Telangana Formation Day: Significance

'South of North and North of South,' Telangana State has traditionally been a crossroads for people of various languages and cultures. It is without a doubt the best representation of India's diverse culture, pluralism, and inclusivity. Telangana is the link between India's north and south, located on the Deccan plateau's uplands. It's no wonder that the region overall became known for the Ganga-Jamuna Tehzeeb, and the capital Hyderabad as a "miniature India!"

The success of the Telangana Movement, which caused the bifurcation of then-united Andhra Pradesh, is recognised by the formation of Telangana. On June 2, 2014, a 57-year-old movement came to a head, gratifying the hopes of the Telangana people. The movement not only provided the residents of the region a distinct identity, but it also resulted in a change in India's map, which now shows the state's boundaries.
