Formation of Andhra State from Madras State

October 1st, 1953 71 years ago

This was a significant milestone in the reorganization of states on a linguistic basis, which had gained momentum post-independence. The formation was the result of long-standing demands by the Telugu-speaking populace for better representation and governance, culminating in this landmark decision by the Indian government.
