Answers
Answer:
1969 Telangana Agitation was a political movement for the statehood for Telangana region. The first person to raise the issue of Telangana happened in 1968 during October or November timeframe. A hunger strike was being carried on by a person named Ravindranath on 1969/January/08[1] in Khammam near the Railway Station. He was on an indefinite fast and his prime demand was to implement Telangana safeguards. One other demand was his insistence on implemention of Gentleman's agreement. It is a major event in Telangana movement. In the indiscriminate police firing, 369 Telangana students were killed.
Non-implementation of Gentlemen's Agreement and continued discrimination to Telangana region in government jobs, education and public spending resulted in the 1969 statehood agitation. In January 1969, students intensified the protests for a separate state.
