Divya Delhi: Whoever says Telangana's "non-natives" had never been questioned about their indigeneity should read about the 1952 Mulki Agitation. Four years after Hyderabad, the Nizam-ruled princely realm that included Telangana, joined the Indian Union in 1948, Warrangal schoolchildren complained about “outsiders.” As Madras Presidency Telugus monopolized government posts, they wouldn't keep mute. The demonstrators were Mulkis, but the Telugu speakers from another state may have been more educated and competent. They opposed neocolonizers after being disempowered by princely authority. Idly Sambar! Go Back!" “Non-Mulki! “Go back!” yelled the students. Now, “local” Telangana shopkeepers are slamming the entrepreneurial Marwaris. “Jahaan na pohonche gaadi, wahaan pohonche Marwari (However far-flung or inaccessible a destination, a Marwari will find his way there)” describes the latter's go-getting nature. Many Marwaris in the state joined the Asaf Jahi dominions in the eighteenth century. In the late 1700s, Begum Bazar protected them. Their other strongholds were Nur Khan Bazar and Puraana Kabootar Khana.
