The correct answer is: a) The feudal Nizam’s rule and exploitative landlords.
The Telangana Armed Struggle was a major peasant rebellion that took place in the Indian state of Telangana from 1946 to 1951. The rebellion was led by the Communist Party of India (CPI) and was aimed at overthrowing the feudal Nizam’s rule and exploitative landlords. The rebellion was successful in achieving many of its goals, including the redistribution of land and the improvement of the lives of the peasants.
The Nizam was the hereditary ruler of Hyderabad State, which included the Telangana region. He was a feudal ruler who maintained autocratic control over his subjects. The landlords in Telangana were also feudal lords who exploited the peasants. They forced the peasants to work on their land for little or no pay. The peasants were also subject to many other forms of oppression, such as forced labor, debt bondage, and sexual abuse.
The CPI was the only political party that was willing to fight for the rights of the peasants. The party organized the peasants and led them in a rebellion against the Nizam and the landlords. The rebellion was successful in overthrowing the Nizam and in achieving many of its goals. The peasants were able to redistribute land, improve their living conditions, and gain a greater degree of political freedom.
The Telangana Armed Struggle was a major turning point in the history of India. It showed that the peasants could fight for their rights and achieve victory. The struggle also helped to inspire other peasant rebellions in India.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the goals of the Telangana Armed Struggle. British colonial policies were not a major target of the rebellion. Religious persecution of minorities was also not a major focus of the rebellion. Economic inequalities between regions were not a major concern of the rebels.
