Starting from humble beginnings he emerged as a revered leader, fought against the mighty British war forces and successfully lead the tribesmen of Andhra Pradesh with nothing more than traditional war weaponry of mere bows and arrows until he himself surrendered himself to the British and was executed by them who could never take him from front. Like all our revered freedom fighters he sacrificed his life for what he believed in and like all of them left behind a legacy that outlived everything the British has ever accomplished in India through 400 years of exploitation.
GODAVARI AND VISHAKAPATNAM BOY.
Alluri Sita Rama Raju was born on 4th of July 1897 (the same year subhash Chandra bose was born) in a village called Mogallu in Bhimavaram taluka of West Godavari district to Sri. Venkata Rama Raju and Suryanarayanamma. His mother was from Visakhapatnam and his father who worked as official photographer in the central jail at Rajahmundry was a native of Mogallu, hence, Raju spent majority of his early life in Mogallu.
HE CHANGED HIS NAME AS TRIBUTE TO HIS LOVE. The name his parents gave him was Rama Chandra Raju. He was in love with a girl named site during his teens and changed his name to Sita Rama Raju as a tribute to her after learning about her demise.

AT THE AGE WE PLAYED PLAYED VIDEO GAMES HE ALREADY MADE HIS FIRST POLITICAL CONTACTS.At the age of 10, Raju was heavily influenced by freedom struggle and began studying politics. After the death of his father Fearing the path he was taking with his life his maternal uncle shifted him to their mother’s place at Vishakhapatnam in the name of his studies not knowing that this would change the course of his life. He enrolled at Mrs. A.V.N. College and got his political contact with Sri Madduri Annapurnayya, a great freedom-fighter, and Rallapalli Atchuta Ramayya, a great scholar and started being politically active there when he was 15.
THE INSPIRING LEADER.
He came back to Vijayanagaram and started inspiring the tribals to join him in the freedom fight and proposed the concept of guerrilla warfare and trained them for war for the next year and half.
HE STOLE THE WEAPONS FROM THE POLICE STATION.Soon he built an army with the tribal people and surprised the British government with his first attack on Chintapalli Police Station on the eve of 22-8-1922. Which was followed by Krishnadevi peta Police Station on 23rd, and Rajavommangi police station on on 24th and captured a good number of guns, bayonets and cartridges and swords. He set free the revolutionary, Veerayya Dora from jail. The British Army got alerted and platoons of Police and Army were sent to capture Sitarama Raju.
HIS APPROACH OF REVOLT WAS SAME TO THAT OF SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE’S. For the next two years Raju terrorized the British Empire like his North Indian counterpart Netaji Subash Chandra Bose who believed that only an armed struggle could bring freedom to Indian people who were subjected to centuries of slavery. He was acclaimed as a master strategist and always surprised his enemies with his faultless planning.
HE WAS MULTI LINGUAL AND MULTI TALENTED. He was proficient in Hindi, English & sanskrit . He studied Vedas, Philosophy , politics, Ayurveda and the art of war. He trained the tribal soldiers to use Ayurveda to treat their wounds.
HE DIDN’T JUST CREATE AN ARMY, HE A CREATED CARNAGE. At Peddavalassa battle of April of 1924 Raju’s troops attacked the British Army and suffered heavy casualties and saw their first loss. Despite having all the modern weaponry of their time the British lost 1800 out of their 2000 soldiers while Rama raju’s troops who were fighting mostly with bow & arrows suffered a loss of 180 from his 600 brave warriors.
