TELANGANA ISSUE

 Andra pradesh is once again engulfed in the similar issues of dividing the state under the different circumstances .The vast undulating landscape of Telungana , the Telugu speaking part of the Nizamat of Hyderabad a princely state during the british raj has long been a scene of struggle .It saw a communist led peasent uprising against feudal land owners between 1946 and 1951. In 1948 a clash between secessionist and nationalist set the stage for Telunganas violent accession to the nascent indian union.Less than a decade later , lines blurred yet again when the demand for vishalandhra which ment the unification of all   Telugu speaking regions ,resurfaced 

                               Andra & Rayal seema were separated  from Madras state in 1953 after potti sree ramula fasted to death in december 1952 $ forced  the hand of then Prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru .    Andra state was the first state that was formed purely on linguistic nationality .  Later  Andra merged  with Telangana  in1956 based on their lingustic $  national affiinity to form the present state of Andrapradesh ,  Hyderabad as the  capital city . However this has resulted in two  major agitation ; Jai Telangana in 1969 $ Jai Andra 1972 both for separate  state .
                           
                                                 The congress lines , atleast initially was to refer the issue ,  along with  other demands for new states in various parts of the country to a second reorganisation  commission . Though there was talk recentlly of setting up such a commission , there has been no formal announcement as yet .
