&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Ganapathy was born in Sarangapur, [[Karimnagar]] district of [[Telangana]]. He is a science graduate and also holds a [[Bachelor of Education#India|B.Ed.]] degree.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Rahul Pandita. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Hello Bastar: The Untold Story Of India’s Maoist Movement&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Tranquebar Press (2011). {{ISBN|978-93-8065834-6}}.Chapter VI. p. 111&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He worked as teacher in Karimnagar district but deserted his job to pursue higher education in [[Warangal]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/nation/we-shall-certainly-defeat-the-government &amp;quot;We Shall Certainly Defeat the Government&amp;quot;] &amp;#039;&amp;#039;OPEN&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Retrieved 5 January 2013&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=wanted /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early political life==&lt;br /&gt;
In Warangal, Ganapathy came in touch with the [[Maoist]] cadres Nalla Adi Reddy and [[Kondapalli Seetharamaiah]], and eventually he also decided to join the [[Naxalite]] movement in the country. He was one of the early members of [[Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) People&amp;#039;s War]] (People&amp;#039;s War Group) and grew as General Secretary of the party that is now called as Communist Party of India (Maoist), an output of the merger of [[People&amp;#039;s War Group]] and [[Maoist Communist Centre of India]] (MCCI) that took place in 2004. He remains active in the so-called [[Red belt (India)|red belt of India]] including the [[Bastar district|Bastar]] region of [[Chhattisgarh]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;bastar&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|last1=Pandita|first1=Rahul|title=Hello, Bastar: The Untold Story Of India&amp;#039;s Maoist Movement|date=10 June 2011|publisher=Tranquebar|location=New Delhi|isbn=978-9380658346}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Personal life==&lt;br /&gt;
Ganapathy tends to be reclusive and difficult to meet, and has only done a few interviews. This includes an in-depth interview with  [https://www.rediff.com/news/1998/oct/07gana.htm Chindu Sreedharan] of rediff.com in 1998, with the [[BBC]], and with [[Rahul Pandita]], a journalist from Open magazine and the author of &amp;quot;Hello Bastar&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;nl&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Role in Maoist activities==&lt;br /&gt;
Ganapathy is one of the most wanted persons by the Indian security forces for his role in several Naxal activities.
