Andhra is an ancient society of India. We encounter several references about Andhras in epics like Mahabharata, Ramayana, Puranas, and Buddhist Jataka Tales. They confirm the ancient existence of Andhra society. Andhra means "Leader in battle".

Post-Independence

India became independent from the United Kingdom in 1947. The Muslim Nizam of Hyderabad wanted to retain his independence from India, but his state of Hyderabad was forced to become part of India in 1948 as the Hyderabad state. Andhra Pradesh is the first state in India that has been formed on a purely linguistic basis. When India became independent, the Telugu-speaking people (although Urdu is widely spoken in Hyderabad and disticts of Telangana) were distributed in about 21 districts, 9 of them in the Nizam's Dominions and 12 in the Madras Presidency.

However in 1953, Telugu speakers of Madras Presidency wanted Madras as the capital of Andhra state including the famous slogan "Madras Manade" (Madras is ours) before Tirupati was included in AP. Madras at that time was an indivisible mixture of Tamil and Telugu cultures. It was difficult to determine who should possess it. Panagal Raja, Chief Minister of the Madras Presidancy in the early 1920s said that the Cooum River should be kept as a boundary, giving the northern portion to the Andhra region and the southern portion to the Tamils. In 1928 Sir C.Sankaran Nair sent a report to the Central Council discussing why Madras does not belong to the Tamils. Although historically and geographically it is a part of the Andhra region, the greater political dominance of the Tamils caused Madras to remain in the Tamil region. According to the JPC report (Jawahar Lal Nehru, Bhogaraju Pattabhi Sitaramayya, C.Rajagopalachari) "Telugu people should leave Madras for Tamils if they want a new state".
