After passing Matriculation, Sankaraiah started studying History from American College, Madurai in 1937. He was one of the founders of Madras Students organization and was elected Secretary of Madurai Students Union. During this time he started participating in the freedom struggle of India. He was first arrested in 1941 when he was a final year student of the American college, Madurai. His long political career spanning over seven decades included nearly eight years in jail. Sankaraiah, who was one among the many communists who were released just a day before India attained Independence in August 1947, campaigned for communist candidates in the first general elections.[1] He was one of the 32 National Council members who walked out from a Communist Party of India National Council meeting held on 11 April 1964, in protest, accusing Party Chairman S.A. Dange and his followers of "anti-unity and anti-Communist policies".[2]
