PRABHA DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Arya Samaj Hyderabad is a virile rational reform movement founded by Maharshi Swami Dayanand Saraswathi in 1875. The very essence of this Samaj is to spread truth and dispel untruth. It believes that return to Vedic code of conduct holds key to all ailments afflicting humanity in general and Hindus in particular. Further, it condemns in unequivocal terms all kinds of ritualistic superstitions like Idol worship, animal sacrifice etc, as well as various forms of social oppression such as the caste system, untouchability and child marriage, suppression of women, post-death ceremonies, pilgrimages etc to cite a few. The main goal is to eradicate ignorance by rationally challenging beliefs and spreading knowledge based on Vedas thus taking the world towards the light of truth and knowledge.
Hyderabad-Karnataka area was ruled by the Nizams of Hyderabad before 1948. During their rule, people were suffered due to the atrocities from the Razakars and the rule of the Nizam. Many of the organizations and leaders were fought against the rule of the Nizam and atrocities of the Razakars. Arya Samaj is one such organization founded by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. Under the leadership of Swami Ramanand Teerth, Arya Samaj opened its branches in Hyderabad-Karnataka region and organized many forms of movements and agitations to liberate the region. Due to the efforts of Arya Samaj and leaders, finally Hyderabad-Karnataka was got liberated in 1948 and merged into the Indian Union. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : JAYSHREE S.
