He was an orthodox, yet discreet, Vaishnava devotee and an erudite scholar of Indian Puranas, with proficiency in Telugu, Sanskrit, and Tamil.

Dasarathi completed his matriculation at the Khammam Government High School but left higher education to participate in the movement against the autocratic Nizam rule in the Hyderabad Kingdom.

Influenced by Mahatma Gandhi and Kandukuri Veeresalingam, he aligned himself with the political left, as many of his friends were leftists and communist revolutionaries.

His revolutionary poetry, influenced by the communist ideology of Karl Marx, often focused on the downtrodden, the poor, and the exploited workers.

At this juncture, the Indian National Congress, led by Swamy Raamaanandateerdha, called for action against the Nizam's autocratic rule, prompting thousands to participate in Satyagraha (civil disobedience).

In 1948, the Indian Union took control of Hyderabad State through police action, ending the autocratic Nizam rule and the violence perpetrated by the Razakars and the Mazlis Ittehadul Muslimeen Party.

His first book, Agnidhara (Flowing Fire), was published in 1947 and focused on the Telangana Armed Struggle against Nizam's rule, which he had experienced as a revolutionary.
