'''Panditharadhyula Nageswara Rao''' (26 March 1912 – 13 November 1976) was a [[Telugu language|Telugu]]-language Indian journalist.<ref name=indiamapped>{{cite web |title=Andhra Prabha News Paper |publisher=India Mapped: News Papers in India |url=http://www.indiamapped.com/news-papers-in-india/andhra-prabha-news-paper/ |accessdate=2013-04-04 |archive-date=29 April 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140429071644/http://www.indiamapped.com/news-papers-in-india/andhra-prabha-news-paper/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><br />
<br />
Nageswara Rao was born in Inturu, in the [[Guntur]] district of Andhra, to a Brahmin couple Mallayya and Bhairavamba. With due respect for weavers, he wore [[khadi]] from his college days.<br />
<br />
He started his career during the last years of British Rule in India and continued with his editorials after Independence. He came to prominence with Andhra Janatha and [[Andhra Prabha]]<ref>{{cite book|first=N. V. R.

Krishna, Sri Potturi Venkateswararao, had adorned the annals of torch bearing Andhra Prabha and enriched its fame and name. Andhra Prabha has ever been on the forefront to extend moral, social and financial support to the victims of natural calamities like floods, famines etc., by voluntarily raising bulk and hafty."</ref><br />
<br />
When a newspaper was the only medium of communication just after independence, Panditharadhyula Nageswara Rao garu rose high during the congress reign proving that "Pen is mightier than the sword".<br />
<br />
He wrote several short stories about Gods and the famous ones include "The fight between Vali & Sugreeva and Hidden Rama".<br />
<br />
"Railu Tappina Prayanikulu" was one of the powerful editorials by him which helped Congress win the 1956 elections. This fetched him national acclaim and he was visited by [[Lal Bahadur Sastri]] garu (the then Prime Minister of India) and [[Subhash Chandra Bose]]. He was a close associate of [[Jalagam Vengala Rao]] garu, Timmareddy garu, [[N.G. Ranga]] Garu, [[Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy]] garu and [[Kasu Brahmananda Reddy]] garu. He never aimed at achieving 'Name and Fame' but always believed in the sincerity of his writings by being lawful and reasonable. This created the struggle for the pen and the wallet. But the mighty pen never stayed quiet. He took a step ahead and started an English Weekly "Pedestrian".<br />
<br />
Nageswara Rao was married to Paravatha Vardhani. The couple had three sons and two daughters. He lost his elder son in August 1976. On 13 November 1976 he died due to cardiac arrest.<br />
