10.Due to spread of dirt in flood – affected areas, epidemics and infectious diseases spread rapidly. 

11.Floods cause harm to dams, canals and ponds.

Solutions to flood Problem:

1. To dispel the flood problem, strong and high embankments should be built and also a proper drainage system should be developed. 

2. In the flood – affected regions, afforestation should be practiced in the water receiving areas of rives. 

3. The water containing capacity of rivers must be increased before rainy season. 

4. The silt deposited in the bottom of rivers should be cleaned before rainy season, so that water containing capacity of river may be increased. 

5. The routes, roads and railways should be built in this way that the natural flow of water may not be blocked or obstructed. 

6. Human settlements should not be developed in the water containing areas of rivers. 

7. Means of transportation and communication should be developed.

2. North – Easter n Plains: The overflow of River Brahmaputra causes floods in this area.

1. Temperature: when the temperature of place increases, the air gets heated, expands and rises. This leads to a decrease in air pressure in the area. when the temperature falls, the air gets cold,contracts, and contracts, and descends downwards. This leads to an increase in air pressure. Thus, air pressure decreases with an increase in temperature. This is the reason why areas close to the equator generally have low air pressure. 

2. Pressure : Atmospheric pressure is the pressure that the atmopshere exerts on the surface of the earth because of its weight. There is a close relationship between pressure and temperature — high temperature means low pressure and vice versa. Pressure difference causes horizontal movement of air called wind and vertical movement of air called current, which together cause circulation of air in the atmosphere.

Night classes and discussions were held in these centres. People read books by social reformers like Veeresalingam and nationalists like Gandhiji, Nehru etc. They also wrote new books on local problems. As Editor of the Golconda Patrika, Suravaram Pratapareddy inspired nationalistic fervour amongst the people.

When India became independent in 1947, Osman Ali Khan, the Nizam wanted Hyderabad to remain as an independent kingdom. The common people of the state wanted to join Independent India and a large campaign was organized by the Hyderabad State Congress led by Ramananda Theertha. The Razakars attacked them too. Then the Indian government decided to end this anarchy and sent armed forces to Hyderabad. Hyderabad was finally integrated into Indian Union in September 1948. The Nizam however was asked by the government of India to continue as the ruler till the transition to democratic setup was complete. The Nizam was forced to abolish the feudal system and initiate democratic processes of elections.

The state was merged in 1948. India became Republic in 1950. It took two years to conduct General elections. The Nizam was familiar with the state and people. A governor cannot be appointed as there was no statutory provision. So the Nizam was allowed to retain power even after the merger.

Women in the Telangana Struggle: Women suffered most under the rule of Nizams and doras. They were constantly harassed. They not only had to work for the landlords but also to serve the visiting officials. Many women were made slaves of the landlords. Such women attended the night schools of Andhra Maha Sabha and decided to join the Sanghams and the Communist Party. Some of them took arms and fought the Razakars, some of them sang songs and inspired people, some of them acted as doctors and nurses. But they had to make supreme sacrifices for the sake of the movement.

Andhra Maha Sabha in the beginning supported the education and literary works. The Nizam government subjected these centres to a lot of harassment as they were becoming centres of new radical thinking. By 1940 many communists had joined the AMS and they insisted on taking up other demands of the rural people like end to vetti, land reforms, oppression by doras etc. Some of the old leaders of the AMS disagreed and wanted it to continue as educational and literary forum. Soon the radical elements gained leadership and a new movement of the peasants started.
