Kailasam was a school teacher by profession. In the early 1960s, Kailasam and his colleague Satyanarayan, began to organise tribal peasants in the Srikakulam area. State authorities began to register criminal cases against the two, and they decided to go into hiding. On 7 July 1970, Kailasam and Satyanarayan were captured by police. They were later shot dead around 10-11 July.[1]
