The “Marwadi Go Back” movement in Telangana emerged in August 2025, following a parking dispute in Secunderabad’s Monda Market. A local individual was allegedly assaulted by a Marwari trader over the issue, leading to the circulation of a video that went viral on social media. This incident sparked widespread protests and calls for the Marwari community to leave Telangana.
parking dispute in Secunderabad’s Monda Market marwadi vs dalith incident
- Trigger Incident: The campaign intensified following a recent altercation in Monda Market involving Dalit youth and Marwaris, which brought underlying tensions to the surface.
To recap, the incident occurred when a Dalit youth parked his two-wheeler in front of a Marwadi-owned shop in Monda Market. The Marwadi shop owner objected to the parking, leading to a heated argument between the two. The situation escalated, and the Marwadi shop owner allegedly assaulted the Dalit youth.
- Economic and Cultural Grievances: Local traders allege that Marwaris engage in unethical business practices, such as selling duplicate products, and that their economic success comes at the expense of local entrepreneurs. There is also a perception that the Marwari culture is “alien” to Telangana, fueling socio-cultural resentment.
Local traders in areas like Amangal, Rangareddy district, voiced concerns that Marwari and Gujarati traders were dominating various business sectors, including textiles, diamonds, and retail, thereby harming local businesses and limiting employment opportunities for residents.
In response, political figures such as Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar criticized the movement, describing it as a conspiracy by the Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) to create divisions within the Hindu community. He emphasized that communities like the Marwaris contribute positively to Telangana’s economy and warned of a potential “Rohingya Go Back” movement if such campaigns continued.
The Osmania University Joint Action Committee (OUJAC) extended support to the “Marwari Go Back” campaign, announcing a bandh (strike) on August 22, 2025, to protest against the alleged dominance of Marwari businessmen in Telangana’s markets.
This movement highlights the complex interplay between local communities, economic interests, and political dynamics in Telangana, reflecting broader debates about regional identity, economic competition, and social cohesion.
How it should be end?
it should be discused with local government for protecting local rights, employment opportunities, by giving subsidy to local business owners, taxing on outsiders to control the ratio of mixed business opportunties. otherwise it will be like britishi east india compny business.
Why takingon whole community instead of Targeting culprit
Becuase of business competition, loss of business opportunities of locals and disrepctable behaviour of some out side business man.
Will congress govt encourage this?
if its old KCR govt, he can say one word only the punch dialogue, and closes it. Rahul gandhi congress like Divide and rule politics.
Marwadis backed BJP government almost 90%. so congress have to wait and watch. i definitely say revanth reddy do nothing about it.

Historical Context: The agitation is not unique in Telangana’s history. Similar outsider protests have occurred before, such as the 1952 Mulki agitation and earlier movements targeting other outsider communities, indicating a recurring pattern of local resistance to perceived economic and cultural encroachment.
