Some Lesser Known Facts About Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy
Narasimha Reddy was the Governor in Military of Rayalaseema. He commanded 66 villages including Kadapa, Anantpur, Kurnool, etc.
After the British captured the area of Rayalaseema, Narasimha had refused to share the income produced from this area.
To defeat the British, he had backed military operations and to do so, he resorted to the proxy wars.
On 10 June 1846, he attacked the treasury of Koilkuntla and moved to Cumbum.
He revolted against the administration after killing a ranger, Rudraram. The district collector took the revolt seriously and ordered Watson (an officer) to arrest Narasimha Reddy. However, Watson failed to arrest Reddy and the British Government declared Rs. 5000 for a tip of Reddy and Rs. 10,000 for his head.
On 23 July 1846, he, along with his army, attacked the British Army in Giddalur and ran away. To arrest Narasimha Reddy, the British Army captured his family in Kadapa.
To get his family free, he moved to Nallamala Forest. When the British came to know that he was hidden in the forest, they strengthen their action around the forest due to which Narasimha Reddy came back to Koilkuntla.
When British officials came to know about the whereabouts of Narasimha Reddy, they besieged the area completely and on 6 October 1846, Narasimha Reddy was arrested at midnight.
After being arrested, he was beaten up hard and tied up with thick chains. Thereafter, he, worn in bloody clothes, was taken to streets of Koilkuntla so that nobody could dare to revolt against the British administration.
Apart from Narasimha Reddy, 901 people were accused of conspiring against the British. Later, 412 people were acquitted, 273 people were released on bail, and 112 people were culprits and faced life imprisonment.

After six weeks of his arrest, on 22 February 1847, he was hanged publicly in Koilkuntala at 7 a.m. About 2000 people gathered to see his hanging.
The forts made by him are still present at Uyyalawada, Rupanagudi, Veldurthi, and Giddalur.
