Andhra pradesh was formed in the year 1956 after getting separated from Madras state. It was formed by combining three regions on linguistic basis. The movement was initiated by a number of regional leaders among whom 'Potti Sri Ramulu' became one of the main reasons for the state formation. His continuous fast which prolonged for days together and ended with his brave death lead to the separation from Madras state and the formation of Andhra Pradesh.
Andhra pradesh was formed from three regions - Rayalaseema, Coastal Andhra and Telangana. Prior to A.P. formation, the region 'Telangana' was considered a separate part of India which was under rule of 'Nizam' kings. During the formation of A.P., people from all the regions came into a 'Gentleman's Agreement' stating that they will stay united until all the regions get mutually benefited. A lot of struggle was made to unite all these three regions and finally Andhra Pradesh was formed.
Madras state comprised of the green and red regions prior to A.P. formation. The red regions of current A.P. were Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra.

After Andhra pradesh was formed, many leaders ruled this land. A.P. was the home for lots of national leaders like P.V.Narasimha rao, Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, G.M.C Balayogi, etc. Many sports persons from A.P. like V.V.S.Laxman, Koneru Hampi, Pullela GopiChand, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal powered India's fame in the world.
Even USA president visited Hyderabad when he visited India and world's reputed IT organizations set up HITEC City in Hyderabad and Hyderabad became one of the most favorite IT destinations to many organizations in the world. Some of them would be Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, Dell, etc. Satyam Computers, Now Mahendra Satyam, the 4th largest IT company of India, is from Hyderabad.
A.P. being the centre of business in many fields attracted lots of investments during 1995-2005. With lots of organizations setting up their footprint in A.P., it went to become India's most productive state. But what was the only problem it had ?
Farmers in A.P. were not treated as good as others. They were neglected and no proper care was taken to ensure their welfare. This led to agitations among the farmers. And since the Chief ministers were always from Rayalaseema and Coastal regions, people of Telangana felt deceived and started protesting for their welfare. Due to the political pressure, not much development could be focused on farmers and many voices started raising only from Telangana region. And so the telangana people started believing that theirs was the only region that was deceived despite the Truth that it was all the regions that were deceived in the politics.
The one who takes advantage at the right moment always wins. So did KCR of Telangana. He ignited fire in youth who believed his words and went on to protest and sacrifice their lives for this movement. This is the real story. Telangana was not the only region that was deceived by the dirty politics. It was all the three regions that suffered great loss. And this is the TRUTH !!!
P.S. : I shall discuss the pros and cons of Telangana formation in my upcoming posts.
