The Telangana region was a part of several Indian empires during antiquity and the Middle Ages, including the Delhi Sultanate, the Bahmani Sultanate, the Golconda Sultanate, the Rashtrakutas, the Chalukyas, the Cholas, the Satavahanas, and the Mauryans. The Mughals and Nizam of Hyderabad governed the area throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. Under a subsidiary agreement, the Nizam’s gave up the Northern Circars (Coastal Andhra) and the Ceded Districts (Rayalseema) to British India in 1823, turning it into a landlocked princely state surrounded by British India.
