'''Kumuram Bheem Tribal Museum''' is a [[museum]] at Jodeghat village of [[Kerameri|Kerameri mandal]] at [[Komaram Bheem Asifabad district|Komaram bheem Asifabad district]]. The Jodeghat Museum, also known as the [[Asifabad, Telangana|Asifabad]] Museum, is one of the most important cultural sites in the Asifabad and adjacent areas.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.telangana360.com/2016/12/jodeghat.html | title=Jodeghat }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://telanganatoday.com/jodeghat-village-on-development-path-in-asifabad | title=Jodeghat village on development path in Asifabad | date=30 October 2020 }}</ref><br />
<br />
The museum stands out as one of the most historically significant locations in terms of Asifabad's tribal culture and Heritage. On September 1, 1940, Adivasi fighter [[Komaram Bheem|Kumuram Bheem]] and his companions were [[martyr]]ed at Jodeghat, and the location developed a reputation for bravery and courage.<br />
<br />
Kumuram Bheem, the popular tribal revolutionary, fought for [[Adivasi]] rights and was known for his thoughts on Jal (water), Jungle (forest) and Zameen (land).<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The museum was launched on October 16, 2016, by Chief Minister [[K. Chandrashekar Rao|Kalvakuntla Chandra Shekhar Rao]], in honour of tribal chiefs who bravely fought for Jal (water), Jungle (forest), and Zameen (land).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Today |first=Telangana |date=2021-10-20 |title=Thousands pay homage to tribal legend Kumram Bheem |url=https://telanganatoday.com/thousands-pay-homage-to-tribal-legend-kumram-bheem |access-date=2022-06-20 |website=Telangana Today |language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
Kumuram Bheem was a tribal leader who rose up against [[Nizam of Hyderabad|Nizam]] police brutality in order to protect Adivasi rights and forest areas. Because the steep location has good defence facilities, Bheem has picked Jodeghat as the focal point for combating police forces. Tribal people were disturbed by Bheem's quest for sovereignty over Jal, the jungle, and Zameen. The news quickly travelled to 12 newly constructed hamlets in Asifabad district's Kerameri Mandal.<ref>{{Citation |title=Komaram Bheem Museum In Jodeghat Village {{!}}{{!}} Adilabad {{!}} hmtv Telugu News |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lo7BZR2czY |language=en |access-date=2022-06-20}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=Jodeghat {{!}} Komaram Bheem's Birth Village {{!}} {{as written|Lo|osing It's [sic]|expecting=Losing Its}} Charm Due to Lack of Basic Amenities |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_yxDO7QeJM |language=en |access-date=2022-06-20}}</ref> He used guerrilla warfare method for fighting against the Nizams.<br />
<br />
On September 10, 1940, Bheem held his last meet at Avval pen of Jodeghat, and Nizam's men assaulted him. Kumuram Bheem and several of his followers were murdered in the fight.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-03-29 |title=Jodeghat Museum: జోడెన్ఘాట్ వీరభూమి |url=https://www.sakshi.com/telugu-news/travel/komaram-bheem-jode-ghat-museum-attract-tourists-1353147 |access-date=2022-06-20 |website=Sakshi |language=te}}</ref><br />
