'''Andhra Mahasabha''' ([[Telugu language|Telugu]]: ఆంధ్ర మహాసభ, [[IAST]]: ''Āndhra mahāsabha'') was a people's organisation in the erstwhile [[Hyderabad state]] of [[India]]. The organization spearheaded people's awareness and people's movements among the [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-speaking populace of the state and eventually joined hands with the [[Communist Party of India]] to launch the [[Telangana Rebellion|Telangana rebellion]].<br />

== History ==<br />
An organization was originally started under the name ''Andhra Janasangham'' ({{trans|Andhra People's Society}}) in November 1921. It started with a mere 12 members after a failed attempt to pass a resolution in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] at Nizam's Social Reforms Conference in [[Hyderabad]]. Membership quickly increased to about hundred and first conference was held in February 1922 under the chairmanship of [[Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy]] with [[Madapati Hanumantha Rao]] as its secretary.<ref>{{cite web|title=The National Movement in Telangana|url=https://www.scribd.com/doc/203075798/Mordern-History-of-Karimnagar-a-p-India|accessdate=2014-09-12|work=Modern History of Karimnagar|via=Scribd}}</ref><br />

It was in 1928 when Madapati Hanumantha Rao took the lead to form Andhra Maha Sabha. First conference was held in 1930 at [[Andole–Jogipet|Jogipet]] under the chairmanship of [[Suravaram Pratapareddy]].<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Sundarayya|first1=Puccalapalli|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TPjIh1G0TmcC&dq=%22Andhra+Mahasabha%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA12|title=Telangana People's Struggle and Its Lessons|last2=Chattopadhyaya|first2=Harindranath|date=1972|publisher=Foundation Books|isbn=978-81-7596-316-0|pages=12|language=en}}</ref><br />
