The creation of a new southern Indian state of Telangana, consisting of 10 districts, has at last been announced. The new state is to be carved out of the 23 districts in the present state of Andhra Pradesh. It has taken over 50 years for the Telangana demand to be conceded, perhaps the longest time taken in similar cases in post-colonial independent India. It will be the 29th state in the Indian Union.
