Amarajeevi Potti Sreeramulu (16 March
1901 – 15 December 1952), was an Indian freedom fighter and revolutionary.
Sreeramulu is revered as Amarajeevi ("Immortal Being") in the Andhra
region for his self-sacrifice for the Andhra cause. He became famous for
undertaking a hunger strike for 56 days in support of having separate state for
Andhra Pradesh; he died in the process.
His death sparked public rioting and
Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru declared the intent by the newly
liberated nation to form Andhra State three days following the death of
Sreeramulu. He contributed his life for the formation of a separate Telugu-speaking
state from the dominant Tamil-speaking state of tamil nadu presidency. His
struggles led to the formation of separate Telugu-speaking state called
"Andhra Pradesh".
