Mypathi Arun Kumar in his book narrates, “Bheem grew up listening to stories of exploitation of Gond and Kolam Adivasis by ''Janglaat'' Police, businessmen, and zamindars. In order to survive, Bheem kept moving from one place to other trying to protect himself from exploitation of businessmen and extortion of officials. Crops produced after ], were taken away by Nizam officials, ''Janglaats'' arguing that the land was theirs. They’d cut fingers of Adivasi children, accusing them of illegally cutting down trees. Tax were collected forcefully, otherwise false cases were registered. After being left with nothing in hand from farming, people had started moving out of their villages. In such situation, his father was killed by forest officials for asserting Adivasis’ rights. Bheem was agitated by murder of his father and after father's death, his family moved from Sankepalli to Sardapur.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.adivasiresurgence.com/komaram-bheem-a-forgotten-adivasi-leader-who-gave-the-slogan-jal-jangal-jameen/|title=Komaram Bheem: A forgotten Adivasi leader who gave the slogan ‘Jal Jangal Jameen’|last=Poyam|first=Akash|date=2016-10-16|website=Adivasi Resurgence|language=en-US|access-date=2019-04-19}}</ref>

Komaram Bheem (22 October 1901 – 27 October 1940) was a Telugu Indian tribal leader who fought against the Asaf Jahi Dynasty for the liberation of Hyderabad. Komaram Bheem openly fought against the ruling Nizam government in a guerrilla campaign. He defied courts, laws, and any other form of Nizam authority, living off the sustenance of the forest. He took up arms against Nizam Nawab's soldiers, and fought Babi Jhari until his last breath. His life history was written originally by the comrade leader of Telangana Rebellion, Puchalapalli Sundariah.

Life

Bheem was born into a family of Gond Tribals (Koitur) in the forests of Komaram Bheem district in the state of Telangana, then under rule of Nizam. He was not exposed to the outside world and did not have any formal education. Komaram Bheem was barely 15 years when his father was killed by forest officials for asserting Adivasis’ rights. After the death of his father, Bheem's family migrated to Surdhapur village
