Formation Of Andhra State
In 1953 Telugu speaking people of Madras Presidency started asking for a separate Andhra state but the Government was not accepting their demands. They wanted a separate state with Madaras as their capital.
Potti Sreeramulu went on a lengthy fast to make the government accede to their demands but he stopped when Jawaharlal Nehru promised to form a separate Andhra state. When the action was not taken for a long time he started fasting again in October 1952 and laid down his life in December trying to achieve the goal.
The demonstrations spread through out the Telugu speaking areas and finally the government had to act. 11 districts of the Telugu speaking areas of the Madras state voted to become Andhra state with Kurnool as their capital. 1st October 1953 was the day Andhra state was created.

| | Author: DR.N.V.SRINIVASA RAO.,M.Sc.,Ph.D 01 Aug 2009 Member Level: Gold Points: 2 | Andhra Pradesh is basically a state of telugu speaking.
But because of the trilanguage policy of Government many people can understand,speak and write english and hindi.
Andhra population is very fond of cinemas but they are wise enough to distinguish between acting and politics.
In the recent elections they expressed clearly their mind on this. Whenever cinema artists visited their places many people attended the meetings but they never voted for them.

History:
Although references to people called ‘Andhras’, who lived south of the central Indian mountain ranges, can be found in Sanskrit writings dating back to about 1000 BC, the earliest definitive historical evidence of the Andhras dates only from the times of the Mauryan dynasty, around the third century BC, Emperor Asoka and sent Buddhist missions to the Andhras. Around the first century AD, the Satakarnis came to power. They were one of the most well known Andhra dynasties and ruled over almost the entire Deccan Plateau. They even established trade relations with Rome. In the eleventh century, large expanses of Andhra were united under the reign of the eastern Chalukyas. The Kakatiya Dynasty of Warangal spread Andhra power in the twelfth and thirteen centuries. Their regime witnessed the rise of the Andhras as a commercial power to parts of South-East Asia. Muslim Invasion of south India led to the downfall of Warangal in 1323. However, the rise of the kingdom of Vijayanagar to the soiuth-west of Warangal prevented Muslim domination to some extent. The Vijayanagar Kingdom is often regarded as the greatest kingdom in Andhra history. Its greatest ruler was Krishna Deva Raya who reigned from 1509 to 1529. However, the glory of the Vijayanagar Kingdom came to an end when it succumbed to an alliance of the neighboring Muslim states in 1565.
In 1687, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb invaded Golconda and annexed it to the Mughal Empire. The Mughals appointed ‘Nazims’ as agents of the Mughal Emperor . For about thirty-five years the Nazims ruled the area. Then became the Asaf Jahi Nizams.
When the Europeans arrived in India and gained power, the Nizams of Hyderabad sought their help against their rivals. In this process, they acquired French and later british Support. In exchange, the British acquired vast stretches of land from the nizams. Over a period of time the British gained control over most parts of the Telugu-Speaking areas, the Telangana region, remained with the Nizams. Even the French acquired a few towns.
At the time of Independence in 1947, the Nizams held sway over Hyderabad and desired to gain independence. Hyderabad was then one of the most prosperous of the princely states and had substantial armed forces. For this purpose, Nizam Osman Ali enlisted the help of Kasim Razvi of the Ittehadul Muslimeen and its private army, the Razakars. Even as the Hindus of the state campaigned to join India, the Nizam banned the Congrss party in the state. As 15 August 1947 approached, negotiations between India and the Nizam reached a stalemate as Osman Ali refused to join India. Meanwhile, the Nizam’s police, the Razakars and the supporters of the Nizam perpetrated a reign of terror in the state. On 29 November 1947, Hyderabad signed a Stand Still Agreement with India. Hyderabad was allowed to maintain status that existed between the British and the Nizam before 15 August 1947. The Nizam sent representations to other nations to seek their support and even approached the United Nations Security Council.
The Indian armed forces launched Operation polo on 13 September 1948. It ended just over 100 hours later, when the Nizam asked his forces to cease fire, allowed Union troops into the Hyderabad territories and banned the Razakars. On 18 September, the Hyderabad Army surrendered and Major general J.N.Chaundhuri of the Indian army was appointed Military Government of the State. The Merge of Hyderabad state with the Indian Dominion followed. In January 1950, M.K. Vellodi, a Senior Civil Servant, was appointed the Chief Minister of the state. The first General Elections were held in 1952 and B. Rama Krishna Rao became the first popularly elected up Chief Minister.
Meanwhile, the demand for a separate Andhra state gained momentum. To complicate matters, a local Gandhian leader, Potti Sreeramulu fasted to death in 1953, the Andhra State, which included the Telugu-speaking districts of the former Madras state, was formed with its capital at Kurnool. Andhra Pradesh was formed on 1st November 1956 when the erstwhile state of Hyderabad was split and its Telugu Speaking districts were joined to the Andhra State. Neelam Sanjiva Reddy was the first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. In 1960, 221.4 square miles in the Chingleput and Salem districts of Madras state were transferred to Andhra Pradesh in Exchange for 410 square miles from Chittoor district.
