Amarajeevi vardhanti sandharbanga nivalulu Potti Sreeramulu (16 March 1901-15 December 1952 and transliterated as Potti Sriramulu and Potti Sri ramulu) was an Indian freedom fighter. He became famous for undertaking a fast-unto-death for achieving the state of Andhra and losing his life in the process. His sacrifice became instrumental in the linguistic re-organisation of states. He is revered as Amarajeevi (Immortal being) in Andhra Pradesh for his sacrifice. As a devout follower of Mahatma Gandhi, he worked life long to uphold principles such as truth and non-violence and objectives such as Harijan upliftment. Observing Potti Sreeramulu's commitment, Mahatma Gandhi once remarked, "We can achieve independence within a year if there were another ten people as committed and dedicated as Potti Sreeramulu." House No. 126, Royapettah High Road, Mylapore, Madras (Chennai) is the house where Potti Sreeramulu died and it has been preserved as a monument of importance by the state government of Andhra Pradesh. |
