Have you heard of a USSR type communist rule in Andhra pradesh?
During 1946-1951 peasants from telengana region agitated against Nizam and formed a government. The main motto was to write off all the debt.
So a revolt bursted, around 3000 villages (41000 sq.kilometeres) came under pesants control.They successfully ruled for few years.
Landlords are either killed or driven out and the lands were redistributed. This revolt is backed by communists.
These farmers even fought against indian military and succeeded in it through guerilla attacks.
There was a USSR style government prevailed.
The violent phase of the movement came to an end in 1951 after the accession of hyderabad into the Indian union in 1949.

The power of pain.
The story of calcutta ........
During 1713-1719.. after the death of emperor Aurangazeb, there was a puppet emperor called "Farrukhsiyar".
On august 1715, he got swelling in his groin and Dr.William Hamilton (from british East India company) treated him. In october of the same year, emperor again got some violent pain in groin and again Dr.William Hamilton treated him successfully.
Doctor was rewarded with many personal gifts like elephants, horses etc.
But most important gift was the permission to East India company to purchase 38 villages around calcutta.This grant was instrumental in the setting up of business and colonisation of Bengal, later to be followed by the rest of India, by British East India Company.

Inspiring one from Bharatiyaar
தேடிச் சோறு நிதம் தின்று
பல சின்னஞ்சிறு கதைகள் பேசி
மனம் வாடித் துன்பமிக வுழன்று
பிறர் வாட பல செயல்கள் செய்து
நரை கூடிக் கிழப்பருவமெய்தி
கொடுங்கூற்றுக் கிரையெனப் பின் மாயும்
பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே
நான் வீழ்வேன் என்று நினைத்தாயோ !

பல வேடிக்கை மனிதரைப் போலே
நான் வீழ்வேன் என்று நினைத்தாயோ !
