Late Dukkipati Nageswara Rao was a great freedom fighter who fought against the
British rule for India's freedom struggle. He was a humble, down to earth,
passionate, and above all a very courageous individual who saw India gaining her
Independence by resorting to non violence, civil disobedience, and non cooperation
methods. I am his eldest grandson and am proud of it. Though he is no more, he
continues to be a great role model for all of us to walk in his footsteps.

The group of demonstrators refused to move along, as the police
instructed them. They were committed to their cause, and no amount of
threat or coercion was going to sway them. They were standing up for
what they believed in. Though many went off to prison, none
complained, for they knew they had done what was pleasing to God. By
His grace, they had no cause to fear. The brief meeting in which
Mahatma Gandhi spoke was attended by thousands of workers and
Dukkipati Nageswara Rao was one of them. Most importantly he felt that
he had achieved his valuable and precious moments of truth. Life’s
most wonderful meeting happened, which he had longed for, when he
actually received a chance to meet him personally in Peyyeru. Those few
minutes of the meeting with Mahatma Gandhi were enough to help him
reorganize himself during the independence struggle. In a much more
planned and determined way it gave an impetus to fight the British rule
with the Non-cooperation and Civil Disobedience movements. Putting

forth a great deal of effort is much easier when we can feel we've
accomplished something. There is a basic instinct within each of us that
likes praise and reward. We need to feel that we are noticed
when we do what is good and right. The Lord sees all that we do, and His
pleasure is ever with us. His abundant blessings come to all who truly
love Him and pursue Him with all their heart, mind, and soul.
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the
hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

In his autobiography, Gandhi explains the Satyagraha:
Before a person may dedicate himself to peaceful disobedience, he must first agree
to and respect state law. We usually obey to laws out of fear of punishment; ...A
Satyagrahi obeys the laws of the land out of the strength of his vision and because
he regards it as being his spiritual responsibility.
Nevertheless, he recognised other religions and was especially enthusiastic about
the 'Sermon on the Mount' as it accorded with his own motto to confront evil only
with good. Again and again he compared his concept of Satyagraha with the
principles of the 'Sermon on the Mount' in order to explain it more easily.
“But we have learned three things through all of this. We learned not to fear, not to
hate and not to harm!”
Late Dukkipati Nageswara Rao sacrificed his life for the freedom of India. He
was a strong advocate of secularism and his role for strengthening and maintaining
secular character of Indian National Congress would be remembered for long.
