History Unexplored - Sardar Velappanaidu’s Role in Freedom Struggle

India is a vast country with a diverse range of customs and cultures. The construction of India’s history involves a substantial amount of regional history. Even though India has now celebrated 75 years of independence, Azadi Ka Amit Mahotsav, the younger generation is still unaware of the local freedom fighters who also played a crucial role in setting India free. Therefore, it is essential to review, restore, and document the part played by every Indian region during various stages of the freedom movement, as well as to inspire the next generation with a new zeal and passion and to reconstruct an extensive history. In an attempt to trace the freedom fighters of our region, we the researchers were able to identify the lesser-known freedom fighter Vellapa Naidu of Guruvappanayakkanur, in Udumalpet Taluk. An attempt is made to bring into the limelight the invaluable contribution of Vellapa Naidu towards national Independence. In the present work, a sincere effort has been made to portray the instrumental role of Vellapa Naidu in propagating Gandhian principles and strengthening the freedom struggle from its regional and local perspectives.
