Telangana Day, also known as Telangana Formation Day, is observed in the Indian state of Telangana every June 2. This official holiday commemorates the day in 2014 when Telangana officially separated from Andhra Pradesh. The celebration includes various festive events that highlight the historical and cultural heritage of the region, such as flag-raising ceremonies, parades, political speeches, concerts, and fairs. The roots of Telangana's statehood can be traced back to a series of protests advocating for its separation from Andhra Pradesh, driven by perceived injustices in budget allocations and representation. The movement gained momentum over decades, culminating in the passage of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act, which led to the formation of Telangana. Since its establishment, Telangana Day has been marked annually with statewide celebrations.
