became "the region of choice for the fusion of two cultures."
The language of the people was Dravidian, called Telinga. Race and language had a glorious history spanning over 1000 years.

They have more affinity in customs, traditions and social institutions of marriage and the like with that of Sanskrit.
By nature the Telugus are considered emotional people. They combine in themselves the intellectual agnosticism of the Tamils and the mystical quality of the Bengalis, said Sarojini Naidu. The former state of Hyderabad, for example, has a polyglot character consisting of Telugu speaking Muslims constituting an influential minority. After the merger of the two regions in 1956, many people migrated to Telangana from Andhra districts, creating new social tensions.
