Potti Sreeramulu (16 March 1901 - 15 December 1952); was an Indian revolutionary. A devout follower of Mahatma Gandhi; he worked for much of his life for humanitarian causes; including support for the Dalit community.

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 in support of the formation of an Indian state for the Telugu-speaking population of Madras Presidency; he lost his life in the process.

His death sparked public rioting; and Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru declared the intent to form Andhra State three days following. Pictures From History
