During the colonial period, Andhra Pradesh was a part of the Madras Province. A significant campaign for independence arose in the region, and the new state, which included the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, was formed in 1953. On November 1, 1956, the state of Andhra Pradesh was formed with the incorporation of the Telangana area.

It was the first state established in independent India on the basis of linguistics.

Kannada Rajyotsava - Karnataka Formation Day:

Every year on November 1st, Kannada Rajyotsava, also known as Karnataka Formation Day or Karnataka Day, is commemorated. The state of Karnataka was formed on this day in 1956, when all the Kannada-speaking districts of south western India were united.

As part of the Karnataka Rajyotsava celebrations, the Vidhana Soudha in Bengaluru has been lit up. People formed a line on the road just across from the monument to take in the vista.

All over Karnataka, Rajyotsava Day is celebrated with great excitement and vigour. The red and yellow Kannada flags are hoisted at several key sites around the state, giving the entire state a festive appearance. 

Even as youth in several locations conduct out processions on wheels, the flag is hoisted at political party offices and various localities.
