Amazing story of Ramineni family as told by Narayana Rao.

Sri.Ramineni Sampath is an ex-M.P.T.C. and active member of the yellapu community. I introduced to him during the caste meeting held at yellapu sangha bhavanam, vaninagar, saidabad, Hyderabad on 02-11-2014.on next day he happened to come to my home.As usual ,I enquired his family story. .He was unable explain in full but he fecilitated to speak to his paternal uncle Sri.Narayana Rao.He  explained the amazing story of their family. It is the story revealing the intelligence and benovalence. This wonderful story would have been lost, if not brought in to the written form.I whole heartedly thank both Ramineni Sampath Rao and Ramineni Narayan Rao for providing information.

The gotra of Ramineni family is Raginuru gotram . Balakistaiah is the first wathandar.He got 7 villages as Maqta from the Nizam.Nizam use to camp for 10 days in a year at Rampur in parakal Taluq in Warangal district. At that time Sri.Balkistaiah has offered goats, sheeps, grains, etc. to Nizam as Nazarana.Being felt happy for the services rendered, His Highness Nizam has granted 7 villages namely Mutharam, Rudraram, Edlapally, Kondampeta, Kesarapupalle and 2 other hamlets as Maqta. They ruled the people with benovalence.

Before the implementation of land seiling act, they have given 500 Acres of land in Edlapally and 150 Acres in Rudraram as Inam to poor people of deprived classes. This is an amazing act of Benovalence. There is no end to their benovalence till the recent times.He said that that is the reason for the sympathy on their family.

They got dugged two tanks namely Oora cheruvu and Edlapally cheruvu.Earlier, people use to face alot of trouble for irrigation and drinking water prior to establishment of the two tanks.Till 1955, the tanks were under the custody of the Ramineni families and later handedover to the PWD department.

They also got dugged two wells for drinking water purpose for humans and animals as well.One well is dugged near the house of Sri.Ramineni Venkateshwar Rao and another at Sri.Ramineni Rajeshwar Rao. The provision is also made to facilitate the animals to drink water properly by constructing small water tanks.

They constructed a Hanuman temple in their land.They also constructed a School in their land, where a primary school was running and upgraded as Upper primary school in the recent past.

In the recent years , Ramineni families also donated 2 guntas land for construction of mineral water plant.

In olden days, Ramineni families use to distribute the food grains to the people and relatives as well .They also enjoyed the high status.To travel, they used the pallaki.

The prevalent systems of yellapus namely parada was in vogue in Ramineni families. The swords then used are also found now in their houses. These people and their relatives were also fond of hunting.It was told that their relatives use to stay in their building for not less than a month.They used to earmark special Dasis(workers) to the relatives stayed in their building.

Subsequently, the benovalence of these families led to political upsurge upto mandal level . Sri.Ramineni Satyanarayana Rao was continuously surpunch for 35 years for Rudraram village. Sri.Ramineni Sampath Rao was elected as M.P.T.C. Earlier, Sri.Ramineni Bhasker Rao was the first M.P.T.C of the manthani.

It was also told that Sri.Ramineni Satyanarayana Rao has supported Sri.P.V.Narsimha Rao for being elected as M.L.A from manthani constituency. Also they served Sri.Sripada Rao in similar way in same constituency.

The painful incidents in the history of these families is that Rajakars attacked their wathan.These people have to be in Manthani for 10 to 12 years.Thrice they were also attacked by the Naxlites.Still these people enjoy the sympathy from the people for their benovalence. Such stories of Maqtas has to be collected before they disappear.
