August 7, 2023

Born into a humble Dalit family in Toopran of Medak district, his melodious incantations echoed the spirit of the Telangana movement, inspiring millions to unite in the struggle for statehood. The hospital reported that he died at 3 pm due to lung and urinary problems, compounded by his advanced age. Gaddar was admitted to the hospital on July 20 and underwent a heart bypass surgery on August 3.
