crafting a state out of the northern portion of Madras, calling it Andhra State on October 1, 1953, India's first state created on a linguistic basis. When this turned out not to be enough, India decided to lift out the Telugu-speaking districts of Hyderabad (since dissolved) and join them to Andhra state, renaming it the State of Andhra Pradesh in 1956.
Still displeased with a regional contraption thought ineptly clapped together, Telugu-speakers battled the federal government anew a further 50 years (known as the Telangana movement) until their wish for an all-encompassing Telangana state came true on June 2, 2014.
