Dear Readers,

Today, we are discussing the state TELANGANA.

Static Awareness: An Insight Into The Indian States (TELANGANA) |_2.1
In SBI Clerk Mains, everyone got shocked seeing a good number of static questions other than Current Affairs and Banking Awareness. Well, this simply means what SBI is expecting and keeping up to the expectation, you will have to be ready for any kind of challenge. It is quite tough to chose what to study and what not to. Friends, its not easy to prepare current affairs, banking awareness and static awareness all at once and that too a week or two before exam. So friends, we are starting a series that will help you learn static general awareness in a state wise manner. Its classified in this way so that you can remember all the important things about that state. Today, we are discussing the state TELANGANA.

Telangana, as a geographical and
political entity was born on June 2, 2014 as the 29th and the youngest state in
Union of India. However, as an economic, social, cultural and historical entity
it has a glorious history of at least two thousand five hundred years or more.
Megalithic stone structures like cairns, cists, dolmens and menhir​s found in
several districts of Telangana show that there were human habitations in this
part of the country thousands of years ago. Remnants of iron ore smelting found
at many places demonstrate the hoary roots of artisanship and tool making in
Telangana for at least two thousand years. The reference to AsmakaJanapada,
part of present Telangana, as one of the 16 Janapadas in ancient India proves
that there exist​ed an advanced stage of society.
Chief Minister – Sri K ChandrashekarRao
