National feelings were very high during the early years of independence Social welfare and community development were the Priorities during the first half of nineteen fifties.

A staunch socialist and an enthusiastic experienced industrialist of Meru community Mr.Talla Narsimloo of Hyderabad was longing to start a sangham for the unity and the upliftment of the people of the community. During the same course of time Mr.Kandula Pandarinath of Hyderabad and Mr.K.V. Keshavulu of Chennur, Adilabad District met Mr.Talla Narsimloo and expressed their progressive thoughts. The interaction among the three and many more other socialists of the community resulted in the formation of Telangana Meru sangham in 1954. As the follow up program the first Meru Conference was held in Hyderabad under the Chairmanship of Mr.Talla Narsimloo in his factory grounds in Azamabad Hyderabad in 1954 itself. The conference had elected Mr. Talla Narsimloo as the President, Mr.K.V.Keshavuloo and Mr. K.Pandarinath as general secretaries of the Sangham.

The main Occupation of the people of the Community has been ‘Tailoring’ generations together. The Community had prevailed in all the districts of Erst while Hyderabad state, comprising Telangana, Karnataka and Maratwada regions.

In many parts of the Country ‘Tailoring’ is undertaken by any one, who acquires the skill in tailoring. It was not so in Hyderabad state. There was a Specific artisan community in the state whose main Occupation was tailoring called ‘Darji’ in urdu and ‘Meru’ in Telugu. After the state reorganisation in 1956, the Telangana region was merged with Andhra Pradesh state, the Karnataka part with Karnataka State and the Maratwada part with Maharastra state. Thus the Merus are spread over mostly in these three states.

Merus were recruited in the regiments of the defence services to meet their tailoring and sewing requirements. As the regiments moved from one place to another, the recruited Merus also moved with them and settled with their families in the cantonment areas called ‘Chawnees’ throughout the country. Thus Merus for generations have been exposed to patriotic environment in chawnees. In Maharashtra merus are called “Simpi Kshatriya.”
