==Early life==
Krishnamacharyulu Dasarathi was born as Daasarathi on 22 July 1925 in a middle-class Vaishnava Brahmin family. His native village Chinnaguduru is in the [[Maripeda]] Mandal, [[Mahabubabad district]]. An orthodox, but discreet, Vaishnava bhakta, he was an erudite scholar of Indian Puranas with a fine grip on Telugu, Sanskrit and Tamil languages. He matriculated from the Khammam Government High School but gave up higher education to join the movement against the autocratic [[Nizam]] rule in the Hyderabad Kingdom.

==Career==

===Activism===

As a volunteer in the left-wing andhra mahashaba movement, Dasarathi travelled from village to village in [[Telangana]] to enlighten the public. [[Mahatma Gandhi]] and [[Kandukuri Veeresalingam]] influenced him. However, he joined the political left, as most of his friends were leftists and communist revolutionaries.

===Poetry===

He began writing poetry very young when he was a student. His poetry was revolutionary and was influenced by the communist ideology of [[Karl Marx]]. The downtrodden, poor, exploited, workers were his subjects in poetry. He strongly believed that the capitalist, [[feudalist]] and autocratic society under Nizam rule would give way to democracy and [[egalitarianism|equality]].

After the [[Independence of India]] in 1947, many independent kingdoms and principalities joined the newly formed [[Dominion of India|Indian Union]]. However, [[Hyderabad State]] under the autocratic rule of the then ruler [[Mir Osman Ali Khan]] did not join the Union. Mir Osaman Ali Khan failed to control the atrocities committed by the [[Mazlis Ittehadul Muslimeen]] Party. At this juncture, the State [[Indian National Congress|Congress Party]] under the leadership of [[Swamy Raamaanandateerdha]] called for an action against the autocratic Nizam's rule. Thousands of people went to jail by responding to this call and participating in [[Satyagraha]] (civil disobedience).

===Arrest and imprisonment===

Dasarathi was arrested in 1947 and was sent to [[Warangal]] central jail, along with many other leaders who went on to prominence in independent India. Dasarathi was later moved to [[Nizamabad, Andhra Pradesh|Nizamabad]] central jail. While in jail he wrote poetry. After his release he left Telangana for [[Vijayawada]] and wrote poetry against the Nizam in ''Telugu Desam'', a daily paper devoted to news and articles related to Telangana and the Nizam's rule.

In 1948, the Indian Union took over the Hyderabad State in a police action and put an end to the autocratic Nizam rule and to the violence unleashed by the [[Razakars (Hyderabad)|Razakars]] and Mazlis Ittehadul Muslimeen Party. Later, in 1956 the Telangana part of the Hyderabad state was united with the state of Andhra and eventually formed the state of [[Andhra Pradesh]], which was till June 2, 2014.

After democratic rule was established in [[Hyderabad]], Dasarathi served in the government of Andhra Pradesh for some time. Later, he worked for [[All India Radio]] [[Hyderabad]] and [[Madras]] (Chennai) as a prompter and retired in 1971. He served as the Government Poet from 1971 through 1984. He also rendered services as an emeritus producer for All India Radio and Doordarshan (Television).

===Literary works===

Daasrathi obtained fame through his revolutionary poetry. His first book [[Agnidhara]] (Flowing Fire) was published in 1947. This book is about the Telangana Armed Struggle against Nizams rule, in which young Daasarathi served as a revolutionary. Daasarathi wrote part of his book Agnidhara while he was in jail and completed it after his release.

His other works include ''Rudraveena'' (1950), ''Mahandrodyamam'', ''Punarnavam'', ''Amruthabishekam'', ''Kavithapushpakam'' and ''Ghalib Geethalu'' (1961). ''Ghalib Geethalu'' is the [[Telugu language|Telugu]] translation of the poems of [[Urdu]] poet [[Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib]]. He has also composed Lyrics to many Telugu films.

Daasarathi said that the "Nizams brutal rule, Peoples woes under his rule, Indian Independence, Entry of Indian Armed Forces to free Nizams state and the fall of Nizam" as the inspiration for his writings.<ref>[http://www.telugubharati.com/kavitalu/dASarathi/agnidhAra/purAsmRitulu.html Preface Agnidhara]</ref>

===Tollywood===

He wrote lyrics for many [[Cinema of Andhra Pradesh|Telugu movies]]. His debut movie was ''Vaagdanam''. He wrote lyrics for approximately 2000 songs in the Telugu film industry. He also wrote lyrics for the popular movies ''Iddaru Mitrulu (1962), ''[[Pooja (1976 Film)|Pooja]]''.
