Pingali Venkayya – The Forgotten Hero

There was a freedom fighter named Pingali

Who was a fellow quite jolly

He worshipped the 'Mahatma'

And designed the 'Tiranga.'

He was an educationist

And hailed from Krishna district

A doctorate in geology

Who died in poverty.

The National flag is a symbol of pride

And is respected nationwide

He was known for his wisdom and piety

A hero, who is forgotten by society.
