Career
Ilamma took the red flag against the anarchy of Deshmukh and Razakar in Visnur between 1940 and 1944.[4]
She joined the Andhra Mahasabha as well as the Communist Party of India.[9] She worked actively against the Nizam government and her house was the center for activities conducted against the feudal land lords who collaborated with the Nizam.
