Dukkipati Nageswara Rao was an Indian independence movement activist from Krishna District. Rao was sent to prison many times. He also met Mahatma Gandhi in his home town Peyyeru about 15 miles from his village Nandamuru during the Quit India Movement in 1942. The Government of Andhra Pradesh posthumously wanted to give him five acres of land and a Tamra Patra (Certificate) which was given in accordance with the struggle that he fought for the freedom against the British. But my grandmother Late Dukkipati Savitriamma humbly declined the offer. She used to remind us that my grandfather Dukkipati Nageswara Rao fought against the British for a free India struggle and not for any monetary compensation. Apart from serving in several prisons in Andhra Pradesh he also had the privilege of meeting Late Sarvepalli Radhakrishna during the independence struggle. He was also in many noteworthy prisons like Bellary Jail and Vellore prisons during the freedom struggle.
