Palanati Brahmanaidu
Palanati Brahmanaidu (flourished in the 12th century AD); real name: Seelam Brahma Naidu, was the minister in a small Andhra kingdom of Palnadu (part of present Guntur district). He was responsible for the administration of Palnadu ruled by Haihaya Chief Nalagama. He tried to usher in a new era in which caste distinctions would be abolished. Differences in ideology and court conspiracies led to Brahma Naidu leaving with his supporters, from the court of Gurajala ruled by Nalagamaraju. Nalagama's half brother Malideva established a domain with the support of Brahmanaidu at Macherla.
He is said to have adopted a son, a brave warrior called Kannama, a Mala by caste, as he was childless for a long time.
