George Reddy was a Ph.D. Scholar at Osmania University. Born in 1947 and in Palakkad, he was a revolutionary student leader who opposed right-wing ideologies. He was stabbed during a students' fight on-campus on April 14, 1972. His untimely death eventually led to the formation of the Progressive Democratic Student's Union (PDSU) at Osmania University. The walk was organized to commemorate the 50th death anniversary of revolutionary leader George Reddy.
