That goes back some way in history. Raju's rules during the revolt held that only the British and government institutions were to be attacked. The rebels of Rampa saw their war as being with the British. And the lower bureaucracy here is mainly non- tribal. Leased land seldom returns to the owner.
Some outsiders even take an adivasi woman as a second wife to gain tribal land.
Kondapalli fell in Sitarama Raju's action zone. From here, the British sent rebels to the Andamans, smashing the clans and pauperizing the village. That cracking up of communities means that direct popular memory of the period is fractured. But Raju's name still spells magic. And the issues remain.
