Over the period of British rule in India, it
consisted of provinces under the British
government while the princely states were
governed by local kings. India witnessed a
surge in the formation of states over the
period since 1947. The smaller division of
states had an immense effect on the country’s
overall dynamics. Andhra Pradesh was the
first state to be separated on basis of linguistic
factors leading to similar demands from
throughout the country. In this paper we have
carried out a brief study of formation and
development of Andhra Pradesh since 1953,
highlighting the reasons for demand of
separation of Telangana region from its
mother state and comparing the past to
present scenario of both the regions via
factors such as their socio-economic and
infrastructure development.
