The Andhra movement or Andhrodyamam was a campaign for recognition of Telugu-speaking part of the Madras Presidency as a separate political unit in British India. The Andhra movement leaders alleged that the Telugu people were being suppressed by the Tamils, who dominated politics and government jobs. A similar movement was started by the Telangana people living in the Hyderabad State under Nizam's rule.[1]
Background
Andhradyam was a movement that demanded the establishment of a Telugu state on the basis of language, saying that injustices were being done to the Telugu people politically, jobs and culturally in the joint Madras state. 20. This movement started in 1911 and by 1953, it resulted in the formation of Andhra State and then United Andhra Pradesh. Many locals who applied for the job of a Tamil Judge Daphedaru in Gunturu brought in a Sati Tamil from Kumbakonam who was not qualified. Although many Telugu leaders were aware of the linguistic discrimination against the Tamils and thus the oppression they were experiencing in the employment sector, the Andhra movement started as a result of this incident. In 1912, the Andhra Mahasabha began and demanded that Andhra be separated from Madras and made into a separate state.
Early stages
In 1913, the first Andhra Mahasabha was organized in Bapatala. In the first phase, discussions were held regarding the goals of the Andhra Movement. They came together and announced that their goal was to establish a separate province for the Andhras by the end of the 1910s.
When the Indian National Congress first formed the Pradesh Congresses, it took a decision in favor of forming provinces on the basis of language and formed their Pradesh Congress Committees accordingly.
