'''[[Raja]] [[Sri]] Ravu Svetachalapati''' '''[[Sir]] Ramakrishna Ranga Rao''' [[Order of the Indian Empire|KCIE]] (20 February 1901 – 10 March 1978) was an Indian [[politician]] and ''[[zamindar]]'' who served as the [[List of chief ministers of Madras Presidency|Chief Minister of Madras Presidency]] from 5 November 1932 to 4 April 1936 and 24 August 1936 to 1 April 1937.

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao was born in the royal family of [[Bobbili]] ''zamindari'' in 1901. He succeeded his father [[Venkata Kumar Krishna]] to the throne of Bobbili and ruled as zamindar from 1921 to 1948 and as the titular "Raja of Bobbili" from 1948 to 1978. He set up trusts and patronized sports and education.

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao joined the [[Justice Party (India)|Justice Party]] in 1930 and was elected to the Madras Legislative Assembly. He served as the Chief Minister or Premier of [[Madras Presidency]] from 1932 to 1936 and 1937. He resigned as Chief Minister in 1937 when the Justice Party lost the elections. From 1946 to 1951, he served as a member of the [[Constituent Assembly of India]] which framed [[Constitution of India|India's Constitution]]. In his later years, he also served a term as a member of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly for the Bobbili assembly constituency.

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao married Lakshmi Subhadrayamma in 1921. He had a son Venkata Gopala Krishna Rao who succeeded him as Raja in 1978. Ramakrishna Ranga Rao is mostly remembered for his contribution towards framing India's constitution and for his service to society in establishing colleges. He is also held responsible by analysts for the defeat of the Justice Party in the 1937 assembly elections which is blamed upon his despotism and anti-people measures.

== Early life ==

[[File:Venkata Ranga Rao of Bobbili.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Raja Sir Venkata Svetachalapathi Ranga Rao Bahadur, KCIE, zamindar of Bobbili (1881-1921), grandfather of Ramakrishna Ranga Rao]]

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao was born in [[Bobbili]] in [[Madras Presidency]] (now a part of the [[Indian state]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]]) in the Bobbili royal family.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp150">[[#Encyclopedia of Political Parties|Encyclopedia of Political Parties]], Pg 150</ref>{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} He was the son of the [[heir-apparent]], Venkata Kumar Krishna Ranga Rao and the grandson of Raja [[Venkata Ranga Rao]] of the Bobbili zamindari. He had an elder sister Victoria Venkata Ramanamma, born on 10 October 1899.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

In his childhood, he was tutored by H.C. Leclare, D. Gordon, F.H.J. Wilkinson and Ramalingaswamy. He used to play badminton and billiards in the palace.<ref name="peoplesking">{{cite news|title=A people's king|url=http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2002/10/07/stories/2002100701390200.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030212214718/http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2002/10/07/stories/2002100701390200.htm|url-status=usurped|archive-date=12 February 2003|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=7 October 2002|last=B. M. G.}}</ref>

Ramakrishna married Lakshmi Subhadrayamma, a princess of the Tallaprole Zamindari in 1921. He succeeded to the throne as the 13th Raja of [[Bobbili]].<ref name="peoplesking" />

== Early political career ==

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao made his entry into politics when he was nominated a member of the [[Council of State (India)|Council of State]], the upper house of the [[Imperial Legislative Assembly of India]] in 1925. He served as a member of the assembly till 1927.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

Ramakrishna Ranga Rao contested the Madras general elections of 1930 from the Vizagapatam constituency as a [[Justice Party (India)]] candidate against the Nationalist Party nominee, C.V.S. Narasimha Raju, and polled 28,000 more votes than his opponent.<ref name="peoplesking" />

He also attended the second [[Round Table Conference]] held in London in 1931 as a representative of the Indian landholders.<ref name="peoplesking" />

== Rise to leadership ==

Bobbili rapidly rose in power and position during the tenure of [[B. Munuswamy Naidu]]. As Naidu began to alienate the zamindars by omitting eminent and powerful people like Muthiah Chettiar from his cabinet, these disgruntled zamindars favoured the Raja of Bobbili as an acceptable alternative.<ref name="encyclopediapoliticalpartiesp197">[[#Encycylopedia of Political Parties|Encyclopedia of Political Parties]], Pg 197</ref>{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} Gradually, the leadership of the party passed on from Naidu to Bobbili.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp250">[[#Encyclopedia of Political Parties|Encyclopedia of Political Parties]], Pg 250</ref>{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} When both his ministers in the cabinet resigned, Naidu was forced to step down as Chief minister.<ref name="encyclopediapoliticalpartiesp197" />{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} Subsequently, the Raja of Bobbili took oath as Chief Minister on 5 November 1932.

During this period, the Raja's personal secretary was [[C. N. Annadurai]] who later served as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu from 1967 to 1969.<ref name="decenteringp123">{{cite book|title=Decentring the Indian Nation|pages=123|first=Andrew|last=Wyatt|author2=John Zavos |publisher=Routledge|year=2003|isbn=071465387X|id=}}</ref>

The Raja of Bobbili became the Chief Minister on 5 November 1932 at the age of 31 and except for a short span of 4 months when he was on a trip to England, served as Chief Minister until 1 April 1937.<ref name="listofchiefministers2">{{Cite web|url=http://www.tn.gov.in/tnassembly/cmlist-1920.htm|title=List of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu|access-date=2008-10-20|publisher=Government of Tamil Nadu}}</ref> During his tenure, Madras was in the grips of the Great Depression. The Raja did introduce some measures in order to relieve the burden on the poor peasant. But by and large, the rapid depreciation of the economy remained unchecked and the government showed little concern towards the plight of the poor peasant. The Justice Party lost badly in the 1937 elections. The Raja's policies are believed to be the main reason.

=== Revival of the mayoralty ===

The [[Mayoralty]] of Madras came into existence when the Corporation of Madras was established in 1688. The first [[mayor]] was [[Nathaniel Higginson]], who resigned after a period of six months to take over as Governor of Madras. The post of mayor was abolished in 1801.<ref name="showingtheway">{{cite news|title=Showing the way|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=http://www.thehindujobs.com/thehindu/mp/2002/07/10/stories/2002071000070300.htm|first=S.|last=Muthiah|author-link=S. Muthiah|date=10 July 2007}}</ref>

The post of mayor was revived by the Raja of Bobbili government on 17 January 1933, by the City Municipal Act. The first mayor after its revival was the prominent Justice Party Leader, [[K. Sriramulu Naidu]] who was followed by [[Annamalai Chettiar|Raja Sir Annamalai Chettiar]].<ref name="showingtheway" />

=== Estates Land Act of 1933 ===

In August 1933, despite the vehement opposition of [[zamindar]]s in the Madras Presidency, the Raja of Bobbili passed an amendment to the Estates Land Act of 1908 which safeguarded the rights of the cultivators and freed them from the bondage of middlemen or ''inamdars''.<ref name="peoplesking" /> However, despite this legislation and a few others benefitting the cultivator, his regime was regarded as one which largely supported the interests of ''zamindars''.

=== 1934 Assembly elections ===

The term of the legislature expired on 5 November 1933. However, the elections to the Madras Legislative Council were delayed by a year. Meanwhile, the [[Indian National Congress]] had decided to participate in the elections at a meeting in [[Patna]] in May 1934 and hence, when the elections took place in November 1934, the Justice Party lost miserably.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp198">[[#Encyclopedia of Political Parties|Encyclopedia of Political Parties]], Pg 198</ref>{{full citation needed|date=April 2017}} However, the Raja of Bobbili adopted contingency measures by immediately convening a meeting and conducting negotiations between the different factions of the party. The Swarajya Party which won a majority in the Assembly once again refused to form the government in accordance with its policy of wrecking the dyarchy. So, the Raja of Bobbili was elected Chief Minister for a second term though he did not command the majority of the house.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

Justice Party stalwarts [[R. K. Shanmukham Chetty]] and [[Arcot Ramasamy Mudaliar]] had lost their seats as the chief whip of the party Muthiah Chettiar withdrew his support for their candidature. Ramakrishna Ranga Rao responded by dismissing Muthiah Chettiar as the leader of the party in the Assembly. Muthiah moved a no-confidence motion against the ministry but the motion was defeated. However, the differences between the Raja of Bobbili and Muthiah Chettiar was soon patched up and the Raja made the latter a minister in the cabinet.<ref name="nattukottai">Rudner, David West. Caste and Capitalism in Colonial India: The Nattukottai Chettiars. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994</ref>{{page needed|date=April 2017}}

=== Changes in the ministry ===

[[Kumaraswami Reddiar]] resigned his ministry post due to ill-health in 1936 and he was replaced with [[Muthiah Chettiar]] in a move to wipe out differences in the party.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp198" /> With the permission of the Governor, the Raja also created a new Ministry of Home in order to accommodate disgruntled factions in the party.<ref name="manikumarp184">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 184</ref> [[Mohammad Usman of Madras|Mohammad Usman]] served as the first Minister of Home followed by Sir [[A. T. Paneerselvam]].

=== Separation of Ganjam district ===

On 1 April 1936, the [[Ganjam district]] was separated from Madras Presidency and constituted in the newly created province of [[Orissa, India|Orissa]].

=== Policy during the Great Depression ===

The [[Great Depression]] struck the province at the fag end of [[P. Subbarayan]]'s tenure and lasted the whole span of the [[B. Munuswamy Naidu|Munuswamy Naidu]] and Bobbili governments. The policy of the Raja of Bobbili during the Depression was alleged to be one of the indifference to plight of the peasants and the poor. The government expressed its complete solidarity with the Governor and his executive council. As a result, while the Government endorsed the measures taken by the governor it did not criticize those that were detrimental to the common man. The ministry is alleged to have done little for the financial relief of the common man apart from making recommendations or expressing sympathy and grief. Moreover, the affluent lifestyle led by the ministers at the height of the Great Depression were sharply criticized. Madras ministers drew a salary of Rs.433 per month as opposed to Rs.225 per month that ministers in the [[Central Provinces]] received as salary.<ref name="manikumarp185">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 185</ref> This invoked the ire of the Madras press. The newspaper ''India'' wrote:

{{blockquote|Is not Rs.225 enough for Madras ministers, who were only second-rate ''vakils'' in the ''mufassal'' (rural areas)? When the poor are suffering for want of money, they are drawing fat salaries? What an injustice?<ref name="manikumarp185" />}}

In 1933, the Indian National Congress, represented by the Swarajya Party, brought forth a resolution demanding a decrease of 12.5% in land revenue in non-Zamindari areas. The Justice Party voted against the resolution. Angered by the stand of the Justice Party, the Congress declared that 26 November 1933 be observed as Land Revenue Reduction Day. Protests were organized all over the province. At a meeting organized on the Madras beach, Congress leader [[Sathyamurthy]] demanded that the land tax be reduced by 33.3 percent. These demands were backed by the peasants in the province.<ref name="manikumarp189">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 189</ref> However, these demands went unheeded. On the eve of the 1937 elections, the South Indian Federation of Peasants passed a resolution

{{blockquote|This federation resolves that in the coming Assembly elections the proper and class-wise course for peasants to follow is to vote for the Congress candidates in general and to utilize all their organizational and other resources to strengthen those Congress candidates who give their unequivocal assurance of support for implementing of the peasant's charter of minimum demands through their work both within and without the Legislatures.<ref name="manikumarp189" />}}

Individual Congressmen launched agitations for the abolition of ''zamindaris''. The Raja of Bobbili was against the movement as being a ''zamindar'' himself, he had pro-zamindar sympathies. He, therefore, considered it to be a law and order issue and order a crackdown leading to police firing in some areas.<ref name="manikumarp191">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 191</ref>

[[John Erskine, Lord Erskine|Lord Erskine]], the Governor of Madras wrote to the [[Secretary of State for India]], [[Lawrence Dundas, 2nd Marquess of Zetland|Lord Zetland]] in February 1937 that the peasants in [[South India]] were fed up with the Justice Party.<ref name="manikumarp187">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 187</ref>

=== Alleged abuse of authority ===

Bobbili's rule was autocratic and he was highly inaccessible to party members.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp151">[[#Encyclopedia of Political Parties|Encyclopedia of Political Parties]], Pg 151</ref> The success of every previous government in the Presidency had been due to the support of the district boards. However, the Raja of Bobbili, instead of appeasing the district-level politicians tried to destroy their power and influence.<ref name="localityp205">{{cite book|title=Locality, Province and Nation: Essays on Indian Politics 1870 to 1940|pages=205|first=John|last=Gallagher|author2=Gordon Johnson |author3=Anil Seal |publisher=CUP Archive|year=1973|isbn=0521098114|id=}}</ref>

The ''Suthanthira Sangu'', in its issue dated 26 February 1935:

{{blockquote|The Local Boards Act has been recently amended, taluk boards have been abolished, a district board has been bifurcated and attempts have been made to bifurcate other boards, which are hostile to him... He is superseding municipalities, which do not bow to his authority, removing chairmen not liked by him and trying to forfeit the liberty of these bodies by the appointment of Commissioners.<ref name="manikumarp187" />}}

The ''[[The Madras Mail|Madras Mail]]'' noted in its editorial dated 1 June 1935:

{{blockquote|if the Justice Party is really determined upon reorganisation, it should be one of its first proclamations that, so far as it is concerned the spoils system must go<ref name="manikumarp187" />}}

This, along with Bobbili's autocratic rule and factionalism within the party, had disastrous effects for the fortunes of the Justice party.<ref name="encyclopediaofpoliticalpartiesp151" />

== 1937 elections ==

The Justice Party contested the 1937 provincial assembly elections, the first according to the [[Government of India Act 1935]], under the Raja's leadership and lost badly, winning just 18 out of 215 assembly seats and 7 out of 46 council seats. The Raja, himself, lost his seat to [[Indian National Congress]] candidate [[V. V. Giri]] by over 6,000 votes, almost triggering the end of his political career. Other prominent losers in the election were [[P. T. Rajan]], Kumarraja of Venkatagiri and [[A. P. Patro]].<ref name="manikumarp197">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 197</ref> The Justice Party ceased to be a major force and remained so until it was revived by [[E. V. Ramasami]] during the [[1938 Madras Anti-Hindi agitations]]. The Raja led a much-weakened Justice Party until 1938, when he bowed out of politics.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

Meanwhile, the Justice Party's opponents the Indian National Congress had decided to contest the elections at a rally in 1935. It was at this rally that the [[Swarajya Party]] formally merged with the Indian National Congress when Congress resolved to participate in the elections. The united Indian National Congress led by [[Chakravarti Rajagopalachari]] captured power in the province and ruled until the declaration of war in 1939.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}

P. Rajaraman sums up the factors as follows "internal dissension, ineffective organization, inertia and lack of proper leadership led to the Justice Party along the path of decline".<ref name="manikumarp180">[[#Manikumar|Manikumar]], Pg 180</ref>

== Retirement from politics ==

Following the defeat of the Justice Party in the 1937 elections, the Raja's participation in politics drastically decreased until the anti-Hindi agitations, when E. V. Ramasami was elected President of the Justice Party. The Raja temporarily bowed out of politics and devoted himself to social service and other public activities.

In 1946, the Raja was elected to the [[Constituent Assembly of India]] and was part of the team which wrote [[India's Constitution]].<ref name="constituentassembly">{{cite web|title=Members of the Constituent Assembly of India|publisher=Parliament of India|url=http://parliamentofindia.nic.in/ls/debates/members.htm#MADRAS}}</ref> In 1948, following India's independence from British rule, Ramakrishna Ranga Rao lost his administrative rights over Bobbili and was reduced to the status of a titular "Raja" with some exclusive privileges.

== Other activities ==

The Raja was a great sportsman and his main interests were horse racing and polo. He had imported many fine breeds of horses from the United Kingdom, France and Pakistan. He had won a number of cups in horse racing. He was an expert polo player and often played in the Dasara sports at Mysore and Jeypore besides Bobbili.<ref name="peoplesking" />

He also contributed to [[Andhra University]] and [[Shantiniketan]].<ref name="peoplesking" /> The Raja served as the Chancellor of [[Andhra University]] in 1930.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}} The [[Rajah R.S.R.K.

== Later years and death ==
[[File:RSRK Ranga Rao 01.jpg|thumb|Statue of Ramakrishna Ranga Rao ( Rajah of Bobbili)]]
The Raja briefly returned to politics in his later years and contested as an independent from Bobbili assembly constituency in the 1967 elections to the [[Andhra Pradesh]] Legislative Assembly at the age of 66. He was subsequently elected by a margin of 28,561 votes over his nearest rival, L.
