The unkindest cut came in September 2018. When Kamaluddin passed away in Hyderabad, he was denied a state funeral, the minimum courtesy and standard practice for senior government personalities.
M Kamaluddin Ahmed
Long before Telangana became a reality, before slogans echoed across university campuses and political parties, there was M Kamaluddin Ahmed, who raised his voice for the region’s forgotten villages and neglected people.
History is often unkind to people who speak early. Several prominent names have become synonymous with the decades-old “struggle” for a separate Telangana, but it was Ahmed who stood up first and raised the issue of neglected farmers.
A son of Telangana’s rural soil, Ahmed carried the cause to Parliament, warning about the deep inequalities between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh decades before statehood was achieved.
And now, he is slowly fading away from the history books of Telangana statehood formation.
Hyderabad’s young men and women who completed their schooling in the late 1960s and early 1970s would recall the “Telangana agitation” that played havoc with many lives. That period was marred by hunger strikes, violence and police firing. Even the then dynamic M Channa Reddy would soon fade in the minds of the people of this region.
The simmering anger of the region’s original populace was, however, far from extinguished, as the justifiable demand for a separate “Telangana” state remained a pipe dream. Though the movement for a separate state gained fresh momentum again in the 2000s, it was not until June 2014 that the Telangana state finally became a reality.
He spoke for rural Telangana till his last breath
Right from the early 1960s to the 1990s, Kamaluddin Ahmed continued his work for the people of Telangana at the grassroots level.
He was an MLA from Cheriyal and Jangaon in 1962 and 1967, respectively. He was MP from Warangal/Hanamkonda during 1980, 1989 and 1991-96, before becoming the Union minister of state (civil supplies and public distribution) and minister of state (commerce).
Between 1985 and 1989, in his capacity as chairman of the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India (NAFED), he ensured fair representation of local issues at the central level. In 1994, he was made president of the then Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC).
Ahmed’s focus on irrigation projects brought great benefit to the highly arid farmland areas of Telangana. The greening of the hitherto arid belt of Karimnagar-Warangal, thanks to the Sriram Sagar Project (irrigation/hydroelectric power), was largely due to his untiring initiatives on the ground.
Most importantly, it is worth noting that during the Lok Sabha debates to commemorate the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence on September 1, 1997, it was Kamaluddin Ahmed who highlighted the continued backwardness of the “real” Telangana, especially in comparison with the far more advantaged and favoured Andhra region.
In 2001, Ahmed went on to become a member of the Planning Commission.
In addition to his political acumen, Ahmed was a well-read scholar who was fluent in Telugu, Urdu and English, an ideal combination for a Telangana statesman. His interest in sher-shayarimade him special to many from across the political spectrum. One of them was former prime minister AB Vajpayee, who handpicked Ahmed to be India’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during 2002-04.
Telangana’s rural son deserted
However, this exposition at the key parliamentary forum resulted in a backlash that was grossly unfair not only to the cause of Telangana, but also to the individual whose voice had never been acknowledged in the annals of the fight for Telangana statehood.
Post September 1997, Kamaluddin Ahmed’s former allies and even close colleagues and friends — many of whom had shared his vision — not only deserted him but also sought to discredit him in every way possible.
Most of them had already switched to an anti-separate Telangana stance. The abrupt lack of support was reflected in Ahmed losing the 1998/99 Lok Sabha election, which came as a rude surprise even to the man himself. Deeply saddened by the behaviour of his close friends and senior leaders, Ahmed opted for early retirement from active politics.
For such a singular crusader of the cause of Telangana, the injustices heaped on Ahmed are beyond enumeration — injustices that defy all reason. To be denied credit where due is commonplace in every sphere of human endeavour, but the targeted “erasure” of a senior leader with a remarkable track record can only be construed as vendetta.
Kamaluddin Ahmed passed away without a proper farewell
The unkindest cut came in September 2018. When Ahmed passed away in Hyderabad, he was denied a state funeral, the minimum courtesy and standard practice for senior government personalities. The “new-born” state saw no need to honour one of the foremost champions who had relentlessly argued for its very identity. Sadder still, the lapse raised no eyebrows.
With the Congress now back at the helm in Telangana, there is ample opportunity to set the record straight and accord M Kamaluddin Ahmed the recognition and credit he fully deserves. The annals of the Telangana movement would remain incomplete without the name of this selfless crusader for the region’s identity and economic development.
This was the voice of a true son of the soil, not that of an opportunistic politician. And this was a full decade before the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) gave its clarion call for a separate Telangana.
“Telangana Shining” is a label that we see everywhere in Hyderabad today. However, few in this bustling South Indian city of 7 million would remember, even if faintly, that statehood for this region did not come easy.

The idea took shape after Aziz read about a food bank in Chennai. Moved by the concept, he decided to start something similar in Hyderabad.

Hyderabad :
Hyderabad is a city synonymous with food — from the aroma of biryani to bustling night markets. But for Mohammed Aziz, the city’s most important meal is not served in its famous restaurants. It is handed out at dawn outside hospitals to patients and families who often go hungry after exhausting their savings on treatment. What began in 2015 with 34 packets cooked in his mother’s kitchen has grown into a daily effort feeding nearly 300 people across the city.
The idea took shape after Aziz read about a food bank in Chennai. Moved by the concept, he decided to start something similar in Hyderabad. With help from his mother and four friends, he prepared the first batch of meals and distributed them on the streets. “There was no big plan; just a Facebook page and the belief that if people saw the need, they would come forward,” Aziz, 38, a corporate professional, tells TNIE.
Today, much of the distribution happens near Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences, where many patients and caregivers struggle to afford even a basic meal. “My parents always told me that doing good eventually finds its way back to you,” Aziz says. “Hyderabad is known for its food, but seeing eople starving outside government hospitals felt like a personal insult.”
For the past decade, his days have followed a steady rhythm. Early mornings are spent distributing meals to patients, caregivers and migrant workers sleeping on pavements. After the last packet is handed out, he heads to his corporate job. “We serve around 300 to 400 people every morning — patients and their families who have nothing left after paying for medicines,” he says.
Over the years, the initiative has grown into a volunteer network of students, professionals and homemakers. Meals are distributed near major government hospitals such as Niloufer Hospital, Gandhi Hospital and Osmania General Hospital, where the need is often most visible. “You see cancer patients and migrant workers who have not had a hot meal in days. Giving them food is not just about nutrition; it is about ensuring they do not lose their dignity while they are suffering,” Aziz says.
Interestingly, the initiative does not accept monetary donations. For the past decade, the group has followed a zero-cash policy. Those who wish to contribute either cook food at home, sponsor raw materials or volunteer during distribution. As the effort expanded, the team set up a small kitchen in King Koti to manage the daily cooking. Preparations begin at about 5.30 am, and by 7.30 am the meals are ready for distribution.
The menu remains simple — usually rice, bagara rice and dal — ensuring freshly cooked, nutritious food for those who need it most.
What started with four friends has now grown into a citywide volunteer network, with over 40 active members helping with cooking, packing and distribution. After a decade of work, Aziz says the mission remains unchanged. “I want to reach every major hospital in Hyderabad,” he says. “No one waiting for treatment should have to worry about their next meal.”

In a world increasingly fragmented by invisible walls and bitter divides, two young men from Nampally recently proved that the pulse of humanity beats stronger than the fear of death. Mohammad Imtiaz and Habib didn’t just save lives; they offered the world a profound lesson written in soot and sacrifice: “Humanity is the greatest religion of all.”
The Dance of Death
The day began like any other, but it quickly turned into a nightmare as a ferocious fire broke out in the narrow lanes of Nampally. As the sky turned black with smoke and the screams of trapped children pierced the air, a crowd gathered. Many watched in horror, paralysed by the spectacle of the “dance of death.”
But Imtiaz and Habib did not hesitate. They didn’t stop to ask the names of the children or the faith of their parents. To them, they weren’t “someone else’s children”; they were simply young lives on the verge of being extinguished.
A Sacrifice for the “Tender Buds”
Driven by a singular, frantic urge to protect the innocent, the duo plunged into the inferno. Witnesses describe a scene of pure heroism: two shadows moving through the orange glow, determined to pluck “tender buds” from the jaws of a fiery end.
They succeeded in their mission – the children were brought to safety. But in a cruel twist of fate, the fire that failed to claim the little ones took the lives of their saviours. Imtiaz and Habib breathed their last, leaving behind grieving families and a city in mourning.
The Message in the Blood
These were young men with dreams, parents waiting at home, and a future ahead of them. Yet, in that defining moment, they chose “the other” over themselves. Their sacrifice sends a stinging rebuke to a society often blinded by communal friction. Through their actions, they declared that their faith was one that gives life, not one that takes it.
As the saying goes, “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” Imtiaz and Habib became those candles. They burned out, but in doing so, they ignited a flame of empathy in thousands of hearts.
Our Debt to the Martyrs
The question now remains: How do we honour such a colossal sacrifice?
State Recognition: It is imperative that the government supports their families and recognises their bravery with posthumous gallantry awards.
A Living Tribute: The truest monument we can build for them is not made of marble, but of mindsets. To truly salute Imtiaz and Habib, we must purge the religious prejudice from our hearts and learn to see the human before the creed.
In the ashes of Nampally, a grim tragedy occurred. But from those same ashes, a story of immortal love has risen – one that Hyderabad, and the nation, must never forget.

From a small-town reporter in Sathupally to a voice of conscience in the city, Mohammad Mujahid’s journey is a lyrical testament to the power of the written word in an age of discord.
Hyderabad:
In a world increasingly divided by invisible walls, Mohammad Mujahid is a man busy building bridges. His tools aren’t mortar and stone, but the elegant curves of the Telugu script and an unwavering belief in the human spirit.
What began two decades ago as a young man’s quest for truth in the dusty lanes of Khammam district has today blossomed into a significant literary movement – one that seeks to replace prejudice with poetry and fear with understanding.
The Genesis of a Vision
The spark for Mujahid’s odyssey was a profound spiritual mandate. Inspired by the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ exhortation – “Convey from me, even if it is a single word” – Mujahid didn’t just find a career; he found a calling.
Starting in 2000 as a contributor for the Eenadu daily, he realised early on that the greatest distance between two communities is often a lack of shared language. He chose to bridge this gap by bringing the essence of Islamic thought to the Telugu masses, stripping away the dense layers of Urdu and Arabic to reveal universal truths in a tongue that felt like home to millions.
Mujahid’s writing is characterised by a rare “soul-to-soul” connection. He doesn’t just inform; he heals.
The Myth-Buster: Through seminal works like ‘Islam Velugu’ (The Light of Islam) and ‘Islam Jeevana Tarangalu’ (The Rhythms of Islamic Life), he has acted as a literary surgeon, delicately removing the tumours of misconception and Islamophobia that often plague social discourse.
The Gardener of Souls: His work ‘Balavanam’ (The Children’s Garden) is perhaps his most tender contribution. It is an investment in the future, teaching children that values like kindness, honesty, and empathy are the true universal languages.
The Social Poet: When the journalist in him meets the poet, the result is a stinging yet hopeful commentary on contemporary issues. His verses don’t just rhyme; they reason.
A Chorus of Approval
It is rare for a writer to find equal resonance among religious scholars and secular literary icons. Mujahid has achieved exactly that.
The legendary Jnanpith Awardee C. Narayana Reddy (CiNaRe) once found his style captivating, while the eminent Qur’an translator Sheikh Hamidullah Sharif saw in him a powerful ally for truth. From historians like Syed Naseer Ahamed to veteran editors like Ejaz Aslam, the consensus is clear: Mujahid’s pen is a social necessity.
For Mujahid, the journey is far from over. He remains a man on a mission, driven by the philosophy that silence in the face of social decay is complicity.
“The message of peace isn’t the property of a religion; it is the inheritance of humanity,” he often says. In his modest workspace, the scratching of his pen continues to be a defiant sound against the noise of hate.
At a time when the fabric of society feels frayed, Mohammad Mujahid reminds us that a single individual, armed with an honest pen and a heart full of harmony, can still rewrite the story of a nation. His life is not just a biography; it is a blueprint for coexistence.
