Paper I · 14 Society, Culture, Heritage, Arts & Literature of Telangana · 14.7 State symbols, language, cuisine and personalities

14.7.1 State symbols, the Telangana dialect and vocabulary, cuisine and 'firsts' of Telangana

Telangana, India's 29th state at its formation on 2 June 2014, is identified by its symbols (Palapitta, Jinka, Jammi, Tangedu, the murrel), its anthem "Jaya Jayahe Telangana" (official since 2024), its Deccani-flavoured Telugu, a food culture that runs from jonna rotte and sarva pindi to Hyderabadi biryani and haleem, and a set of "firsts" that exams ask again and again.
