Gaddar

It seems you are asking for the full story of something or someone called

When Telangana was finally formed as India's 29th state in 2014, Gaddar was the hero of the hour. Yet, he remained critical of the new government, saying that the real revolution—for the rights of the poorest—was not yet complete. Gaddar died on August 6, 2023, at the age of 74. His funeral was a state event. Hundreds of thousands of people—farmers, students, politicians, and artists—lined the streets to bid him farewell.

His most famous song, "Telangana Banda Koyyaka" (Cut the Telangana Crop), became an anthem for the people fighting for land rights. He did not just sing; he organized. He taught peasants to fight against feudal lords (zamindars) and police brutality. By the late 1970s and 1980s, the government saw him as a dangerous Naxalite. In 1997, while he was performing at a public meeting, assailants (widely believed to be police or paramilitary operatives) shot him multiple times.

In almost all contexts, "Gaddar" is a story of a man who chose a side—either the side of the powerful (and became a traitor to the people) or the side of the poor (and was branded a traitor by the state).
