Preorder Gautam Pingle's The Fall and Rise of Telangana on Infibeam.com

Prof. Gautam Pingle has penned down a book ‘The Fall and Rise of Telangana’ based on the real plight of Telangana in Andhra Pradesh, a state created by culminating three regions into one after the independence of India in 1947. Andhra Pradesh is formed by merging of three regions namely Telangana- a part of the princely state of Hyderabad, the coastal region of Andhra and Rayalaseema – both were previously the parts of Madras state.

The then prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru had also considered the provision of ‘divorce’ of all the three regions if the merging of all these three did not turn out to be mutually beneficial. However, despite of all the promises, policies, laws, agreements, and government orders that safeguards the interest of the people, the recent past has seen much of injustice and exploitation prevailing in this region.

Madras is the city with major source of income but the city was allocated to Tamil Nadu state. The author presents the current plight of Telangana where is suffers from exploitation, agitation, false assurances and broken promises. The book gives a deep insight into the politics, economy and social factors affecting the progress of this region. In the final chapter, Professor also proposes a model for tri-furcation of the state and how this can be made equitable and just. The book is vocal and hard hitting and is a must read for all the students of political science and general readers interested in the movement.

The Fall and Rise of Telangana is going to be out soon but few of the online shopping sites like Infibeam.com are already taking pre-orders for this book at amazing discounts.
