Emerged as a leading face of the Telangana peasant revolt against feudal doras under the Nizam. Her stand to farm her own fields refusing arbitrary levies from zamindar Visnoor Ramachandra Reddy sparked village-level organising, especially among women.  Active with the Andhra Mahasabha and the Communist Party, she confronted Deshmukhs and Razakars, with her home doubling as a hub for resistance. 

She died in 1985, but endures as Telangana’s emblem of anti-caste, anti-feudal courage and the right to land and dignity.
