==Early life==<br />
Suddala Hanmanthu was born in Paladugu village, Mothkur mandal. Later, he moved to suddala village of Gundala Mandal in [[Yadadri bhuvanagiri district]], [[Telangana State]] in India.<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
Suddala Hanmanthu's poetry inspired the people of [[Telangana]] to participate in the [[communist]]-led peasant struggle against the oppressive rule of feudal lords and the [[Nizam]]. Along with his contemporary leader [[Gurram Yadagiri Reddy]], a famous communist leader, he fought against Doras and Gadi's rule.<br />
<br />
This struggle was known in Indian history as the [[Telangana Rebellion]]. His themes were freedom from the bonded labour known as ''Vetti Chakiri'', democracy, liberation, equality and communism.<br />
<br />
His [[Telugu language|Telugu]] folk song, ''Palletoori Pillagada'', mobilised the people of his region. It was included in the movie, ''[[Maa Bhoomi]]'' (1980). The movie ''[[Rajanna]]'', starring [[Nagarjuna (actor)|Nagarjuna]] is inspired by Sri Suddala Hanumanthu's life.<br />
<br />
