KOMARAM BHEEM.  TRIBAL LEADER .ADILABAD DISTRICT IN FORMER HYDERABAD STATE OF NIZAM 7.He fought forces of  Nizam 7    against exploitation of tribals from 1928 to 1940. He killed Nizams pattedar siddique  who came with army to collect  taxes. Komaram bheem could not be captured in spite of intense campaign by nizams forces owing to his guerill tactics.

He  also went to Chanda  i.e Chadrapur in former Gond kindom near Nagpur and learnt English, hindi and urdu. He returned and with renewed vigor raised army of Tribals and continued his fight. Sadly, He was killed in an encounter with police  and Nizams army on 27 Oct 1940  at the age of 39 .Recently, a district has been named as Komaram Bheem district  and a statue has also been erected at tank bund in Hyderabad and at other places.
