(Kona Seema). During Colonial Indian times, the Northern Circars was part of British Madras Presidency which eventually became Coastal Andhra region. The Nizams who ruled Hyderabad surrendered a few regions under their jurisdiction to the British which later was named Raayala Seema.
The state was gained by the people with the help of great leader Potti Sreeramulu, a freedom fighter who fasted unto death in 1952 protesting for a separate state. After his death in 1953, the central government announced the statehood and Kurnool was made the capital. Later the State Reorganization Act merged the Telugu-speaking people under one province and Hyderabad was made the capital of the state.
