Born on March 16, 1901, Potti Sreeramulu garu was a devoted Indian freedom fighter, widely honored as “Amarajeevi” for his unwavering commitment to the Andhra cause. He gained national recognition through a 58-day hunger strike, demanding the creation of a separate state for Telugu-speaking people. His passing on December 15, 1952, sparked widespread public protests and grief, prompting Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to announce the formation of Andhra State just four days later, on December 19, 1952. Sreeramulu’s selfless sacrifice played a pivotal role in the birth of a Telugu-speaking state, marking a historic milestone in India’s linguistic and cultural identity.
