The Telangana Rebellion that occurred between 1946 and 1947 left a deep impression on the communist movement going on in India. This ensued an internal debate and formulation of the "Andhra Thesis" where the communists from Andhra Pradesh urged that for the sake of Indian Revolution the communist movement must follow the style of communist movement in China. On June 1948, the "Andra Letter" was articulated that emphasised on the strategy of protracted people's war and new democracy based on Mao Zedong Thought.
