Between 1991 and 2014, the Telangana statehood movement gained renewed momentum. Economic disparities, lack of development, and broken promises from earlier agreements intensified the demand for a separate state. In 2001, K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) formed the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), reigniting the cause for statehood. The movement gained traction, with large-scale protests, strikes, and political mobilization, including support from students, intellectuals, and civil society. The 2009 announcement by the central government to initiate the process of state formation led to further agitation and political unrest. After years of negotiations, debates, and protests, the Telangana Bill was passed in Parliament in 2014. On June 2, 2014, Telangana officially became the 29th state of India, with KCR as its first Chief Minister, marking the culmination of decades of struggle for self-governance and identity.
