			==Career==
			===Medical and early political career===
			He started his practice as a doctor in the coastal town of [[Machilipatnam]], headquarters of Krishna District and the political centre of Andhra. He left his lucrative practice to join the freedom fighting movement. During the years 1912–13, when there was a great controversy over the desirability of forming a separate province for [[Andhra State\|Andhra]], he wrote a number of articles in "The Hindu" and other journals explaining the need for immediate formation of linguistic provinces.

	At the Lucknow session of the Congress in 1916, he demanded the formation of separate Congress circle for Andhra. The demand was opposed by Mahatma Gandhi, but as [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak\|Tilak]] supported Pattabhi, the Andhra Congress Committee came into existence in 1918. He was a member of the Working Committee of the Congress for a number of years and the President of Andhra Provincial Congress Committee in 1937–40.

He was a member of the Working Committee of the Congress for a number of years and the President of Andhra Provincial Congress Committee in 1937–40.

	He ran for the presidency of the [[Indian National Congress]] as the candidate closest to [[Mohandas Gandhi]], against [[Netaji Subash Chandra Bose]] in ~~[[Tripura\|~~Tripuri]] Session of 1939. He lost owing to [[Netaji]]'s rising popularity and the belief that Pattabhi favoured the inclusion of [[Tamil people\|Tamil]]-majority districts in a future [[Telugu people\|Telugu]] state in independent India.		===Publications and imprisonment===

He lost owing to [[Netaji]]'s rising popularity and the belief that Pattabhi favoured the inclusion of [[Tamil people\|Tamil]]-majority districts in a future [[Telugu people\|Telugu]] state in independent India.

	Serving on the [[Congress Working Committee]] when the [[Quit India Movement]] was launched in 1942, Pattabhi was arrested with the entire committee and incarcerated for three years without outside contact in the fort in [[Ahmednagar]], [[Maharashtra]]. During this time he maintained a detailed [[diary]] of day-to-day life during imprisonment, which was published later as ''Feathers and Stones''. He is also the author of ''The History of the Congress'' published in 1935 with an introductory note given by the [[Rajendra Prasad]]. His other popular publication was ''Gandhi and Gandhism'' .
