It traces Telangana’s history from the establishment of the Asaf Jahi reign in the eighteenth century till the formation of the state of Telangana in June 2014 and deals primarily with the socio-economic and political developments that took place in the region during this period.

It also explores the unique political and administrative structures of the Nizam's era and the changes brought about through British influence during the colonial period ER -
