2012 Telangana protests
The 2012 Telangana protests were a series of demonstrations and agitation movements that emerged in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, primarily advocating for the formation of a separate state of Telangana. The protests gained momentum following the central government's announcement in December 2009 to initiate the process of bifurcation, which was later stalled, leading to widespread unrest. Sparked by a combination of cultural, economic, and political grievances, the agitation saw significant participation from various sectors, including students, civil society groups, and regional political parties. Violence and clashes with law enforcement were reported as protesters sought to mobilize public support for their cause, ultimately culminating in the recognition of Telangana as a separate state in June 2014.
