— Telangana celebrated the 9th anniversary of its statehood on June 2, 2023. — Telangana, the newest state of India, has a complex history. Pre-Independence, it was a part of the princely state of Hyderabad. While there were talks of statehood in the 1950s, the region was eventually merged with the adjoining Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh. Finally, in 2014, after decades of struggle, Telangana was carved out of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh. — Telangana comprised the south and south-east Telugu-speaking regions of the Princely State of Hyderabad.  Hence, statement 1 is correct. — In 1945, a communist-supported rebellion broke out in Telangana against the prevailing jagirdari (land-revenue) system.  Hence, statement 2 is correct. — As the state started falling into anarchy, India intervened militarily, launching “Operation Polo” to take control of Hyderabad’s administration.  Hence, statement 3 is correct.
