Anantapur History

Anantapur offers some vivid glimpses of the prehistoric past. It is generally held that the place got its name from 'Anaatasagaram' , a big tank, which means "Endless Ocean". The villages of Anaantasagaram and Bukkarayasamudram were constructed by Chilkkavodeya, the minister of Bukka-I, a Vijayanagar ruler. Some authorities assert that Anaantasagaram was named after Bukka's queen, while some contend that it must have been known after Anantarasa Chikkavodeya himself, as Bukka had no queen by that name.
Anantapur is familiarly known as "Hande Anantapuram" . ' Hande ' means chief of the Vijayanagar period. Anantapur and a few other places were gifted by the Vijayanagar rulers to Hanumappa Naidu of the Hande family.
The place subsequently came under the Qutub Shahis, Mughals, and the Nawabs of Cuddapah, although the Hande chiefs continued to rule as their subordinates. It was occupied by the Palergar of Bellary during the time of Ramappa but was eventually won back by his son, Siddappa. Morari Rao Ghorpade attacked Anantapur in 1757. Though the army resisted for some time, Siddappa ultimately bought off the enemy for Rs.50,000.
It then came into the possession of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. Tipu hanged all the male members of the Siddappa family except Siddappa who escaped from his confinement at Srirangapatnam. After Tipu's death, it was once again taken back by Siddappa. Siddappa submitted himself to Nizam because of the treaty of 1799, who took the total control of the area. He was later pensioned off when British occupied the territory

Family's brain wash for Young Hero

 



Family's brain wash for Young Hero
Young heroes go rushing madly about any thing that hurdles or at least bothers them. The boiling blood knows no rules before making comments, while their families tend to protect them from loosing the edge.

Same thing happened the other day with macho young man Rana. The heir of an acting family and producing legend has come bitterly on Telugu media websites. With such one-sided statements Rana is digging his own grave by tickling media on the wrong side, says a critic. Even same kind of brain-wash is said to be done by his father and ace producer Suresh Babu. A scooping bird revealed that Suresh Babu came down heavily on Rana for attacking media (especially websites) directly. Even though there were many rumors on Ramanaidu, Suresh Babu and even Venkatesh, the Daggubati's never made any comment on the press. Many well-wishers also advised Rana not to vent out his anger publicly as it is not going to help him any ways. On the other hand, website people are saying that 'gossips' are not something that is created in 'air', but they are the findings of some careful observations.
