Telangana Movement was an armed revolt of peasants organised by the Communist Party of India (CPI) against oppressive landlordism patronised by the Nizam of Hyderabad. The sufferings of peasants increased with the onset of the Second World War as they were subjected to increasing number of exploitative taxes and forced to perform ‘Vetti’ (forced labour). Many of the peasants lost their lands to the village moneylenders.
