TELANGANA WOMEN FREEDOM FIGHTERS - 1

Hyderabad State (or) Nizam State was The Biggest Samsthan in India out of 600 Samsthans. In the 18th Century it was under the Moghal Empire, when Moghal Empire became weaken Nizam-Ul-Mulk has announced Hyderabad State in 1724. He is Founder and First Nizam of the Hyderabad. Hyderabad State was biggest state in India with 8 Telangana Districts (Adilabad, Warangal, Karimnagar, Medak, Mahabubnagar, Nizamabad, Nalgonda and Atraafbalda (latter changed as Ranga Reddy District)), 5 Maharashtra districts (Ourangabad, Parbhani, Bheed, Osmanabad, Nanded), 3 Karnataka Districts (Rayachur, Beedar, Gulbarga). Nizams ruled this state from 1724 to September 1948. British Govt. given freedom to India but wantedly they gave freedom for Hyderabad and Kashmir to decide whether Join with India (or) Pakistan. Kashmir ruler Maharaja Hari Singh joined their state in India. But Nizam announced Hyderabad is seperate Country, we not to join in India nor in Pakisthan (becuase joining in Pakisthan is not possible with geographically). The Hyderabad State People  eagerly waited freedom from Nizam and they thought we are going became freedom after India Freedom. The Telangana People suffered many problems, struggled very much with Nizam Rule.They already started Telangana Raithanga Poratam (Farmer Revolution). The India Govt. given warn to Nizam but they did not take any action. Nizam order to not celebrate India Indepance Day because Hyderabad is seperate Country, and he is Freedom King. And ordered India Currency not accepted in Hyderabad State and also announced 20 Crore rupees to  Pakisthan. But in some placec Indian flag hoisted, The First Indian Flag hoisted near King Kothi by Hyderabad Student Union and by City Trade Union Office also hoisted Indian Flag. In many places many people arrested for Indian Flag hoising.

Nizam close adviser Khasim Razvi created Razakar Force with 90,000 Razakars (soonly increased upto 5 lakh). Khasim Razvi main aim was making Hyderabad as a Muslim Country.. They entered in the villages and killed lot of innocent people including females, kids and babies. They looted people and raped ladies before their family people (including girls), they removed women and mens clothes and forced to play batukamma and do many things. They behaved with people like Rakshas (Raakshas are better than the Razakars, because they not did those cruel works that Razakars did, we can't say and see in dreams also that they did).

Telangana People started their fight against Nizam Rule from hundreds of years - the Nizam Rule was worst and bad Rule in the history of India. (I think British Rule was better than Nizam Rule). The Telangana Raithanga Poratam changed as Telangana Saayudha Poratam. Every village created youth forces to fight with Razakars. Not only men, womens also trained using the Arms. Many women fighted like Rani Rudrama, Jhansi Rani. There are many Women Freedom Fighters stories to say. Writing here about some of them. Latter Telangana Freedom Fighters recognised as Indian Freedom Fighters.  India Govt. taken Police Action (Sardar Vallabhai Patel Leadership) on Nizam and Razakars. The operation called as "Operation Polo, it held from 13th September 1948 to 17th September 1948. on 17th September 1948 Nizam surrender to India Military. Telangana got Freedom and merged in Indian Union. Razakar Leader Khasim Razvi sent to jail for killing thousands of innocent people but later he relieved and went Pakistan and settled there. The Nizam got lot of money for surrender himself. The Nizam and their family settled in other countries.)

KOMARAM BHEEM

KOMARAM BHEEM THE VALIANT MARTYR FROM TELANGANA 

The present Telangana province in Andhra Pradesh earlier was part of Nizams diminions called Hyderabad state. It was ruled by the Nawabs of Asifjahi dynasty. The princely state was absorbed into Indian union after Police action in 1948. The last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan did not merge his state in to Indian union after India was granted independence and preferred to remain independent. He let loose a reign of terror on Hindu population in his dominion to Islamise the state and raiseda fundamentalist militia called Razakars under Kasim Razvi who was also the head of Majlis ittehad ul Mulsimeen ( MIM). Razakars committed untold atrocities on Hindu population of the state and it was ignored by the Nizam. Inspite of repeated warnings from Indian government there was no improvement and at last Indian army marched in Sept 1948 from different directions into Hyderbad state and Nizams military power collapsed like a pack of cards. Many razakars were killed. The criminals were arrested and Nizams government was abolished and the state was merged into Indian union. Kasim Razvi who deserved hanging was given a 10 year prison term after a trial. Hyderabad became one of the union states.Razakar force was disbanded apart from Hyderabad army.

Hyderabad princely state had two distinct regions called Marathwada and Telangana. Telangana areas were Telugu speaking areas comprising districts of Adilabad, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Medak, Nalgonda, Khammammet ( Now called Khammam), Mahboob nagar, Warnagal and Atraf balda ( Around Hyderabad city). Marathwada region consisted of districts, Gulbarga, Raichur, Bidar, Aurangabad, Osmanabad, Beed, Parbhani and Nanded. In 1956 the states were reorganized and Telangana was merged with Andhra state and Andhra Pradesh was formed. The demand for a separate Telangana state has been going on from 1956 and it erupted with great force in 1969 and again recently. Many precious lives have been lost in the agitation in police firings and , suicides. The people of Telanagana are clamoring for self rule free from the alleged domination of Andhra leaders. The struggle is going on and probably the area will be never calm till Telangana is materialized. 

People of Telangana earlier suffered under Nizams rule. Asafjahi dynasty comprising of 7 Nizams ruled Hyderabad state. The first Nizam was Qamruddin Chin khilij khan Asaf Jah and he was a Deccan Subedar of Mughal emperor Mohammed Shah (Rangeela ) and literally was an independent ruler. The sixth Nizam was Mir Mahboob Ali Khan generally known as a benevolent ruler. However, under the rule of Nizam 7 Mir Osman ali Khan, Hindu population suffered greatly. Taxes were severe and exploitation of masses was very high. There were systematic methods to eradicate Hindu names in Telangana and many districts were renamed giving them Islamic identity. Indur was named Nizamabad while Palamoor was named as Mahboob nagar. Metuku was transformed into Medak. Elagandla which was the district capital was abandoned and was shifted to Karimnagar a close by place. Bhuvanagiri a hill fort which is about 40 km from Hyderabad was renamed as Bhongir. Manukota was renamed as Mahboobabad. All village names ending with Padu were changed to Pahad. Hyderabad state was also declared as Islamic state. Hindu shrines were too allegedly destroyed and new mosques were built. Women were exploited and dishonored. Thus situation was grave. 

Adilabad district is located at the northern end of the state bordering Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. These are hill bound areas with deep and thick jungles. In the earlier times, the area were under the rule of Gond kings of Chanda ( Chadrapur) and Ballalpur. Tribal population like Gonds constitute a great strength. The district is backward in most of the aspects.Agriculture is poor. During Nizam’s times, situation was worst and the villagers suffered greatly. Taxes imposed by the Nizam were un bearable. The local Zamindars of Nizam suppressed the tribals ruthlessly and exploited them. Komaram Bheem was born in Asifabad region of Adilabad district in a Gond family and was brought up in tribal areas and had no contact with outside world and education. When he grew, he realized the hardships of his people and observed the atrocities on tribals by Nizams officials and police. He decided to resist the repression. He was much inspired by the sacrifices of Shaheed Bhagat Singh and Alluri Seetha rama Raju in Tribal areas of Andhra region. He decided to wage battle against the oppressive Nizam’s rule. He organized Gonds for the rebellion and waged gurellia war against Nizams police. He had no resources and used primitive weapons such as muzzle loaders, spears, lances , bows and arrows and swords. Local Talukdar Abdul Sattar could not control the situation and decided to attack Bheem with large police force. With ninety well armed police men he attacked the hiding place of Bheem on October 27, 1940 and the rebels under the leadership of Bheem retaliated with full force. There was a vigorous fight and in the operation Komaram Bheem became a martyr and sacrificed his life for liberation of the people from an oppressive regime. The Nizam too lost his power in 1948 after police action and people of the state were freed from the cruel Asifjahi rule. 

Komaram Bheem has become a deity to Gond people and has become an Icon for liberation movement in Telangana. His name literally disappeared into history and most of the people in the state were not aware of him and his sacrifice. His death anniversary was being celebrated in the Adilabad district at Jodeghat ( Krameri Mandal) near his native place by the Naxalite militants and it is alleged that the govt has down played the activity. With rising passions in Telangana region, Komaram Bheem’s memory has been rekindled and recently a his statue has been erected on the tank bund in Hyderabad. During NT Rama Rao’s regime scores of statues of distinguished leaders and achievers in various fields were erected on Tank bund. However during the last years million march episode of Telangana agitation, statues of many Andhra stalwarts were destroyed, disfigured and thrown down into Hussein sagar lake . It was the result of rising passions and to assuage the feelings of locals. Movies on the life of the hero have also been produced in Telugu and released. A statue of martyr Komaram Bheem has been installed at Tank bund. Long live his memory

PROFESSOR JAYASHANKAR:-

::Telangana ideologue Prof K. Jayashankar::

Telangana ideologue Prof K. Jayashankar, a former vice-chancellor, passed away on Tuesday morning at his residence in Hanamkonda after battling liver cancer for over a year.

He was 76. Throughout the day, hundreds of people visited VSM Nilayam at Advocates’ Colony in Hanamkonda, where Prof. Jayashankar was residing at Flat 401, and Ekashila Park where the body was kept in state for mourners to pay their respects. He had been diagonised with cancer on June 27 last year at Hyderabad’s Institute of Gastroentero-logy and was undergoing chemotherapy. A bachelor, he had adopted a boy.
A Ph.D in economics from Osmania, the professor was vice-chancellor of KU from 1991-94 and registrar of Central Institute of English and Foreign Languages from 1982-91. The solemn occasion turned ugly when senior Congress and TD leaders, who had come to pay their respects, were attacked and chased away by activists of TRS and the Kakatiya University Joint Action Committee.
Wish for T remains unfulfilled

Telangana ideologue Prof Kothapalli Jayashankar, who passed away on Tuesday, had one last wish: A separate Telangana state.

“I want to see a separate Telangana when I am there. That’s my only wish and desire,” said the professor, who battled liver cancer for almost a year. A familiar face at any major Telangana meeting, particularly those organised by the TRS, the soft-spoken professor had been a Telangana proponent right from his student days.

He walked out of his Intermediate class to protest the state reorganisation in 1952. In 1962, and in 1968, he was part of a campaigns which rocked the region.

He backed all those who fought for separate Telangana since its merger with Andhra, right from Marri Channa Reddy and P. Indra Reddy to Mr K. Chandrasekhar Rao of the TRS to whom he was the guiding spirit since 2000. “He was a fatherly figure and the guiding spirit of Telangana movement,” Mr Rao used to often say, and would touch his feet in reverence, at times in full view of the public.

Prof. Jayashankar often said that unequal distribution of river water was the root cause of separate Telangana movement.

“The reason for the resistance of people of Telangana to join Visalandhra is the fear of exploitation in the enlarged state and the reason for their reluctance to continue in the present state is the actual experience of being exploited,” he once wrote. He pointed that many states, including West Bengal and Kerala, were smaller than Telangana and were doing well.

He has a large body of work on various aspects of the Telangana problem, economic development and educational economics and administration.

జాతి రత్నాలు అంటున్నావ్, ఎవడి జాతి.. బొమ్మలు తగలబడితేనే నీకు చరిత్ర, సంస్కృతీ గురుతోచ్చిందా.. అసలు నీకు 'ఆత్మ' ' గౌరవం' అంటే అర్థాలు తెలుసా.. కూలిన నీ చరిత్ర కారులని అడిగి తెలుసుకో బ్రదర్ తెలుగు జాతి తగల బడింది అని కుల్లుతున్నావ్ తెలంగాణా జాతి మాటేప్పుడైనా వినపడిందా

వారు గొప్ప వారు కావొచ్చు.. కాని నా తల్లి గుండె మీద నిప్పులై మండుతున్నారు ఎపుడైనా నీ ఎసి కార్లల్ల తిరుగుతుంటే కనపడిందా మా గోస

హుస్సేన్ సాగర్ నిండా నా తల్లి కంటి నీరే కదా.. భాషని, యాసని హేళన చేసి చూసే నీకు ఎక్కడిదిరా హక్కు జాతి గురించి ఊసెత్తడానికి

అందమైన హైదరాబాద్ ను తయారు చేసిన నా రాజుల చరిత్ర ఏది? ప్రపంచ పటంల నా జాతి ని నిలబెట్టిన నా నిజాం పరిమళాలు కలుషితం చేసి మా కొమరం భీమ్ ధైర్యానికి , వీర చరిత్రకు మసి పూసి, అయిలవ్వను , యాదగిరిని , బందగిని బొందపెట్టి ఏ చరిత్ర గురించి మాట్లాడుతున్నావ్..

రాయి బద్దలయితే రాద్ధాంతం చేస్తున్నావ్, బొమ్మ పగిలితే గుండె పగిలినట్టు గంటలూ గంటలూ రొద పెడుతున్నావ్ నువ్వు నిలబడ్డ జాగా నాది, నా జాగా చరిత్ర ఏది? సంస్కృతీ ఏది?

నా బిడ్డలు ఏరి.. ఓ గురజాడా, ఎర్ర ప్రగడ, ఇంకా ప్రజా కవులారా.. మీరు చేసిన తప్పంతా.. రక్త మాంసాలు తినే నర రూప రాక్షసుల చేతుల్లో పడడమే, మిమ్మల్ని అడ్డం పెట్టుకొని మా జాతి ని మట్టు బెట్టి, మా చరిత్ర సమాధుల మీద మిమ్మల్ని నిలబెట్టడమే

మేము గురి పెట్టింది మిమ్మల్ని కాక పోవచ్చు, మీరు చేసిన కృషిని కాకపోవచ్చు.. మా ఆక్రోశం బద్దలు అయింది భాల్ల్లున పగిలింది మీ బొమ్మల పైన.. మీ జాగా ఖాళి అయితేనే కదా మా చరిత్రలు నిలబడేది

ఒకటి అంతం అయితేనే మరొకటి మొదలు.. మా జాతి కోసం ప్రాణాలు అర్పించిన అమర వీరుల సమాధులకు కూడ జాగా లేదు, వారికి చోటియ్యనియండి, బొమ్మలకి బాద పడే మీరు.. బిడ్డలు కళ్ళముందు కాలుతుంటే ఒక్క కన్నీటి బొట్టు కూడ రాల్చ లేదే? కవితలు రాల లేదే, పుస్తకాలు అచ్చు కాలేదే ?

మీ మాటలు కత్తుల్ల దిగుతుంటే ముక్కలైన మా మట్టిని , బూడిదైన మా సంస్కృతిని మళ్లీ నిలబెట్టుకున్దామనే చరిత్రని మల్లా తిరగ రాస్తున్నాం,

ఇక్కడ మీకు , మీ గొప్ప చరిత్రలకు స్తానం లేదు..అందమైన విగ్రహాలకు విడిది కాదు నా ఇల్లు, ఆగమైతున్న బతుకు చిత్రాలకు కొలువు..

భుతల్లి కన్నీట మునుగుతున్నాం గర్భ శోకంతో కుంగి పోతున్నాం.. మోసాలకు ఎత్తులకు జిత్తులకు విసిగి వేసారి ఉన్నాం.. కొలిమిల్లాగా మండుతున్నాం.. దగ్గర కొస్తే ఆగం అయితారు..

మాట్లాడే సహనం లేదు, బ్రతిమిలాడే క్వాయిష్ అంత కన్న లేదు మిగిలినవి చేతలు , చేతులే .. ఆవేశం అంటుకున్నది ఆవేదన అలుముకున్టున్నది.. మంచి చెడుల మధ్య చెరిగిన రేఖ.. న్యాయ అన్యాయాల మధ్య నలిగిన సత్యం..

ఇప్పటికైనా ... నా భూమ్మీద నా బిడ్డలకే హక్కు.. మేమూ ప్రజా కవులను ప్రేమిస్తాం.. మీ చరిత్రనూ నిలబెడతాం.. మా చేతుల మీదుగా మేము ప్రశాంతంగా స్వేచ్చగా గాలి పిలచిన రోజు..
