Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy (died 22 February 1847) was a son of an Indian former Polygar. He was at the heart of a rebellion against the British East India Company (EIC) in 1846, when 5000 peasants rose up in Kurnool district, then in Madras Presidency and now a part of the state of Andhra Pradesh. They were protesting British changes to the traditional agrarian system. Those changes, which included the introduction of the ryotwari system and other attempts to maximise revenue, had deprived village headmen and other higher-status people of their role as revenue collectors and position as landholders, while also impacting on lower-status cultivators by depleting their crops and leaving them impoverished.

According to social historian K. Venugopal Reddy, the Polygars Died: 22 February 1847;
Koilkuntla, Kurnool district ,Andhra pradesh

and other higher-status people who preferred the old agrarian system "represented the decadent social order", were in many cases "upstarts" and "were also the heirs of a social system in which various orders of Hindu society were integrated through ages". These people were dispossessed of their lands, which were then redistributed, but the primary purpose of the changes was to increase production rather than to restructure the social order. In some cases, it coincided with a punishment because among the dispossessed were those who had recently been involved in fighting the EIC in the Polygar Wars. Some received pensions in lieu of the lost lands but at inconsistent rates.

The Renati Surya Chandrula Smaraka Samithi was formed to preserve the memory of Reddy and the philanthropist Budda Vengal Reddy, both of whom were born in Uyyalawada village. The committee published a book in both Telugu and English, titled Renati Surya Chandrulu (The Sun and Moon of Renadu), in 2015. It contains excerpts from research papers by historians.

Now an upcoming SYE RAA NARSIMHA Indian Telugu-language biographical epic action film directed by Surender Reddy and produced by Ram Charan under the Konidela Production Company.
