'''Telangana Jagarana Sena''' is an outfit launched by the [[Telangana Rashtra Samithi]], an Indian political party striving to establish a separate [[Telangana]] state within the boundaries of India, on 10 September 2005.<br />
<br />
The goal behind the forming of the TJS was, according to TRS, to "counter anti-Telangana forces".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/2005/09/11/stories/2005091116220100.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051228025838/http://www.hindu.com/2005/09/11/stories/2005091116220100.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=2005-12-28|work=[[The Hindu]]|title=Telangana Jagarana Sena launched|date=2005-09-11|page =1 }}</ref> TJS ''sainiks'' wears a white uniform and pink scarfes (pink is the colour of TRS). The ''sainiks'' are training in using [[Fighting stick|lathis]]. TRS leader A. Narendra has however stated that TJS are willing to take up [[AK-47]]s in the struggle for Telangana statehood, a statement that provoked criminal charges against him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2005/sep/21trs.htm|title=FIR to be filed against TRS leaders|publisher= Rediff.com}}</ref><br />
<br />
TJS has been accused of being 'the militant wing of TRS'. TRS leaders have however claimed that TJS are committed to working within the limits of the Indian Constitution.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2005/sep/11tjs.htm|title=Telangana Jagarana Sena's militant arm criticised|publisher= Rediff.com}}</ref><br />
<br />
The Chief Commander of TJS(Telangana Jagarana Sena) is Koride Umakanth, a former [[Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh]] activist.<br />
<br />
The TRS formally launched TJS(Telangana Jagarana Sena) on 10 September to counter anti-Telangana forces, by organising a full-fledged training camp for lathi-wielding cadres. 'Chief Commander' Koride Umakanth, a former RSS vibhag pramukh at Hyderabad, heads the Sena.<br />
<br />
The first batch of 600 'preraks' (motivators) of TJS was given basic induction training at a drill. They would be imparted training in martial arts.<br />
<br />
The volunteers, donning white shirts and trousers and pink scarves (khanduvas), carried full-length lathis on their shoulders. Chandrasekhar Rao and Union Minister of State for Rural Development A Narendra, led the inaugural parade at the three-day camp.<br />
