factors that led to the emergence of telangana
Answers
I personally feel below 3 are the major reasons behind Telangana movement .
Unequal distribution of river water:
Its hard to digest the fact that drought prone Telangana region has 68–70% of the catchment area of major rivers in united andhra pradesh and 75% of the major irrigation projects like canals etc were only confined to costal andhra region, while Telangana gets only a share of 18%.
Discrimination against Telangana in development :
Though Telangana was the highest revenue generating region in andhra pradesh. Budget allocation for telangana was only 1/3 of total andhra pradesh and usually the budget allocated to telangana was never spent properly.
Since 1952 andhra pradesh had 11 medical colleges, among which 8 are from costal andhra region and only 3 were from telangana.
Only 20% of govt employees in andhra pradesh govt were from telangana, most of the senior officials and departmental heads were from the andhra region.
Govt of andhra pradesh and the leaders of andhra region always neglected and humiliated farmers of telangana, Farmers of telangana are the ones who started Peasant’s Armed struggle- 1946 against the Nizam/ Princely state of Hyderabad. Few years later, when telangana was merged with andhra they continued the struggle against the injustice, However their struggle was much inclined towards naxalism and it led to bad consequences.
Cultural discrimination:
In un-bifurcated Andhra Pradesh, Telangana language, literature, history and culture were being subjected to massive discrimination and degradation. The telangana movement was largely against cultural discrimination that locals suffered in their own land.
There are many other reasons which led to Telangana movement. People of Telangana always felt that, since the union of the princely state into andhra pradesh Telangana has remained neglected, exploited and backward.

With both Houses of Parliament having passed the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2014, Telangana is going to eventually become the newest—29th—State of the Indian Union. After sixty years of tenacious struggle the people of the Telangana region have, defying all odds and sacrificing countless precious lives, been able to secure for themselves a separate State. This is indeed of historic importance and the people of Telangana are justifiably feeling jubilant.
No doubt the people of Seemandhra are suffering from a sense of loss. They wanted an integrated State and did not desire the division or bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh. But practically nothing was done to help remove the sense of alienation from the minds of the people in Telangana. Being close to the reality and able to feel the pulse of the masses in Telangana, the CPI had after 2000 demanded a Rs 10,000-crore special development package for Telangana, priority for irrigation and indus-trialisation, more infrastructure, education, health facilities besides restoration of the Telangana Regional Committee, but such pleas fell on deaf years. The powers that be in Andhra Pradesh were literally unmoved.
As CPI General Secretary Sudhakar Reddy explained in an article in the Independence Day Special of this journal (Mainstream, August 17, 2013),
The ordinary people in the Andhra region whole-heartedhy desire a united integrated State. They think Telugu people should be in one State for allround development. But alienation in Telangana is so deep that an artificially forced composite State cannot exist any more.
At the same time he pointed out:
Telangana is not going to be a small State. It has a 3.5 crore population with 10 big districts. The CPI is firmly of the opinion that the Telugu people should continue to have cordial and fraternal relations even after the geographical political division of the State.
Now that Telangana is going to become a separate State, all efforts should be made to help the Seemandhra people overcome their bitterness due to the bifurcation. The Union Government and major political parties have already taken some concrete steps in that direction.
However, the uproarious scenes witnessed during the passage of the Bill in the two Houses have once again demonstrated the depths to which our MPs can sink. Yesterday the Rajya Sabha Secretary-General was quite badly manhandled by a TDP MP who was trying to snatch a paper from his table. And today the Trinamul and SP members in the Upper House went on a shouting spree while tearing copies of the Bill during the discussion which found the TMC and CPM members closing ranks to oppose the legislation. As the 2014 Lok Sabha elections are approaching, all parties—notably the Congress and BJP—are seeking to draw electoral dividend. The Telangana Bill is also being used for that purpose. Other happenings of late too have highlighted the political parties’ attempts in the same direction.
Nevertheless, despite all such sordid developments, the emergence of the Telangana State does offer a ray of hope that in the final analysis people’s aspirations cannot be suppressed for all time to come.
