TELANGANA IS THE NEW STATE.
Telangana plateau is in western Andhra Pradesh,
comprises of the northeastern part of
the Deccan Plateau, it has an area of
about 57,370 square miles, a north-south length of about 480 miles, and an
east-west width of about 320 miles. Mentioned in one of the Ashoka's edicts,
the region was successively ruled by the Satyavahanas, Pallavas, Eastern
Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, and the Vijayanagar kings until it became part of the
Qutb Shahi kingdom of Golconda.
It later came under the rule of the Nizam Shahi
dynasty of Hyderabad.
Since the
establishment of the Indian Union in 1947, there have been repeated demands for
the creation of a Telangana state, separate from Andhra Pradesh. The recent political developments in Andhra
Pradesh has left no other alternative other than forming a new state of
Telangana.
Geologically, the plateau is chiefly composed of Precambrian
gneiss. Its senile plain is marked by undulations, almost completely graded
valleys, and monad rocks that range from hill groups. The plateau is drained by
the Godavari River taking a southeasterly course; by the Krishna River, which
divides the plateau into two regions and by the Penneru River flowing in a northerly
direction.
The plateau's forests are moist deciduous, dry deciduous, and
tropical thorn. Most of the population of the region is engaged in agriculture;
cereals, oilseeds, cotton, and pulses legumes are the major crops.
There are multipurpose irrigation and
hydroelectric-power projects, including the Pochampad, Bhaira Vanitippa, and
Upper Penneru.
Industries located in Hyderabad, Warangal, and
Kurnool produce cotton textiles, sugar, foodstuffs, tobacco, paper, machine
tools, and pharmaceuticals. Cottage industries are forest-based timber,
firewood, charcoal, bamboo products and mineral-based asbestos, coal, chromite,
iron ore, mica. There is a dense network of roads, as well as railways and
waterways.
Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, is linked by air with major
cities in India. The language of the plateau is Telugu of the Dravidian family.
The plateau's important cities and towns are Hyderabad, Warangal, Kurnool, and
Nizamabad.
Ms. Sonia Gandhi promised the people to form a
separate state of Telangana during one of her election speech in Hyderabad Warangal and Nandiyal.
Hyderabad is one of the most advanced Information
Technology hub of the Country.
