When East India Company directors in the 1840s approved construction of the Kistna–Godavari irrigation scheme in south-east India, they could scarcely have imagined the huge social, economic and political changes it would bring to coastal Andhra. The politics of water and land as it emerged in the following decades involved transforming the area's outlook on local aspirations, regional connections, opportunities created because of prosperity and attitude towards the prevailing political condition. These changes would shape the trajectory of Andhra's evolution up to and beyond independence in 1947, and still have resonance and influence in the contemporary state
