Alluri Sitaram Raju🤠

Alluri Sitarama Raju (1897 or 1898 – 7 May 1924) was an Indian revolutionary involved in the Indian Independence Movement. After the passing of the 1882 Madras Forest Act, its restrictions on the free movement of tribal people in the forest prevented them from engaging in their traditional podu Agricultural System, which involved shifting cultivation. Alluri led the Ramba Rebellion of 1922, during which a band of tribal people and other sympathisers fought in the border areas of the East Godavari and Vishakapatnam regions of Madras Presidency, in present-day Andra Pradesh, against the British Raj, which had passed the law. He was referred to as “Manyam Veerudu” (transl. ’Hero of the Jungle’) by the local people.

Alluri Sitarama Raju was born in a Telugu -speaking family to Venkata Rama Raju and Suryanarayanamma. Details of Alluri’s early life vary. An official report suggests that he was born in Bhimavaram Talukand several sources locate it as village of Mogallu, in West Godavari District. More recent news stories name the village of Pandarangi, which lies in the Bheemunipatanam legislative assembly constituency, as his precise place of birth.

He led the ill-fated “Rampa Rebellion” of 1922–24, during which a band of tribal leaders and other sympathizers fought against the British Raj. He was referred to as “Manyam Veerudu” (Hero of the Jungles) by the local people. Born into a prosperous Kshatriya family in Andhra Pradesh, he gave up everything for the freedom struggle. He took up the cause of the tribal people in the Agency areas, who were being harassed by British officials under the Forest Act, and led an armed rebellion against the British forces.
