Gadiyaram Ramakrishna Sarma (6 March 1919 - 25 July 2006) was a Telugu writer, Sanskrit scholar, researcher, reformist and historian.
[1] Sarma won the Kendra Sahitya Academy Award in Telugu for the Year 2007 for his autobiography: Satapatram ("A Hundred Petals").
[1][2] In his Hundred Petals, Sarma devoted very little space to write about himself but penned what he had seen during his nine-decade-long life.
His autobiography emerged as an authentic work on contemporary social, political and cultural conditions.
Sarma presented his Hundred Petals to his wife Kammalamma with a word of praise for her patience.
