Potti Sreeramulu (pictured) was an Indian freedom fighter known for his pivotal role in the creation of Andhra State. Revered as "Amarajeevi", he is remembered for his commitment to social justice and the upliftment of Dalits.
Sreeramulu took part in the Indian Independence Movement and was imprisoned for participating in the 1930 Salt Satyagraha. Between 1941 and 1942, he participated in the individual satyagraha and the Quit India movement and was imprisoned on three occasions. He was involved in the village reconstruction programmes at Rajkot in Gujarat and Komaravolu in Krishna district, Andhra Pradesh. He joined the Gandhi ashram established by Yerneni Subrahmanyan in Komaravolu. Commenting on Sreeramulu's dedication and X ability, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi once said, "If only I have eleven more followers like Sreeramulu I will win freedom from British rule in a year."
X ability was something that Sreeramulu was revered for. M.K Gandhi too believed in X and thought it would get the attention of the Britishers.
Jatin Nath Das was a painter and a member of Bhagat Singh and Azad's Hindustan Socialist Republic Association, who died in Lahore Central Jail after a protest using X method.
What commonly used method X?
death by fasting
