Adoni - The Town Of History

-

History

Adoni has undergone a number of substantial changes over the past few centuries. Emerging as a military base for the Vijayanagara Empire in the 15th century, the city has evolved to become a modern, manufacturing hub. Located in southeast India, roughly 200 kilometers from Hyderabad. Under the Vijayanagara, the city stood at the center of the consolidating of a shifting, fragmented countryside into a more disciplined, structure empire. Even after the Empire fell in the 16th century, as a product of military conflicts, the city remained a core part of Southern Indian history.

In the wake of the shift, the Yadava caste became the dominant cultural force in the city. with strong Vaishnavism Hindi influence. As a result, the city became known as Yadavagiri for centuries, until cultural changes led the population to adopt Islam in the following centuries. The city largely lacked organized self-rule until the mid 19th century, when the city organized a Municipal Council to give it a formal governing structure.

Under the influence of British colonialism in the 20th century, Southern Indian was divided into several administrative districts; Adoni fell into the district of Bellary. The city gained its present seat as part of the state of Andra Pradesh in 1953, when the British further divided the country by language of origin. While the city constantly shifted its governmental structure, it emerged as a trade hub as a product of its impressive bounties of grain and gold, along with cloth and textile production. Over the century, the city built up an entire industry of cotton mills, solidifying its place in the county’s modern trade economy.

Sri Ranamandala Aanjaneya Swamy

Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple at Ranamandal Hills. Every year in the 'sravana masam', Ranamandal Hills seems to be a small town with the thousands of people going to worship Lord Anjaneya. Many RTC buses are made to move in this route for the convinience of the people throughout the 'sravana masam'. One may not have visited tirumala for Sri Venkateshwara Swamy Darshan, but one would have surely visited Ranamandal for Sri Anjaneya Swamy Darshan from Adoni. Going in the Bus from the Town to the Hill is a Great pleasure and wonderful experience mainly for the one who had not gone in the Bus for Tirumala.

Celebrating the 60 years of Independence (updated on august 15)

Nehru Peace Park, Adoni

Indian independence movement

The Indian independence struggle incorporated the efforts by Indians to liberate the region from British rule and form the nation-state of India. It involved a wide spectrum of Indian political organizations, philosophies, and rebellions between 1857 and India's emergence as a unified nation-state on August 15,1947.

The initial Indian Rebellion of 1857 was sparked when soldiers serving in the British East India Company's British Army mutinied and Indian kingdoms rebelled against the British. After the revolt was crushed, the British partitioned the region into British India and the Princely States. They tried to develop a class of educated elites, whose political organizing sought Indian political rights and representation. However, increasing public disenchantment with the British authority — their curtailing of Indian civil liberties (such as the Rowlatt Act), political rights, and culture as well as their avoidance of basic issues facing common Indians and an essential nonacceptance of foreign occupation — led to an upsurge in Revolutionary movement for Indian independence aimed at overthrowing the European colonial powers, particularly the British.

The Role of Mahatma Ghandhi in the Movement of Independence

Gandhi had been a prominent leader of the anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa, and had been a vocal opponent of basic discrimination and abusive labour treatment as well as suppressive police control such as the Rowlatt Acts. During these protests, Gandhi had perfected the concept of satyagraha, which had been inspired by the philosophy of Baba Ram Singh (famous for leading the Kuka Movement in the Punjab in 1872). The end of the protests in South Africa saw oppressive legislation repealed and the release of political prisoners by General Jan Smuts, head of the South African Government of the time.

Gandhi, a stranger to India and its politics after twenty years, had initially entered the fray not with calls for a nation-state, but in support of the unified commerce-oriented territory that the Congress Party had been asking for. Gandhi believed that the industrial development and educational development that the Europeans had brought with them were required to alleviate many of India's problems.

Gandhi’s vision would soon bring millions of regular Indians into the movement, transforming it from an elite struggle to a national. The nationalist cause was expanded to include the interests and industries that formed the economy of common Indians. For example, In Champaran, Bihar, the Congress Party championed the plight of desperately poor sharecroppers, landless farmers who were being forced to pay oppressive taxes and grow cash crops at the expense of the subsistence crops which formed their food supply. The profits from the crops they grew were insufficient to provide for their sustenance.

In 1920, the Congress was reorganized and given a new constitution, whose goal was Swaraj (independence) ^{[citation needed]}. Membership in the party was opened to anyone prepared to pay a token fee, and a hierarchy of committees was established and made responsible for discipline and control over a hitherto amorphous and diffuse movement. The party was transformed from an elite organization to one of mass national appeal and participation.

Great leaders such as Nehru, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Radha Krishna Ghokle, Subhash Chandra Bose, Chandra Sekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and many more fought for the Indian Independence and they achieved it on August 15th, 1947 at mid night.

Now its the time to Struggle for The 'True Independence' by an Indian

Let's promise to Struggle for the true Independence of India.... Our dream Country is India with true Independence.

Politiancs are not true leaders... True leaders are to B politicians.. for the True Independence of India
