History of Telangana and the Formation Day

If history has to be scavenged, the roots of the state can be found in the early age of 230 BC when Satvahanas ruled this land. It was soon when the Kakatiyas came into power and it was the time when Telangana experienced a Golden Era. 

Soon the Delhi Sultanate came into being followed by the Nizams later in 1799. 

After the British left India, Osman Ali Khan, the last Nizam was requested to be a part of the Indian Union territory for which he declined. As a result, the Indian army annexed the state and the Nizam had to surrender.

But still, the rift was there among people because they wanted a separate state of Telangana from that of Andhra Pradesh. The idea was coined in the year 2013 in both the Parliaments under the Prime Ministership of Manmohan Singh. 

Finally, it was on 2nd June 2014 when Telangana was inaugurated as a separate State and Sri K Chandrashekhar Rao became its first Chief Minister. E S L Narasimhan became the first Governor of the State.
