THREAD on #Telangana and the history of its formation as a separate state. The States Reorganisation Committee recommended against its merger with the Andhra areas, so why did it happen?

The answer lies in the erstwhile state of Hyderabad that Telangana was part of
(1/n)
Telangana & AP were both part of the Nizam/Asaf Jahi state, but the Andhra areas were eventually ceded to the British in the 19th century.
Hyderabad state was annexed to India in 1948. At the time, it comprised of 16 districts.8 in Telangana, 5 in Maharashtra and 3 in Karnataka.
Population of Hyderabad population: 18.7 million.
Language breakup: 47.8% Telugu, 24.3% Marathi, 11.6% Urdu, 10.5% Kannada and 5.8% others.
In 1947, Hyderabad's last Nizam Osman Ali Khan refused to join India or Pak. He wanted to stay independent. But it wasn't going to work.

Today on #TelanganaFormationDay I'd like to remind us all that the separate statehood demand was not new, and that had its roots in the days that followed after the annexation of the erstwhile state of Hyderabad to India. #Telangana was part of it.
A short thread (1/n).
The erstwhile state of Hyderabad, ruled by its last Nizam Osman Ali Khan (1911-48), comprised 16 districts, of which 8 were I'm Telangana. Basically the state was half Telugu, linguistically.

Much before that, the Mukli rule were set in place, guaranteeing locals govt jobs.
Mukli rules were set in place due to an influx of North Indian Muslims (mostly UP) who were brought in much earlier by Salar Jung-1 to work in the Nizam administration.

Locals protested, hence the Mulki rule. This is one thing that Hyd folks wanted to be implemented post 1948

20 years ago, a long drive outside Hyderabad meant stretches of dry brown; desolate farmers near parched agricultural plots; women trekking long for water… Just 7 years into the emotion called Telangana, to see the difference, travel beyond Hyderabad… #TelanganaFormationDay Image
As a city, Hyderabad too has changed, but that’s what we expect in any case. The actual revolution, the transformation that Telangana is going through, is visible in its rural hinterlands…Symbols of which are those towering #MissionBhagiratha towers… Image
And then… the greenery… ImageImage
