komaram bheem-adilabad freedom fighter

Komaram Bheem (22 October 1901 – 8 October 1940) was a tribal leader who fought against the Asaf Jahi Dynasty for the liberation of Hyderabad. http://telanganahistory917.blogspot.in/home/menu/komara beemKomaram Bheem openly fought against the ruling Nizam government in a guerrilla campaign. He defied courts, laws, and any other form of Nizam authority, living off the sustenance of the forest. He took up arms against Nizam Nawab's soldiers, and fought Babi Jhari until his last breath. His life history was written originally by the comrade leader of Telangana Rebellion, Puchalapalli Sundariah.

Life

He gave the slogan of Jal, Jungle, Jameen ( It means Water, Forest, Land). It means the people who live in forests should have rights on all the resources of the forest.

Komaram bheem was born in a family of Gonda Tribals in the forests of Adilabad. He did not get any formal education.

Talukdar Abdul Sattar failed to bring Bheem to kow-tow his line. Abdul Sattar, well equipped with ninety policemen armed with guns, attacked Bheem, who did not have any armour to protect himself. On that fateful full moon night, hundreds of followers of Bheem armed themselves with bows, arrows, swords and spears. The fearless Gonds launched a frontal assault, from just a dozen feet away from the Nizam's police force, braved their guns, only to be riddled with bullets. That night, the martyr Komaram Bheem became deity and eternal hero to the tribal community. Komaram Bheem is Trible leader who fought against the erstwhile Asaf Jahi Dynasty for the liberation of Hyderabad State at the Beginning of the 20 th century.

Legacy

Komaram Bheem is a bright flame that lit the fire of liberation amongst the people. On December 17, 2009, it was announced that a statue of Bheem would be installed in Hyderabad.
