Bhamidipati Kameswara Rao (1897-1958) was an Indian writer in the Telugu language, known for his humorous plays. He was inspired by French writer Moliere, whose plays he adapted into Telugu. Bhamidipati became a trend setter in the field of humour play writing.〔(The Hindu : Friday Review Hyderabad / Drama : A tribute to a genius )〕 Bhamidipati not only translated some English farces into Telugu but also wrote original ''prahasana''s (farces) in Telugu. His prahasanas are considered to be the best of type even today. == Early life == Bhamidipati’s father Narsavadhanulu was a Vedic scholar, but Bhamidipati developed love for literature at young age. In that era many theatre organisations competed for awards in Parishat competitions in verse drama. Bhamidipati, belonging to a poor family was one of the Parishat’s beneficiaries. That helped him to get through his graduation. “Drama stood by me and hence I shall do something for drama” was his motto and he began writing plays especially for students. Though he joined the government service, economic and family conditions forced him to take up a job as teacher at Rajahmundry. Bhamidipati did his M.A in Mathematics and retired as head master of Veeresalingam High School, Rajuhmundry.〔 He was in the company of great scholars, including legendary literary figures like Madhunapantula Satyanarayana, Chilakamarthi Lakshmi Narasimham, Sripada Krishnamurthy Sastry and Kasi Krishnamacharyulu. But the influence of Raghupathi Venkataratnam Naidu was more. Yet, Bhamidipati was a great fan of English plays and literature. His professor Cooldre’s observation that ‘poetry and music were not different’ made Bhamidipati sit and think. He began researching into various works that resulted in his writing of Andhra Padyanataka Pathanam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhamidipati Kameswara Rao」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
