After Indian independence, Telangana was part of Hyderabad State until 1956, then merged with Andhra Pradesh, and finally became a separate state on 2 June 2014.
Telangana is India's 29th state, formed on June 2, 2014. The name "Telangana" refers to the word Trilinga Desa, earned due to the presence of three ancient Shiva Temples at Kaleshwaram, Srisailam, and Draksharamam. A more historical reasoning is that during the reign of Nizams, the region was known as Telugu Angana to differentiate it from the areas where Marathi was spoken.
