Sri Potti Sriramulu was born in Chennai in 1890. His parents were
from Nellore District.
In 1946, he went to Nellore and devoted his time to Harijan welfare work and propagation of Khadi and village industries. He undertook three fasts during 1946-48 for the temple entry of Harijans in Nellore.
Sri Potti Sriramulu began his last fast on 19 October 1952 at Chennai for a separate Andhra state and continued his fast until he died on the night of 15 December 1952. This resulted in wide spread disturbances and opened the eyes of Nehru’s government. Thus Andhra Rastram was formed in October 1953, which was the first linguistic state. On November 1, 1956 Andhra Pradesh was formed including Hyderabad Samsthan.
Sri Potti Sriramulu became Amarajeevi (immortal) for Telugu People.
We celebrate Andhra Pradesh Formation Day, only because of Amarajeevi Potti Sriramulu.
The District Nellore was named after him & is being called Potti Sri Ramulu Nellore District.
