Question

Who was Potti Srimalu? How did he die?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Potti Sreeramulu (IAST: Poṭṭi Śreerāmulu; 16 March 1901 – 15 December 1952), was an Indian 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 the formation of an Indian state for the Telugu-speaking population of Madras Presidency; 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 Madras presidency (now Tamil Nadu). His struggles led to the formation of separate Telugu-speaking state called "Andhra Pradesh".
