Telangana Charitra - Samskruthi Rashtra Avatharana Udyamaalu [Telugu original]. This is a history of Telangana from the earliest times to the formation of the State. This book is published under our Sangam Books imprint. The formation of new State has generated public debate about its identity, specificity and distinctiveness. History enthusiasts and general public have been showing more interest in knowing about the historical and cultural legacy of the region. In all the competitive examinations Telangana history has been included in the syllabus. But so far no authentic academic work is available. Hence the objective is to provide a comprehensive account of the evolution of polity, society, economy, religion and culture in the Telangana region from ancient to the modern times. This book covers the entire history and culture of Telanagana from the earliest times to the present, i.e., till the formation of new Telangana State in 2014. The book contains the information on history of ancient Telangana; medieval Telangana and modern period. In this book proper care has been taken to organize the themes and chronology systematically.

There are 7 maps in the book which supplements the text in a very important way.
