The Telangana movement refers to the socio-political movement for the creation of a separate state of Telangana from the existing state of Andhra Pradesh in India. The demand for Telangana was primarily based on issues related to regional disparities, economic neglect, and concerns about political representation.
The movement gained momentum in the early 2000s, with activists and political leaders advocating for the formation of a separate state to address the perceived marginalization of the Telangana region. Proponents argued that a separate state would lead to more focused development, improved governance, and better representation for the people of Telangana.
The movement witnessed mass protests, strikes, and political agitation. The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), led by K. Chandrashekar Rao, played a key role in advocating for the cause. After years of intense agitation and political negotiations, the Indian government, in 2014, announced the formation of the separate state of Telangana, comprising ten districts of the northern region of Andhra Pradesh. The creation of Telangana marked a significant development in Indian federalism and regional aspirations.

The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a political forum founded in 1961, primarily by leaders from newly independent countries who sought to maintain their neutrality and independence during the Cold War. The movement aimed to create a group of nations that would not align with either the Western bloc (led by the United States) or the Eastern bloc (led by the Soviet Union).
Key principles of the Non-Aligned Movement include advocating for peace, sovereignty, and non-interference in the internal affairs of nations. NAM aimed to promote economic development, social justice, and equality in the global order. Founding members included leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, and Josip Broz Tito of Yugoslavia.
Despite evolving geopolitical dynamics and the end of the Cold War, NAM continued to exist, attracting a diverse group of member nations. Over the years, NAM has addressed issues such as disarmament, human rights, and economic development, promoting a multipolar world order and fostering cooperation among nations that choose not to align with major power blocs.
