The movement for the formation of Telangana state revealed the interrelationship between region, caste and power. The emergence of Telangana is unique in the sense that it raises a number of issues concerning dynamics of regional social formation, and power structure. Unlike in many states in India, the former state of Andhra Pradesh represented a unique feature of regional specificity of caste formation and dominance patterns. In this context this paper is an attempt to examine the factors which contributed for Telangana people’s active participation in the contemporary Telangana movement and with what vision and values they fought for the separate state. It also analyzes the role of Dalit-bahujans in contemporary Telangana movement, who have been neglected and undermined by existing literature and political structure.
