Comrade P.Sundarayya, former General Secretary of the Communist Party of India(Marxist), former M.P. and one of the founders of the Communist movement in the country passed away 26years back in 1985 on this day, 19th May. He was the foremost leader of the Telengana Movement which gave freedom to thousands of villages from the rule of the Nizam and Razakkars. His simplicity, wide learning and committment to the cause are well known. On his 26th death anniversary, I pay my respectful homage to the great revolutionary.
