• The _________ Rebellion was a peasant revolt which was later supported
  by the Communists that took place in the former princely state of
  Hyderabad between 1946 and 1951,led by the Communist Party of India.
  The revolt began in the Nalgonda district and quickly spread to the
  Warangal and Bidar districts. Peasant farmers and labourers revolted
  against the local feudal landlords (jagirdars and deshmukhs) and later
  against the Osman Ali Khan, Asif Jah VII.

• The initial aims were to do away with illegal and excessive exploitation
  meted out by these feudal lords in the name of bonded labour (Vetti
  Chakiri). The most strident demand was for all debts of the peasants to be
  written off.

• The violent phase of the movement ended after the central government
  sent in the army. In 1951, the CPI shifted to a more moderate strategy of
  seeking to bring communism to India within the constraints of Indian
  democracy.
