Andhra movement
The Andhra movement or Andhrodyamam was a campaign for recognition of Telugu-speaking part of the Madras Presidency as a separate political unit in British India. The Andhra movement leaders alleged that the Telugu people were being suppressed by the Tamils, who dominated politics and government jobs. A similar movement was started by the Telugu people living in the Hyderabad State under Nizam's rule.[1] It achieved success by the formation of Andhra state in 1953.
