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

Jr NTR's Behaviour With CBN Becoming Comedy


 



It is known news that Junior NTR’s wedding was fixed by Chandrababu Naidu. As a result, junior has amassed few hundreds of crores in his property. But from the time of wedding, Junior has been reducing the importance to Naidu and his recent absence at Mahanadu has become the topic of discussion among TDP circles and fans.

Sources close to NTR are trying to cover by saying that he respects his father Harikrishna and keeping in mind the differences between Naidu and Harikrishna, he is keeping the distance. However, Junior’s behaviour has been deemed as wrong by other sources.

Junior paying his respects to N T Rama Rao on birth anniversary at NTR Ghat but citing the Mahanadu absence reason as busy with shooting, stating he would be there confirmed for next year Mahanadu is evoking laughing comments from many.
