The Ramaseshiah and Komaram Bheem resistance movements fought against feudal oppression, forest regulations, and exploitation by landlords in the Adilabad and surrounding tribal tracts. 2. The historic Telangana Peasant Armed Struggle (1946-1951) erupted against the oppressive Jagirdari and Deshmukh systems under the Nizam's rule, demanding land redistribution and the abolition of forced labor known as Vetti. 3. The uprisings were exclusively urban phenomena directed by industrial labor unions without any agrarian participation. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Telangana Peasant Armed Struggle was fundamentally an agrarian revolution led by exploited peasantry and tribals against feudal landlords, deshmukhs, and the Nizam's autocratic administration, making statement three incorrect. Komaram Bheem led tribal resistance under the slogan Jal, Jangal, Zameen in the forests of Adilabad. The uprising successfully dismantled the Vetti system and redistributed land across liberated villages before the police action of 1948. This struggle remains a landmark event in the modern history of the region.
