One of the most important factors that led to the establishment of Hyderabad State was the Telangana Armed Struggle, which was a peasant rebellion against the feudal rule of the Nizam. In this research, the causes, course, and repercussions of the fight are investigated. Particular attention is paid to the impact that the conflict had on land reforms, social justice, and the eventual convergence of Hyderabad with India. The purpose of this research is to provide insights into the complex dynamics that led to the formation of Hyderabad State by analyzing the roles that key stakeholders, such as the Communist Party of India and local leaders, played in the process. It was the oppressive reign of the Nizam, feudal exploitation, and poverty that led to the formation of this movement. The primary strategies that have been employed throughout the conflict are guerrilla warfare, armed resistance, and the mobilization of peasants. The results of this campaign led to the implementation of land reforms, the promotion of social justice, and the final consolidation of the Nizam or Hyderabad state with India. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the Telangana Armed Struggle's significance in Indian history, highlighting its role in shaping the country's social, political, and economic landscape.
