Telangana, 38 @ geographical and politcal enity was born on June 2, 2014 as the 29th and the youngest state in Union of India. However, as an
economic, social, caltural and historical emit it has a glorious hisory of at least two thousand five hundked years or more. Megalithic stone
structures like caims, cists, dolmens and menhirs found in several districts of Telangana show that there were human habitations in this part of the
country thousands of years ago. Remnants of ion ore smelting found at many places demonstrate the hoary roots of artisanship and tool making in
Telangana for at Ieast1wo thousand years, The reference to Asmaka Janapada, part of present Telangana, a one ofthe 16 Janapadas in ancient India
proves that there existed an advanced stage of socisty.
One of the firs five disciples of the Buddha, Kondanna is atypical name from Telangana and though there is no exact information about his native
place, the earliest known Buddhist township of Kondapur in Medak district is believed to be after him. The Buddha himself famously
acknowledged that it was Kondanna who understood him properly. The Buddhist sources say that Bavari, a Brahmin from Badanakurti in
‘Karimnagar sent his disciples to all the way to north India to learn Buddhism and spread the message in this region, Megesthenes, wo visited India
inthe 4th century BCE, wrote that there were 30 fortified towns of Andhras and a majority of them were in Telangana. Inthe historical age,
Telangane had given rise co mighty empires and kingdoms like the Satavehanes, Vakotakas, Iksbvakus, Vishuukundias, Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, Qui
Shahis and Asif Johis,
The emergence and flourishing of these powerful political formations isin itself a proof of existence of a sturdy eoonomic, social and cultural
structure, Thus Telangana has been a vibrant socal entity by the time of the Buddha and continued to be so forthe next two and a half millennia,
Endowed with such rich cultural heritage, despite the attemprs by historians and scholars from Andra region co obfuscate and erase its history,
Telangang always retained and fought for its self respect ané self rule, Duc t the official efforts to ignore, eras, belie and look down Telangana
history and turn it into an appendage or a footnote, particularly during 1956-2014, much of ‘Telangana history is either not properly researched or
not recorded even iit was studied. Telangane rose again and secured its political identity now and is in the process of resurrecting its own glorious
past, Here isan attempt to reconstruct the history of Telangana, the wonderful musical instrumest with athousend strings.
Pre-history (Up to 1000 BCE)
Even though extensive exploration has not been done, particularly subjected to neglect
Stet 1956, the archacological department under the Nizams’
government had done tremendous work in discovering the traees of pre-historical human habitations in Telangana. These studies found that human
habitations in parts of Telangana can be seen from the Paleolithic age consistently. Bither the same locations or extended locations showed people
continued to live and develop through the Ister stages of Mesolithi, Neolithic and Mctal ages. Excavations discovered stone tools, microliths, cists,
ddolmens, eaims and menirs. Al the ten districts of Telangana showed these traces even when a proper, scientific and official research and
excavations have not been done and thanks tothe efforts of ether the frst generation researchers before 1950s or individual amateur explorations
Pre-Satavahanas (1000 BCE — 300 BCE)
In the historical age beginning from 1000 BCE there are some references of Telangana as a geographical entity as well as Telugu asa linguistic
entity, inthe contemporary Buddhist and mythological texts. However, it needs a detailed research to discover finer aspects and establish the stage
of development of pre-Satavahana society, Thought the official research into this agpect was stalled for about six decades, some enthusiasts like
Taekur Rajaram Singh, BN Sastry and Dr D Raja Reddy did their own painstaking explorations and showed thatch
before the emergence of the Satavahanas, Particularly Dr Raja Reddy proved with mumismatic evidence that there were rulers
was a flourishing society
re the
Satavahanas with Kotalingala as capital and issued their own coins. In these excavations the coins of Gobada, Naarana, Kamvaaya and Samagopa
wore discovered and at least two other rulers’ names came to ight. ‘Thus Telangana happens to be the first region i the subcontinent t9 have
issved puneh-marked coins with even insignia, The Buddhist texts as well as accounts of es and Arrian talked about this

Satavahanas (250 BCE — 200 CE)
Ater the fll of the Mauryen Empire, around the third century BC there arose the fitst significant kingdom under the Satavahanas from this region
Te earliest capital ofthe Satavahanas was Kotalingala and then moved to the other popular capitals like Pathan and Amravati (Dharanikota) onlyafter two centuries of their rule. However, the First capital was either ignored or brushed aside to give prominence to the later place in coastal
Andhra, The coins issued by the Sstevahana kings Simuke (BC 231-208), Siri Satavabane, Satekani I, Satasri, Satakani II, Vasitputta Pulumayi,
‘Vasitiputa Satakani and their governors were discovered in Kotalingala, Numismatic and epigrap!

Satavahana rule
Post-Satavahana (200 CE — 950 CE)
After the fall of Sstavahanas inthe thd century AD, Telugu-speaking areas were divided under various small rulers and til the emergence of the
XKokatiyas, for about six or seven centuries this fregmentaton continued. Even as the mainstream Andhra historians maintained tht it was a dark
period in Telangana history without any political formation, the current research found that Telangana was ruled by various kingdoms like the
Tkshvaleus, Vakatakas, Vishnukundins, Badami Chalukyas, Rashtrakutas, Verulavads Chalukyas, Kalyani Chalukyas, Mudigonds Chalukyas,
‘Kanduri Chodas and Polvasa dynasty. A detailed research into this period is yet to take place,
Kakatiyas (950 CE - 1323 CE)
The sub-feudatories of the Rashirakutas emerged themselves as independent kings and founded the Kakstiye dynasty around 980 AD and this
kingdom became strong and united whole of Telugu-speaking lands and lasted for more than three centuries and a half, The kingdom saw powerful
kings like Ganapatideva, Rudradeva and Prataparuadra as well asthe first ever woman ruler in the subcontinent Rudramadevi. The Kakatiyas ruled
from Hanumakorda in the beginning and shifted their capital to Warangal later.
c evidence showed thatthe Satavahanas ruled a
ature like Gathasaptashat, painting like Ajanta flourished during the
The Kakatiyas are known for thir irrigation public works, sculplure and fre arts. Thanks to the well-planned irrigation facilites and a perfect
system of chain tanks fo suit the undvlating nature of the terrain, the Kakatiya kingdom flourished economically Ieading to cultural progress also
Envy ofthis affluence, several neighbouring kingdoms as well as Delhi Sultanate tried to wage war on Warangal many times and failed. Finally in
1323, Delhi army could lay seize on Warangal fort and capture Prataparudra, who, according to the legend, killed himself om the banks of the
Narmada unwilling (o surrender when he was being taken as prisoner of war to Debi
Post-Kakatiya Interregnum (1323 - 1496)
‘After Prataparucra was defeated by Malik Kafur in 1323, the Kakatiya kingdom was gain fragmented with local governors declaring independence
and for bout 150 years Telangana was agtin under different rulers like Musunuri Nayakes, Padmanayakas, Kalinge Gangas, Gsjapalis, and

"South of North and North of South,’ Telangana State has long been a meeting place for diverse languages and cultures. It
is easily the best example for India’s composite culture, pluralism and inclusiveness, Located on the uplands of Deccan
plateau, Telangana is the link between the North and South of India, It is thus no surprise that the region on the whole
came to be known for its Ganga-Jamuna Tehzeeb and the capital Hyderabad as a ‘miniature India!
Geography, Polity and Economy of the region determined the culture of Telangana. Satavahanas, the earliest known rulers
of the region sowed the seeds of independent and self-sufficient village economy, the relies of which can be felt even today.
In the medieval times, the Kakatiya dynasty's rule, between the [1th and 14th centuries with Warangal as their capital, and
subsequently the Qutub Shahis and Asafjahis, who ruled the Hyderabad state defined the culture of the region,
Art forms
Some classical art forms received the royal patronage and attained finesse, However, the art forms of the innumerable
‘communities spread actoss the length and breadth of the State give Telangana its distinet identity.
While the Kakatiya rule Jed to evolution of dance forms such as Perini Sivatandavam, also known as ‘dance of warriors’,
the commone
faced with the challenges of daily life developed traditions of story-telling coupled with solutions to tide
over them through Golla Suddulu, Oggu Kathalu and Gotralu ete
Several art forms like above mingled and new forms emerged. The ubiquitous ‘Dhoom Dham’ is one such evolved and
composite art form. They generally were about the struggle and exploitation. People adopted the old sensibilities of theatre
and art changing the content as per the case and place.
A variant of Yakshagana, Chindu Bhagavatham is performed widely across Telangana, It isa theater art form that combines
dance, music, dialogue, costume, make-up, and stage techniques with a unique style and form, The word *Chindu’ in
Telugu means ‘jump’. As their presentation is interspersed with leaps and jumps, it gained the name of Chindu
Bhagavatam, Most of the stories nerrated are from “Bhagevatam’
Qawali, Ghazals and Mushairas evolved under the patronage of Qutub Shahi and the Asafjahi rulers in and around the
capital city of Hyderabad,
Festivals

Bonalu, Vinayaka Chaturthi, Dasara, Deepavali,
Sankranti, Holi, Mahashivaratri are celebrated with

Making circles around the assembled Bathukammas, womenfolk recite songs in a group. The songs have their roots inPuranas, History and even in the recent political and social developments of the particular region. The fete culminates in
Saddula Bathukamma where the villagers immerse the flower stacks in the nearby tanks and lakes,
Bonalu is a Hindu Festival, celebrated during the Telugu month of Ashadam (translates to June/ July of Gregorian calendar)

Mahankali onto her and turns an Oracle.
Next is Ghattam. A copper pot is decorated in the form of Mother Goddess. The Ghattam is carried by a priest and is taken
{n procession accompanied by ‘Pothurajus’ and musical instruments like trumpets and drums for the immersion. Pothurajus
are considered the brother of Mother Goddess and are represented by well-built, bare-bodied men, wearing a small tightly
draped red dhoti and bells on ankles with turmeric on bodies and vermilion on the foreheads.
While Ramzan is the main festival of Muslims, Mobarram too is celebrated on a large scale in Telangana, It is known
