March 10 would ring bells and take back people to memories of Million March held on the Tank Bund in Hyderabad in 2011, demanding carving out of separate Telangana from united Andhra Pradesh.
It is a decade since that violent protest was staged by pro-Telangana activists and political parties and their only demand was separate state that would stand as a mark of their self-respect.
Yielding to the pressure and protests by pro-Telangana groups, the separate state was carved out three years later when the Congress-led UPA government was in power and AICC president Sonia Gandhi was at the helm of affairs.
