With an area of 67,526 km2 (42.00% of the state territory), Rayalaseema is larger than Kerala, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and nine other states in India. It has a population of 15,184,908 (2011 census), which is 30.03% of the state population. Rayalaseema borders the state of Tamil Nadu to the south, Karnataka to the west, Telangana to the north and the Coastal Andhra region of Andhra Pradesh to the east. The region contributes 52 assembly segments to Andhra Pradesh state legislature and 8 parliamentary constituencies to the Indian parliament. These Telugu-speaking districts were part of the Madras Presidency until 1953, then they were carved out to form Andhra State.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Indian Express - Google News Archive Search )〕 From 1953 to 1956, the region was part of Andhra State. In 1956, the Telangana region was merged with Andhra State to form Andhra Pradesh State.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Indian Express - Google News Archive Search )〕 However, in 2014 this area was split off again to form a separate State. Earlier, Bellary district was part of Rayalaseema. With the formation of states based on languages, Bellary was joined to Karnataka. The city of Bellary, which has large numbers of both Kannada and Telugu speakers, was included in Mysore after protracted debate and controversy. Rayalaseema was ruled by Sri Krishna Devaraya. Rayalaseema was the original home of the Western Chalukyas, which gradually extended their sway over Karnataka under pressure from the Chola kings. Rayalaseema's contribution to Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Urdu arts, culture and literature is immense. During the British era, the Nizam of Hyderabad ceded this area to the British, and hence was called Ceded Districts'. Independence, it was renamed as ''Rayalaseema'' as 'seema' was an administrative unit of the Vijayanagara Empire similar to today's districts. ==Geography== Rayalaseema comprises Parts of present Andhra Pradesh state # Kadapa district # Kurnool district # Anantapur district # Chittoor district Parts of present Karnataka state # Bellary district # Pavagada taluk in Tumkur district # Harapanahalli taluk # Kolar taluk 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rayalaseema」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
