The Andhra Pradesh of today is a state of 20 districts, which corresponds fairly accurate to the area in which Telugu language and culture are dominant. The state is divided into three well-defined regions: the Delta, Rayalaseema, and Telangana.
For administrative purposes, the Delta and Rayalaseema are treated as one. The Delta, well irrigated and fertile, is the most prosperous and wealthy of three regions.
Rayalaseema is a dry, infertile area, subject to frequent droughts and famine. The nine districts, which comprise Telangana, are relatively backward economically.

For 200 years, Telangana was separate from the rest of the Telugu country, maintained in a rather backward feudal condition by the Nizams of the Asaf Jahi dynasty. The jagirdar system of landholding seems to have stood in the way of agriculture development.
The book's first chapter comprises sections covering broad issues related to understanding of regional inequalities in general history of discrimination towards Telangana in particular, and the ongoing movement vis-a-vis the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.
