According to the area, it is the seventh-largest state in India and the tenth most populous state. The largest city in this state is Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. Historically, the areas covered in the state were known as Andhraapath, Andhraadesa, Andhraavani, and Andhra. The northern region of Andhra Pradesh is a hill. Here is the highest peak Mahendragiri which is 1,500 meters above sea level. The weather here is often hot and humid. There is 125 cm rain in a year. The major rivers of this state are Krishna and Godavari. On 2 June 2014, the north-western part of Andhra Pradesh was separated to form a new state of Telangana and Hyderabad the longtime capital of Andhra Pradesh, was transferred to Telangana. While Hyderabad was declared as the capital of both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for the next ten years. The physical set up of Andhra Pradesh constitutes the Krishna-Godavari Delta in the east, the Eastern Ghats extending from northeast to southwest and the Telangana and Rayalaseema plateau in the west River Godavari, the biggest among the rivers of Andhra and is also mentioned as a holy river in the Mahabharta. Next in importance is the river Krishna which enters Andhra in the Mahabub Nagar District. The climate of Andhra Pradesh is hot and humid. Southwest monsoon has a major role in determining the state’s climate. But winters are pleasant in Andhra Pradesh. This is the time when the state attracts many tourists. ADVERTISEMENTHistorically the earliest mention of Andhra appeared in the Aitareya Brahmana (B.C. 800) and was called Dakshina Padh . Only during the Mauryan age, we can see some historical evidence of the Andhra in Southern Deccan. According to Matsya Purana, Satavahanas ruled over the Andhradesa including Deccan for about 400 years from 2nd century B.C. to 2nd century A.D. After the Satavahanas the Andhradesa was divided into petty kingdoms and ruled by the Ikshvakus Anandagotrins, Salankayanas, Brihatpalayanas, and Vishnukundins during the period between the 3rd and 5th Centuries A.D. From 7th century onward Andhradesa witnesses a strong political rule by the Chalukyas. In the Medieval Period of 12th and 13th century, the area was ruled by Kakatiyas and was called as the brightest period of the Telugu history. A large number of temples were built, they encouraged agriculture, trade, and commerce. The Muslim inroads into the Deccan led to the fall of mighty Kakatiya Kingdom. The fall of the Kakatiya Kingdom resulted in the division of the Andhradesa and was ruled by the Reddy’s of Kondavidu (14th-15th Centuries A.D.), the Velamas of Rachakonda , and the Musumuri Chiefs. The Vijayanagara Rulers ruled the area from 14th to 15th century, when they built many temples and conquered many forts of Andhra. Then from the 16th to 17th century, the area was under the rule of Qutub Shahis. During their rule, Islamic architecture was introduced in this part of the country. The famous Golconda Fort, Mecca Masjid, Qutub Shahi Tombs are some of the monuments built by them. Aurangzeb the Moghul emperor, invaded the region and annexed it to the Moghul Empire. A Nazim was appointed as an agent of the Mughal emperor . Thus for 35 years, it was ruled by Nizams. After Aurangazeb died two foreign companies East India company of England and the Compagnie de Inde Orientale of France came into power. At the beginning of the colonial era, in 1758, there was a major fight between the British and the French in Chandriti, during which the British defeated Maharaja Anand Gajapati Raju of Vijayanagara. After defeating the Maharaja in 1792, the British acquired this area. After independence, Nizam of Hyderabad should have freedom from India, but he had to become part of India in 1948. In 1953, the Reorganization Commission of States was appointed to make Andhra Pradesh on linguistic lines. The Andhra State was merged with the Telugu language region of Telangana and was made Andhra Pradesh in 1965. Yanam was merged with Puducherry in 1963 and is currently one of the districts of Andhra Pradesh. Soon after, the Telangana movement started and the state was divided. Culture and TraditionA combination of many cultures has formed the present-day culture of Andhra Pradesh because some great dynasties have ruled the region like Ikshvakus, Pallavas, Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Vijayanagar, and Mughals .

IntroductionThe Indian state of Andhra Pradesh is located in the southeastern part of the country. On the east the state has a long coastline along the Bay of Bengal. On Andhra Pradesh’s other borders are neighboring Indian states: Tamil Nadu , Karnataka , Telangana , and Odisha . Roughly two-thirds of the people of Andhra Pradesh live in rural areas. The state’s large cities include Vishakhapatnam and Vijayawada. Amaravati was declared the capital of Andhra Pradesh in 2024. Before that Andhra Pradesh shared a capital, Hyderabad , with Telangana. Hyderabad is located in Telangana, which was long a region within Andhra Pradesh. Telangana became a separate state in 2014. Land and ClimateThe state has three natural areas. From east to west they are a long coastal plain, the mountains of India’s Eastern Ghats range, and a plateau. The coastal plain is well watered by several rivers that empty into the Bay of Bengal. The principal rivers are the Godavari and the Krishna. Their deltas are fertile agricultural areas. The plateau is part of the country’s vast Deccan region. Andhra Pradesh has extremely hot and humid summers, with temperatures often exceeding 100 °F (38 °C) in the central portions of the state. Winters are somewhat cooler. The monsoon season brings most of the state’s annual rainfall, which ranges from about 20 to 55 inches (50 to 140 centimeters). People and CultureThe population of Andhra Pradesh is highly diverse. The state is named for the Andhra people, who have lived in the area since ancient times. Their language, Telugu, is the official and most widely spoken language in the state. A small minority of the state’s people speak Urdu. Lambadi (Banjari) and a number of other languages are spoken by the state’s tribal peoples. The vast majority of the people of Andhra Pradesh are Hindus. There are smaller communities of Muslims and Christians. The Andhras have made important contributions to India’s cultural heritage. Kuchipudi , one of the main forms of Indian classical dance, is native to Andhra Pradesh, and the Karnatak music of southern India has derived much from Andhra roots. Telugu literature was prominent in the Indian literary renaissance of the 19th and 20th centuries. Agriculture is a major sector of the state’s economy, though that sector has been declining. Andhra Pradesh is one of India’s leaders in the production of rice. Other chief crops include cereals, pulses (peas, beans, and lentils), peanuts (groundnuts), corn (maize), cotton, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. The state also grows much of India’s tobacco, and its fishing industry produces large quantities of shrimp and prawns. The raising of livestock—mainly cattle, water buffalo, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry—has increased significantly. Andhra Pradesh is one of the country’s most highly industrialized states. Among the principal manufactures are ships, aeronautics, machinery, electrical equipment, processed foods, medicines, chemicals, textiles, and cement. It is the only state in southern India with significant deposits of coal. Other mineral resources in Andhra Pradesh include asbestos, mica, manganese, barite, and natural gas. Services—notably banking and insurance, communications, and public administration—provide the largest share of the state’s income. A governor serves as head of state and is appointed by India’s president. Real power, however, is in the hands of the Council of Ministers, which is led by the chief minister. The state has a one-house legislature. Over the course of the long history of what is now Andhra Pradesh, many dynasties flourished there, including the Mauryan in the 4th to 2nd centuries bc . The Satavahanas, one of the most renowned of the Andhra dynasties, came to power in the 1st century ad . They were patrons of diverse religions, including Buddhism, and also were great builders. In the 11th century the Eastern Chalukya dynasty unified most of the Andhra area. Under the Chalukyas, Hinduism emerged as the chief religion. The greatest kingdom in Andhra history was that of Vijayanagar , the dominant power in southern India starting in the 14th century. The area came under British influence in the 17th century. In the 19th century the Andhras played a decisive role in the rise of Indian nationalism (the movement for Indian independence). Andhra Pradesh was created as an Indian state in 1953. The region of Telangana became part of the state in 1956. A movement arose in the late 1960s to separate Telangana, which consistently lagged behind the coastal areas economically and socially, from the rest of Andhra Pradesh. By the start of the 21st century, the movement had grown dramatically. The people in what would remain of Andhra Pradesh strongly opposed giving up Hyderabad—the state’s most populous and economically important city—to Telangana. An agreement was finally reached that made Hyderabad the capital of both states for up to 10 years, to allow time for Andhra Pradesh to create a new capital. After that period, Hyderabad would be the capital solely of Telangana. In 2014 Telangana was created as a separate state of India. Ten years later Amaravati was named the new capital of Andhra Pradesh. Population (2011) 84,665,533.

Unsung Heroes of India’s freedom struggleIntroduction. In today's fast-moving world and tough competitive day-to-day life, the youth hardly find time for remembrance of our rich heritage and past. This becomes most crucial whilst the nation celebrates Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav (commemoration of 75 years of Indian Independence). The fight against colonial rule in India constitutes a unique narrative, one which is not marred by violence. Rather a narrative that is full of variegated stories of valor, bravery, Satyagraha, dedication, and sacrifice across the length and breadth of the subcontinent. These stories compose the rich Indian cultural heritage and traditions. Thus, the unsung heroes need not necessarily define the lesser-known freedom fighters. They may, at times, be the leaders whose ideals delineate the Indian value system. The Section on Unsung Heroes is an attempt to recall and remember forgotten heroes of our freedom struggle, many of whom might be renowned yet unknown to the new generation. The aim of recreating and bringing forth stories, which lay as faded memories of the past, shall serve as a medium of inspiration and encouragement for the coming generations. India 2.0 is not just about fuelling the spirit of India in any one particular paradigm of growth. It encompasses all spheres of life, most of all by enriching our hearts and souls. The spirit of India is incomplete whilst we take our unsung heroes along this journey of growth and development. Their ethos and principles ought to be recalled and respected.

Papers of Polavaram Left Main Canal Burned, Sparks ChaosVIJAYAWADA: Burning of the papers reportedly pertaining to the Polavaram Left Main Canal created flutter at the Polavaram project administrative office at Dowleswaram near Rajamahendravaram in East Godavari district on Saturday. Based on a preliminary inquiry, it was found that a sweeper working in the office removed all the photostat copies and waste papers while arranging the files in new almirahs as they were not required for usage, at the office. She later started burning the photostat copies and waste papers drawing the attention of the people. Rajamahendravara RDO (full additional charge) K.L. Siva Jyothi said, “Based on preliminary inquiry, we found that waste papers were burnt by the sweeper while clearing unwanted waste at the office. However, we have seized the material from the burning site for examination.” Latest NewsPapers burnt at Polavaram office; no files lost, says RDORAJAMAHENDRAVARAM : Burning of documents on the premises of Polavaram Irrigation Project office in Dowleswaram led to a controversy on Saturday. Speaking to the media, Rajamahendravaram RDO KL Sivajyothi said on receipt of information revenue officials rushed to the Polavaram project office, and collected some half-burnt documents from the place and examined them. The burnt documents were of no importance and they were all Xerox copies and waste papers, she maintained. The RDO said new cupboards were arranged in the office. While keeping files in the new cupboards from the old ones, the staff found so many Xerox copies and waste papers pertaining to the land acquisition in the Polavaram Left Canal area. So they wanted to dispose of them. It was wrong on the part of the staff to dispose of the papers by burning them without obtaining prior permission from the higher authorities, the RDO said. “There are 90 documents, and all are of no importance. I personally checked the documents,” she said. However, the RDO made it clear that they would initiate disciplinary action against the employees. DSP Bhavya Kishore and Dowleswaram CI Tippa Ganesh rushed to the Polavaram project office to inquire the matter. However, police said they have not registered any case so far. “If the revenue officials file a compliant, we will go through the matter and register a case,” they added. Related Stories |
