How do I prepare for the Telangana movement for the TSPSC Group 1 exam?

The Telangana movement was the movement that took place for the creation of a new state, Telangana, from the pre-existing Andhra Pradesh state in India. The new state corresponds to the Telugu-speaking portions of the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad. After many years of protest and agitation, the central government of India, under the United Progressive Alliance, decided to divide the existing Andhra Pradesh state, and on 7 February 2014, the Union Cabinet unilaterally cleared the bill for the creation of Telangana. Lasting for almost a decade, this has been one of the most long-lasting movements in South India.

On 18 February 2014, the Lok Sabha passed the bill with a voice vote. Next, the bill was passed by the Rajya Sabha two days later, on 20 February. As per the bill, Hyderabad would be the capital of Telangana, while the city would also remain the capital of the residual state of Andhra Pradesh for no more than ten years. On 2 June 2014, Telangana was created.
