The [[States and union territories of India|Indian state]] of [[Telangana]] was founded in 2014. Its territory had formerly been part of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. The [[Telangana movement]] was instrumental in the creation of the new state, and [[Telangana Rashtra Samithi]], a party which led the Telangana movement after 2001, forms the government in the [[Telangana Legislative Assembly]] under Chief Minister [[K. Chandrashekar Rao]].<br />

In the early Telangana movement, [[Marri Chenna Reddy]] formed a party called ''Telangana Praja Samiti'' to lead the Telangana movement. In November 1969, there was a major split in the party and as a result the movement declined. After two years the Telangana Praja Samiti was dissolved and its members rejoined the Congress.<ref name="aponline.gov.in">{{cite web|url=http://www.aponline.gov.in/quick%20links/hist-cult/history_post.html#Emergence|title=APonline - History and Culture - History-Post-Independence Era|publisher=aponline.gov.in|access-date=14 June 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131220113947/http://www.aponline.gov.in/quick%20links/hist-cult/history_post.html#Emergence|archive-date=20 December 2013}}</ref><br />
