Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, to some extent Telangana Armed struggle helped to end the rule of the Nizam. They undertook such activities which attracted the attention of the Indian independent government to take action and control the situation.

● Due to killing of the Doddi Komaraiah by the zamindar in July 1946, Telangana armed struggle became active.

● They set up sanghams in every village and sang the songs of the Doddi Komaraiah. They established their rule through village panchayat. They also established parallel government and ‘people’s court’ where vetti was abolished, rents were reduced, worker’s wages were increased, eviction of tenants was stopped and excess lands of the landlords were redistributed to the landless population.

● Later, they became violent and burnt the records and took the grains which were kept away by the merchants and landlords.

Due to the active participation of the Telangana armed struggle, Ittehadul Muslimee (organisation started to protect the Nizam’s rule and Muslim population) and Razakars (volunteers set up by the Ittehadul Muslimee) resort to the violent means to not allow the integration of the Hyderabad state with the independent India. The situation became so uncontrollable that Indian government intervened and also later Hyderabad was integrated into Indian state.
