Revival of the Telugu Language in
Nizam's Dominion
Madapati Hanumantha Rao was one of the
pioneers in the revival of the Telugu language under the Nizams's dominions. He
was a founder member of the Andhra Mahasabha. And came to be called the Andhra
Pitamaha.
Public worker
A Telugu-language high school was
started by Rao. When the state government and Osmania University, and Andhra
University refused recognition, he got recognition from the Women's university
at Pune. He was also a member of the Senate and Syndicate of Osmania
University.
He was among the most significant
impulses for the freedom movement of the Nizam's dominions, having contributed
immensely to the cultural and linguistic revival of the Telugu language,
pioneering contribution to the recording of Telugu history and also education
for the telugus in the Nizam's dominions. Under his guidance the Andhra
Mahasabha was very careful to avoid violating the regulations of the
administration. However, the Andhra Mahasabha was feared by the police
commissioner, Armstrong. Who remarked that a library movement is nothing but a
revolutionary movement?
The Andhra Mahasabha held political
meetings outside the limits of the Hyderabad state. The first Hyderabad
political conference was held in Kakinada in 1923[5], due to the initiative
taken by M. Hanumantha Rao. This was on account of Gasti No. 53, which made it impossible
for any political meeting, however peaceful it might be, to be convened in
Hyderabad.
