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

Telugu Heroine's Recording Dance

Telugu Heroine's Recording Dance
She is with a biggest TV group of Andhra Pradesh when she entered the industry. Holding master degrees, she has entered films with a bang through a small film that rocked Tollywood. Afterwards she is seen twinkling here and there and finally ended up in Marriage parties. Here is the story.

We are talking about Madhavi Latha, the cute girl who has won critical acclaim with her performance in Ravibabu's 'Nachavule'. Afterwards, she tried to show more of her skin but went into oblivion. The other day, the actress was caught dancing in ecstasy at a 'sangeeth' function of a big-shot's son’s marriage. When inquired, it is found that she is invited by paying money to shake her leg at the event. Most of the time, her moves looked like a 'recording dance' often performed in our interior villages. Clearly it is not known whether Madhavi Latha is doing such stuff only for money or for fun. Certainly, we can say that another hot and beautiful heroine is wasted. Let us hope she will be back on track very soon.
