Abount Telangana From Senior Citizens Of Telangana


Recommended Posts

Posted

Recently we heard from an visiting 87 yr old senior citizen narrating us as to what had happened during the Nizam’s rule. Urdu was so strictly imposed on all telangana districts, much more beyond the city where only telugus were living, that they forgot to read and write telugu those days. The urdu teachers used to beat up those students who were not good in the language. This was independently confirmed by another senior citizen who visited us recently (we get a lot of senor citizen visitors here in USA, we ask and gather that treasure of information directly from the source). Draconian tax laws were imposed and enacted squeezing every morsel of grain away from the poor farmers, they were starving while Nizam’s extended family and higher level administrators used to go abroad during summer months, and continued building palacious mahals in the city. It is strange why there wasn’t any revolution against the Nawab for such a long time. I guess most people were busy fighting the bigger enemy, the British.
