Before we find out how the present Andhra Pradesh State came into being on November 1, 1956, we have to turn the pages of history a little to go back find the situation about this region prior to the independence of India from the shackles of the British Rule in 1947. The three regions of coastal Andhra, the Rayalaseema area and the Telangana regions were not the parts of the Andhra Pradesh until November 1, 1956. 

• Before independence, the regions of coastal Andhra and the Rayalaseema areas were part of the Madras Presidency which was province of the British India then. The Telangana region was the part of the independent native state ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad under British protection. Though there were 568 Indian native states ruled by the erstwhile royal dynasties of those states, Hyderabad state was the most important and a rich native state which was administered directly by the Governor General of India. 

• The ruler of Hyderabad state was thought as the most superior native Indian ruler by the British. At that time, Hyderabad state consisted of Telangana region where mostly the people speaking Telugu live (now part of Andhra Pradesh), 4 Kannada districts in Gulbarga division (now in Karnataka) and 4 Marathi districts in Aurangabad division (now in Maharashtra).
