Andhra Mahasabha was a people's organisation in the erstwhile Hyderabad state of India. Started as a subsidiary of the Indian National Congress, it had later moved away from it permanently to join hands with the Communist Party of India. == History == There was an increase in political and cultural awareness among people of Hyderabad State at the end of 19 th century. As the culture and language of the overwhelming majority of the people living in Hyderabad state was sought to be suppressed by the rulers the natural desire for education and cultural development, for protection and development of their mother tongue got inevitably linked up with the struggle against the Nizam's rule. A triggering incident that led to the kindling of Telugu people's self-respect in Hyderabad state occurred on 12 November 1921,in the Nizam state social conference when a Telugu lawyer Mr. Allampalli Venkata Rama Rao spoke in Telugu on a resolution,he was shouted by the audience who earlier spoke freely in English, Urdu and Marathi.This portrayed the true position of Telugu language in the Nizam state . That very night "Andhra Jana Sangham" was started with the main intention of promoting Telugu language, literature, its books and historical research, with 11 members, in the forefront led by Suravaram Pratapareddy, Madapati Hanumantha Rao, Komarraju Venkata Lakshmana Rao and others. Within 2 years 50 branches of it were established throughout the Telangana region. By 1923 Sri.Madapati Hanumantha Rao played a vital role in the central organisation of all the branches into " Nizam Rashtra Andhra Jana Kendra Sangham". Regular conferences were held during 1923,1924,1925 and 1928 respectively. In the 1930 conference the Andhra Jana Sangham had converted its name into Andhra Mahasabha. The Andhra Mahasabha, formed in 1930, pushed for the social and cultural development of the people of Telangana. Its first conference was held in 1930 at Jogipet in Medak district under the presidency of Suravaram Pratap Reddy. A women's conference called Andhra Mahila Sabha was also held simultaneously with the Andhra Maha Sabha under the presidency of Nadimpalli Sundaramma. Burgula Ramakrishna Rao presided over the second conference held at Devarakonda in 1931. The Nizam Government developed a hostile attitude towards the Mahasabha and imposed several restrictions on it. Therefore Mahasabha could not get permission for three years until it held its third conference, at Khammam, in 1934, under the presidency of Pulijala Venkata Ranga Rao. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andhra Mahasabha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
