[edit] Merger

i accidentally removed the merger tag, i am not 100% sure that kuruma gollas and kurubas are the same Dear Editor,

Yes, they are the same.

There are various types of Gollas and kurubas with distinct occupations and cultural practices.As people of these subsects are migrating into non traditional occupations, their culture is changing resulting in disappearance of the differences in the subsects.

But the differences among the Kurumas and Gollas in Telangana are becoming thin and thinner over a period and they are fusing into one another.in Telangana,Kurma Gollas are same as Gollas. It can be seen from the fact that they have a common occupation of goat herding and sheep rearing, common God(Mallanna or Mallikarjunaswamy), a priest(oggu pujari),oggu katha and same musical instrument, Dol.The homogenous culture, economy and geography is the binding element.The difference among them is insignificant.That is the reason that Kurubas or Kuruvas or Kurumas of Telangana are referred to as Kuruma Gollas by the people of other communities.Several Kuruma families of Medak district carry surname of Golla.

There is a historical perspective to this relationship.This relationship can be established from the fact that Beerappa, the clan God of Kurubas,in almost all Oggu Kathas(ballads) claims that he is son in law of Devagiri King.The historical fact is Ramachandra-1, the ruler of Devagagiri was Yadava king with sway over all over the present day Maharashtra, till he was defeated by the legions of Malik kafar, the commander of Khilji.His son in law Harpal dev and son Prahlad dev were the last Yadava Rulers of Devagiri dynasty.

Regarding the prominent people Kurubas you can add the following:

1.Dr.Satyavant.M.Mallanna, founder of Institute of Preventive Medicine in Hyderabad and Member of Indian Chloroform Commission that visited England to demonstrate that chloroform can be administered as anaesthesia with less risk levels.

2. General Sri Nagesh,(Son of Dr.S.M.Mallana),who studied in London Public School and became second Indian to become chief Army Staff. He was in charge of Kumaon regiment for several years. On retirement from the army, he was Governor of Assam,Mysore and Andhra Pradesh.He was also principal of Administrative Staff College of India at Hyderabad.

Late K.Chandraiah,IAS, in his book on Hyderabad paid glorious tributes SM Mallanna and Gen Sri Nagesh.

3. Kollur Mallappa, first President, Hyderabad Pradesh Congress Committee, prior to the merger of Hyderabad state into Andhra Pradesh.He was Memeber of Parliament from Raichur, now in Karnataka for several terms. He was mentor of late Prime Minister P.V.Narasimha Rao,several leaders like Virendra Patil, Shivaraj Patil,S.B.Chavan and G.venkataswamy etc.He founded Kuruma Sangham and Kuruma hostel in Hyderabad.

4.Bandaru Dattatraya, 3 terms MP from Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency and former Union Minister.

Though there are many worth mentioning,these additions can make the site complete.

Yours warmly

Pasham Yadagiri, Hyderabad. 3.

If the stuff listed is really alternate names, they shouldn't have separate articles. The information at the other names should be merged over here, and the article should be turned into a redirect. NickelShoe 00:11, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect from Kurumba and EB 1911

Hi! For the MEA article list, I have placed a redirect from Kurumba to Kuruba. Further, there are the respective tags for EB. Please retain the details at the time of merger. --ΜιĿːtalk 15:43, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

What on earth does "retain the details at the time of merger" mean? NickelShoe 16:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

1) Kurumba redirects here, NOT Kuruma 2) Retain {{MEA-Expand}}, {{1911}} and EB section during/after merger edits. --ΜιĿːtalk 16:29, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
