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

I was shocked: Ram Charan



I was shocked: Ram Charan

Chiranjeevi statement to quit films forever for his goal to become CM has not only shocked Film Industry and Political Circles, but his son Ram Charan too couldn't believe it.

"like many other i was shocked to hear dad decided not to act any more and dedicate his life to serving people...not able to sleep over this," tweeted Ram Charan.

Allu Sirish, who wants the matinee idol to entertain fans, is also upset with Chiru's decision.

"I'm surprised & sad abt Megastar's statement not to act. As a hardcore fan I wish he does few more films! Wish he reconsiders this decision," tweeted Allu Sirish.

Meanwhile, Controversial filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has reacted to Chiru's comments in his style.

RGV tweeted to Ram Charan "@Alwayscharan ur dads far far superior 2 all the ppl he wants 2 serve nd why he wants 2 serve ppl who's inferior to him cmpletley beats me"

"Chiranjeevi is a phenomenon nd the people of Andhra pradesh are not nd they proved that by not making him a chief minister. But I anyday want to see the people of AP queeing up for chiranjeevis tickets rather than chiranjeevi queeing up for the fuckers votes. If ppl of AP don't make chiranjeevi CM its their bad luck nd if such ppl don't vote for him its his good luck," tweeted RGV.
