Veteran Actor Kota Srinivasa Rao Passes Away

Hyderabad, July 13, 2025 – Renowned veteran actor Kota Srinivasa Rao passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 83, following a prolonged illness. He breathed his last at his residence in Filmnagar, Hyderabad, after battling age-related health complications over the past few weeks.

Kota Srinivasa Rao was a towering figure in Indian cinema, particularly in the Telugu film industry. With a career spanning more than four decades, he acted in over 750 films across Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada languages. Known for his distinctive voice, commanding screen presence, and mastery over dialects, Kota seamlessly portrayed a wide range of roles, from villains and comedians to strong supporting characters.

Born on July 10, 1942, in Kanakipadu, Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, Kota began his journey as a stage actor before making his film debut in 1978 with Pranam Khareedu, which also starred a young Chiranjeevi. Initially known for character and comic roles, he rose to prominence as a formidable villain with the 1985 film Pratighatana. His performance was widely appreciated, and he was soon recognized as an actor who redefined the antagonist role in Telugu cinema.

Some of his most memorable films include:

  • Aha! Naa Pellanta
  • Yamudiki Mogudu
  • Khaidi No. 786
  • Shiva
  • Bobbili Raja
  • Yamaleela
  • Santosham
  • Bommarillu
  • Athadu
  • Race Gurram

Kota was also known for his successful on-screen partnership with comedian Babu Mohan. The duo featured together in about 60 films, and their combination was often seen as a guarantee of box office success in the 1990s.

Beyond cinema, Kota had a brief but impactful political career. He served as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Vijayawada East constituency representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from 1999 to 2004.

In recognition of his immense contribution to Indian cinema, he was awarded the Padma Shri in 2015, along with several Nandi Awards from the Government of Andhra Pradesh.

Tragedy struck his personal life in 2010 when his only son, Kota Venkata Anjaneya Prasad, died in a road accident in Hyderabad. He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

News of his passing has triggered an outpouring of grief from the film fraternity, political leaders, and fans across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Tributes continue to pour in, celebrating his illustrious career and unmatched legacy in Indian cinema.

Kota Srinivasa Rao will forever be remembered as a versatile performer, a master of dialogue delivery, and a pillar of South Indian cinema.

May his soul rest in peace.

Bringing Colour Back to Cotton: Ramanadham Ramesh’s Revival Journey

Cotton is the most versatile and widely used fiber in textiles. Bharatavani has introduced cotton to the world. India is the largest exporters of handlooms to the world. We were exporting finest muslins of different shades to the globe till the advent of industrialisation. Most of the fabrics were naturally dyed using our traditional dyeing methods and a specific small portion of it was naturally coloured cotton, where in the cotton fibere attaines colour naturally by birth from the plant only. We had several naturally coloured cottons that ruled the market earlier. Unfortunately we lost ground over the last century. Inspite of that the naturally coloured RED cotton sustained for a very long duration, but now even that is losing ground quickly. Gollaprolu Red cotton and Konda Patti from srikakulam area are well known red cotton varieties struggling to sustain their stand in present world as the versatile definition of KHADI has changed. Center of this shift is Ramanadham Ramesh, a craft revivalist and eco-conscious farmer from Hyderabad, who is bringing indigenous coloured cotton back into the spotlight.

Ramesh cultivates 12 varieties of native Indian cotton. Unlike genetically modified hybrid cotton, desi (indigenous) cotton varieties are resilient, require less water, and do not need heavy chemical fertilizers or pesticides. They are naturally pest-resistant to a greater extent and better suited for organic farming. He has RED – 8 varieties, GREEN – in stabilising process and YELLOW – Preemptive stage. He says there are many other shades available, but he is not holding at present.

His efforts go beyond farming. Ramesh is actively promoting the traditional and sustainable desi cotton wicks for oil lamps to making hand-spun yarn for a healthy living. he demonstrates how every part of the cotton plant can be valuable.

To revive this traditional crop, Ramesh distributes native cotton seeds to interested farmers and provides them with the knowledge to grow these crops organically in a mixed cultivation method. His mission is not just agricultural—it’s cultural and ecological. He believes that reviving desi colourd cotton can give required impetus to the dwindling village-based traditional hand spun, hand woven khadi industries, create employment, and encourage eco-friendly lifestyles.

His work has gained attention for showing how traditional practices can align with modern sustainability goals in the present day requirement of minimalist eco conscious lifestyle. With increased awareness and support, desi cotton could play a major role in reducing environmental impact while uplifting rural economies.

The 72nd Miss World pageant commenced with a spectacular opening ceremony at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium in Hyderabad on May 10, 2025. The event, attended by dignitaries and contestants from over 110 countries, celebrated cultural diversity and global unity.

Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, along with Miss World CEO Julia Morley, officially inaugurated the event. The ceremony featured a tribute to Indian soldiers and a rendition of the national anthem, setting a patriotic tone.

The evening showcased a vibrant cultural parade, with participants from Latin America, Africa, and Asia displaying traditional attire and performances. Traditional tribal dances from Telangana, including Gussadi and Kommu Koya, captivated the audience.

A highlight was the parade of contestants bearing their national flags, culminating with Miss India Nandini Gupta waving the Indian tricolor, symbolizing national pride.

Operation Sindoor

24 Strikes in 25 Minutes: India Rains Hell on Terror Camps in Precision Operation Sindoor

New Delhi:
In the early hours of May 7, under the veil of darkness and the cloak of secrecy, India launched a blistering 25-minute assault that left nine terror camps decimated and at least 70 terrorists dead. The operation—codenamed Operation Sindoor—was jointly executed by the Indian Army and the Air Force, targeting strategic militant infrastructure across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoJK).

The strikes, conducted between 1:05 AM and 1:30 AM, involved the precise deployment of 24 missiles and marked one of the most significant counter-terror offensives in recent years.

A Calculated Response

At a press briefing in New Delhi, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, accompanied by Colonel Sophia Qureshi and Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, outlined the rationale behind the operation. The strike was described as a “measured and proportionate” response to the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, including that of a Nepali citizen.

“Our intelligence indicated that further attacks against India were impending,” said Misri. “India exercised its right to respond — measured, proportionate, and non-escalatory — to dismantle the infrastructure that enables cross-border terrorism.”

Colonel Qureshi emphasized that the operation reflected a strategic shift in India’s counter-terrorism doctrine.

“For three decades, Pakistan has been nurturing a shadow ecosystem of terror. This operation was intended to disrupt that network at its roots,” she stated.

Targets and Execution

The operation struck nine high-value terror hubs located in:

  • Pakistan-occupied Kashmir: Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawalakot, Bhimber, Neelum Valley
  • Mainland Pakistan: Bahawalpur, Jhelum, Chakswari, Chakwal

These areas are long believed to house training camps, command posts, and launch pads used by terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) — both implicated in previous attacks on Indian soil.

The Bahawalpur strike was especially significant, as it targeted a known JeM headquarters. Muzaffarabad and Bhimber were reportedly used as infiltration and logistical nodes.

Firepower and Precision

Armed with a mix of ground-launched and air-launched missiles, India employed laser-guided and satellite-navigated munitions to ensure maximum precision with minimum collateral damage. Real-time UAV surveillance confirmed complete destruction of multiple targets, including:

  • Command centers
  • Arms depots
  • Training facilities
  • Terrorist staging grounds

A government source noted that no Pakistani military assets were targeted, underscoring the “non-escalatory” nature of the mission.

Aftermath and Impact

With 70 terrorists killed and more than 60 injured, Operation Sindoor has sent a strong message about India’s threshold for cross-border terrorism. Analysts say the operation reaffirms India’s growing reliance on intelligence-led, surgical tactics rather than prolonged engagement.

While Pakistan is yet to issue an official response, diplomatic channels are reportedly active. India’s External Affairs Ministry has briefed key global partners about the nature and necessity of the strikes.

Operation Sindoor stands as a stark reminder: terror has a cost, and India now has both the capability and the will to enforce it — swiftly, precisely, and unapologetically.
