Z For Z. Veerabhadra puram
I have surprised when I first heard the name of that village. Z.Veerabhadra puram. Why did the prefix Z get included in the village's name..? That village situated in a remote area of Bhadrachalam division. Before 1959, all this area was in the part of East Godavari district of Andhra pradesh. Later on, which had been a part of Khammam district. With bifurcation, this place got into Telangana state. Inter state border villages have a strange advantage with surfacing two kinds of cultures and accents.
Well, let me tell you about the Z story. In the time of British ruling, say, before 1940s, some villages were auctioned to the public to procure revenue. Only Zamindars who belonged to upper strata could secure such villages by paying auction money. It was then called Zamindar Veerabhadra puram, briefly Z. Veerabhadra puram. Interestingly, there is another village beside it and which is called K.Veerabhadra puram. K is for Koya, the local tribe's name. Here I am giving you two pics that will lead to both the villages.
