Telangana became the 29th state of India after it is separated from Andhra Pradesh. Telangana was separated from Andhra Pradesh after the long struggled rebellion for Telangana, which is better known as Telangana Movement. K Chandrasekhar Rao was sworn as the first Chief Minister of Telangana and E. S. L. Narasimhan was sworn as the Governor of Telangana.

The word "Telangana" is thought to have been derived from the word "Telugu", which is the land of Telugu-speaking people. "Trilinga", as in Trilinga Desa, which translates to "the country of the three lingas". According to a Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva descended as linga on three mountains, namely Kaleshwaram linga, Srisailam linga and Draksharama linga, which marked the boundaries of the "Trilinga desa" which is later called `Thelinga`, `Telunga`, `Telugu`. One of the earliest uses of a word similar to Telangana can be seen in a name of Malik Maqbul, in the medieval time, who was called Tilangani, which implies that he was from "Tilangana". He was the commander of Warangal Fort.

History of Telangana
Telangana has the area of 1,14,840 square kilometres and the twelfth largest state in India. Most of it was part of the Princely State of Hyderabad (Medak and Warangal Divisions), which was ruled by the Nizams during the British colonial rule until India gained Independence in the year 1947. In the year 1948, after the following rivalry between the Government of India and the Nizam, Andhra Pradesh came under India`s Dominon. In 1956, Hyderabad state was dissolved and Andhra Preadesh was merged with the Telangana region of the state of Hyderabad to form the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Later in the modern age, after the decline of Mughals, Nizams came into existence with the patronisation of British East India Company and the British Government. After India`s independence and the transfer of power from Nizams, the Telangana Rebellion began. The Telangana Rebellion was a peasant revolt supported by the communists. It took place in the former princely state of Hyderabad between 1946 and 1951. It was led by the Communist Party of India. Telangana Rebellion revolt began in the Nalgonda district against the feudal lords of Reddy and Velama castes. It quickly spread to the Warangal and Bidar districts. After a long struggled rebellion Telangana was formed.
