Sarvaipet of sardar pappanna village

Sarvaipet the hamlet of Akunuru village in Saidapur Mandal was known for a famous leader named Sarvaipapadu alias Sardar Papanna or Sardar Paparayudu, who denied the authority of the Qutub-Shahis and Mughals and fought against

them for three decades from A.D.1680-1710.

This village is about 10kms from Saidapur near Huzurabad. Sarvai Papanna was born at Pulagam, which is identified as Jangoan in Warangal district by Prof. Pervaram Jagannatham, the former Vice-Chancellor of Telugu university. There is also an argument that he hails from Jaggayyapet in Krishna district, where from he came to Shahpuram in Warangal district. As Papanna built a Qila or fort at Shahpuram, it is now known as Qilashahpuram.

He came to the rescue of the poor people and formed a strong army to fight against the Zamindars and the officers of the Muslim rulers. Very soon a simple common man Papanna became Sardar Papanna and built forts at Thatikonda, Shahpuram and Sarvaipeta.

The name of Papanna’s mother was Sarvamma and he is called after her name as Sarvai Papanna, who established thisvillage after his mother’s name as Sarvaipet. The fort and Siva temple built by him at this village are in a ruined condition.

When Aurangzeb died in A.D.1707 Shah Alam Bahadur Shah (A.D.1707-1712) became Mughal Emperor, who sent Yusuf Khan Ruzbihan to capture Papanna or Papra who was found in the forest near Husnabad in this district and was executed at the command of the Mughal officer.

This Papra is believed to be none other than Paparayadu whose name probably is mentionedas Papra in Urdu records. In honour of Sardar Sarvai Paparayadu his bronze statue is erected recently at Qila Shahpuram in Warangal district. His Trisati Jayanti or the third centennial birthday was celebrated by Telugu university under the supervision of Acharya Pervaram Jagannatham, the then vicechancellor.

HUZURABD Huzurabad town, the headquarters of a mandal is about 40kms to the south-east of Karimnagar and lies on the highway leading to Hanumakonda. Uppal and Jammikunta are the two nearest railway stations about 10 and 13 kms respectively on the Kazipet-Balharshah line. The headquarters of the taluk was shifted from Jammikunta to Huzurabad in A.D.1913, when probably the old Yedulapuram village might have been renamed as Huzurabad after the Nizam of Hyderabad, who was also called as Huzur or the king. It continued to be the headquarters of a taluk until the mandal set up was introduced in 1984. Now Huzurabad is administered by a major Grampanchayat. The place is noted for its weekly cattle fair.
