Telangana Formation Day, celebrated on June 2nd, marks the official formation of India’s 29th state in 2014. The day symbolizes the culmination of a long struggle for self-determination, regional identity, and administrative autonomy. The movement addressed regional disparities and cultural underrepresentation experienced by Telangana when it was merged with Andhra Pradesh in 1956. The state's creation was driven by a history of protests, including the Jai Telangana Movement and efforts by leaders like K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Telangana Formation Day honours resilience, cultural pride, and the quest for equitable development and governance.
