Abstract

From 1724 to 1948, Hyderabad State including Hyderabad-Karnataka region was ruled by the Nizam and there were frequent attacks to common people by Razakars in the area ruled by the Nizam. During this phase, many of the freedom fighters were fought against the Nizam's police and the Razakars. Arya Samaj united such freedom fighters in Hyderabad state. Ramachandra Veerappa was one of such freedom fighter, though born in an untouchable caste, he faced all the humiliations due to his caste during his childhood. He was fought against Razakars and the Nizam rule to liberate the Hyderabad-Karnataka region. The paper described role of Ramachandra Veerappa in liberation of Hyderabad-Karnataka.
