Jayaraj, 60, who hailed from Mahabubabad district, overcame many hardships from his childhood and rose to fame as a poet. Coming from a poor Dalit family, Jayaraj created his literature for an egalitarian society without discrimination. His literary works have been thoroughly influenced by Buddha’s teachings and inspired by Ambedkar’s writings. As a popular poet, he ignited the ideology of the Telangana cultural movement among the people by roaming from village to village during the days of the fight for Statehood.
He has written several songs depicting the magnificence of nature stressing the importance of the protection of the environment. He has also sensitively analyzed the inextricable relationship between man and nature through his literature, with many of his books being immensely popular.
