Telengana Movement

Demand for a separate state is not a new phenomenon in India particularly in some states like North East India, U.P., Bihar, etc. and of late Andhra Pradesh. The telengana movement is the theme of many research scholars, academicians, and also policy makers. The think tanks are nowadays busy in formulating a policy or plan for a separate state in response to the massive telengana movement. Telengana Rashtriya Samiti (TRS) with its leader Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) was formed in 2001 having the lone aim of creation of a separate state with Hyderabad as its capital. The creation of three separate states viz. Uttrakhand, Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh in 2000 had invoked fresh demands for a separate state in Andhra reiterating their demands which was started way back in 1969. The Srikrishna Committee of 2011 couldn't satisfy the Telengana leaders, instead there was Million March in February.
