According to Wikipedia, Biruduraju Ramaraju was an Indian writer, scholar and professor best known for his study of Telugu-language folklore. Life and career Ramaraju was born in a family of wealthy zamindars in a remote village named Devunuru located in present-day Telangana, India on 16 April 1925. He was able to complete his primary education in the village, but had to walk 14 km to Madikonda, near Hanamkonda and now a part of the district centre of Warangal, for his secondary schooling. During the 1940s, Ramaraju got involved in politics, dabbling in the Arya Samaj and the Andhra Mahasabha as well as participating in the Indian independence movement, culminating in his imprisonment for three months in 1947 for his participation in one of Gandhi's satyagrahas. Although he wished to attend the London School of Economics, his father's death later that year meant he had to stay home and take care of his family instead, but he was still determined to study his academic interests and decided to complete his higher education in-state.
