He undertook three fasts, during 1946-1948, in support of Dalit (an oppressed Hindu caste then referred to by Gandhi and his supporters by the contentious, though well-intentioned, term Harijan) rights to enter holy places, such as the temples of Nellore.

He fasted in support of Dalit entry rights to the Venu Gopala Swamy Temple in Moolapeta, Nellore, rights which were eventually secured He became famous for undertaking a hunger strike in support of the formation of an Indian state for the Telugu-speaking population of Madras Presidency; he lost his life in the process.

His death sparked public rioting and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru declared the intent by the newlyliberated nation to form Andhra State. On 1 October 1953, the Telugu speaking Andhra State was established with its capital in Kurnool, three days following the death of Sreeramulu.
