RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Dsicrimination against Telugu people
by vijay ram on Nov 27, 2007 03:18 AM

Well there is more than a little evidence to suggest that the Vijayanagara kings were Telugus. Karnatic music is sung in Telugu. Bharathi called it "Sundara Telugu", the language of poetry and music.

There is a lot of things good about Telugu, but pure ethnicity based bigoted narrow minded thinking like this does not hold up those values in very good light.

What distinguishes Tamils is their ability to absorb and accept outsiders within the framework of their culture. Vaiko may be Telugu, but no Tamil will hold that against him. He represents the interests of his people, who are Tamils, pure and simple. Same with MGR, Jayalalitha neither of whom are ethnic Tamils.

As long as people like you keep announcing their exclusivity from rooftops without seeing the need for reaching out, then there will always be problem.

It is guys like you who encourage splittism in India, as well as Ironically within AP, in the Telengana like situation.
