Overview
Chinta Chandrashekar Rao is identified in public reference databases as an Indian footballer.

Background
Indian football in the post-independence decades produced a number of regional players who represented their states in national tournaments and turned out for prominent clubs in the country's principal footballing cities. Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh, in particular, contributed several footballers of note to Indian football during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, a period often regarded as a strong era for the domestic game.
Significance
Rao's inclusion in databases of Indian sportspersons reflects his recognised status as a footballer at the national or first-class level in India.
