Portrait in India ink by V.N. O'key

A versatile writer in Telugu, Gurajada Appa Rao used all forms of literature like drama, novel, poetry, short story and essay with equal facility. He unreservedly assimilated in his own culture and language the rich heritage of western classics and produced a refreshing synthesis with new cultural overtones.
