Telangana is the 29th state in the southern part of India. It was part of Princely state of Hyderabad (Medak and Warangal divisions) which was ruled by the Nizams during the British Raj till 1947, and later until 1948, when it joined the Union of India. In 1956, Hyderabad state was dissolved and Telangana was merged with Andhra State to form the state of Andhra Pradesh. On 2 June 2014, Telangana became the 29th state of India, consisting of the parts carved out of the ten north-western districts of the erstwhile state of Andhra Pradesh. [3] The city of Hyderabad will serve as the joint capital of Telangana and the residuary Andhra Pradesh for up to ten years.[4]
Telangana is bordered by the states of Maharashtra to the north and north-west, Karnataka to the west, Chhattisgarh to the north-east and Andhra Pradesh to the south and east. Telangana has an area of 114,840 square kilometres (44,340 sq mi), and a population of 35,286,757 (2011 census). [5] Hyderabad, Warangal, Karimnagar and Nizamabad are the four largest cities in the state.
