Rich tributes were paid to freedom fighter, Telangana ideologue and editor of Golconda magazine Suravaram Pratap Reddy on his 126 th birth anniversary on Saturday.
In a statement issued on Friday, Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao recalled the yeoman services rendered by Suravaram to the Telangana society. He was a multi-faceted personality and was aptly known as ‘Telangana Vaithalikudu’ (a herald) for his role as writer, research scholar, editor and freedom fighter.
He had launched ‘Golconda’ new magazine to uphold the self-respect of Telangana literature and fought discrimination against Telangana. The inspiration ignited by Suravaram was embedded in the Telangana freedom struggle.
