Nizam's love & respect for Seemandhras
by confuzzled dude Fri Aug 09, 2013 2:27 pm
Nizam invited and gave land incentives to Kosta Andhra farmers to relocate to Nizam to leverage their expertise in paddy cultivation. Most of these farmers were from Guntur & Krishna and settled in several villages near Bodhan & Nizam Sagar.

We have many Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur origin farmers in Orissa too. Many migrated when the Hirakud dam across Mahanadi was built in the 50's and many more have migrated to our district and the neighboring district in Madhyapradesh (now Chattisgarh) when the dams across Kolab (Shabari is called by that name in our area) and Indravati were built about 20-25 years ago . If there is facility for canal irrigation they will come either by invitation (Nizam's case) or on their own and really produce gold. There are some villages in the Sambalpur area (known for the famous Sambalpuri saris) where Telugu is spoken with the same Konaseema or Lanka accents, and you can find Venkateswara Vilases, Padmavati Cafes, Sreerama Bhavans, etc selling idlis, pesarats, dosas,upma, etc.confuzzled dude wrote:Nizam invited and gave land incentives to Kosta Andhra farmers to relocate to Nizam to leverage their expertise in paddy cultivation.

Very true. I have heard of Andhras buying up canal irrigated land in many places in Telangana.indophile wrote:We have many Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur origin farmers in Orissa too.

Very interesting anecdote Indo. Thanks for sharing. Never heard of Sambalpur, looks like it's about 5 hours drive from Barampur. Wonder when did Telugus move to Kharagpur, my bengali colleague's brother-in-law is a Kharagpur Telugu.indophile wrote:We have many Godavari, Krishna, and Guntur origin farmers in Orissa too.

Sambalpur is the 2nd or 3rd largest city in Orissa. It's a nice place with a lot of natural beauty because of the Mahanadi river. At one time half the kids who wanted to study engineering in Orissa went to Burla. just on the outskirts of Sambalpur. It's also known for its saris, as famous in the northeastern states as Kanchi, Dharmavaram, Venkatagiri are in the south.
As for Kharagpur, most of the Telugu population there were employees of the old Bengal-Nagpur Railway (BNR). You would find significant Telugu populations all along that triangle --- in the east from Khurda (this is the nearest station to the Puri Jagannath temple) to Calcutta (it was called Kaali-Metta by Telugu folks two-three generations ago), and going west, from Calcutta to Nagpur (Rajgangpur - Bilaspur - Katni - Raipur - Nagpur are some of the towns along that corridor.
The ancestors for these populations were there long before dams and canals. And their Telugu is different from the Telugu spoken by the arrivals from Godavari-Krishna area.
