India as a nation is constituted of nationalities. Among them, the Telugu nation is located in South India. The idea of sub-national consciousness was more like the colonized nation. In 1956, Andhra Pradesh emerged as a linguistic state based on the state reorganization act which merged two Telugu-speaking regions: Andhra and Telangana. Andhra is located on the Coastline of the Bay of Bengal whereas the Telangana region is in the Deccan Plateau. In the movement for separating Andhra’s statehood based on the Telugu language, poets and literary persons played an important role. They evoked the glory of Andhra’s history and culture. In this paper, I propose that Telugu bilingual elite constructed an imaginative Telugu nation called “Vishalandhra”. The nation was supposed to speak for all the Telugu-speaking people and regions, which were historically different. In this imagination, the motherland was greater than heaven, “janani janma bhoomischa swargadapigariiyasi” evokes the glory of Andhra’s history and culture. This paper aims to understand the formation of the Andhra region through cultural consciousness coming through literary culture. The paper will also attempt to locate the poetics and politics of the dramatic literature in the formation of Andhra.
