 Unknown Telugu historian

D P Anuradha


Hello, dear readers! 

I hope you are all doing well and enjoying your day. Today, I want to share with you something that I found very fascinating and enlightening. It is about a book that I recently read, which is about the history and culture of our beloved Telugu language and people.

As you know, Telugu is one of the oldest and richest languages in India, with a history that goes back to over two thousand years. We Telugus have a proud and glorious heritage, which we have inherited from our ancestors who excelled in various fields of knowledge, culture, art, literature and politics. They spread their influence and civilization across India and beyond, leaving their mark on many countries and regions.

But how much do we really know about our past? How much do we appreciate and celebrate our achievements? How much do we learn from our mistakes and failures? Sadly, not much. Many of us are ignorant or indifferent about our history and heritage. We take it for granted or forget it altogether. We are more interested in the present or the future, or in other cultures and languages. This is where we need the help of Telugu historians, who are the custodians of our memory and identity.

One such historian is DP Anuradha, a journalist and a writer who has devoted her life to exploring the Telugu roots in Southeast Asia. She has travelled to countries like Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia, where she has discovered the traces of Telugu culture, language, art, architecture, inscriptions and names. She has collected and presented these evidences in her book Jagamunelina Telugu: Godavari Nunchi Java Daka (Telugu Across the World: From Godavari to Java), which is a historical novel based on her findings. She is the recepient of  " Thapi Dharmarao-award " too for her research on Telugu race history.

The book tells the story of Suryavarma, a Telugu man who travels across different countries and different times to learn about the Telugu heritage. He meets various historical figures like Sri Krishna Deva Raya, Nannaya Bhattaraka, Harihara Raya, Gajapati Kapilendra Deva, Raja Raja Chola, Rajendra Chola, Parameswara, Hayam Wuruk and many others. He also witnesses the rise and fall of Telugu kingdoms like Kalinga, Vengi, Chalukya, Kakatiya, Vijayanagara and others. He also encounters a mysterious woman named Amrutha who becomes his love interest.

The book is not just a dry narration of facts and dates. It is a lively and engaging story that blends history and imagination. The author has used various sources like sculptures, paintings, monuments, temples, stupas, caves, coins, manuscripts and oral traditions to recreate the past. She has also used poetic language and literary devices to make the story interesting and appealing. The book is a tribute to the Telugu spirit and pride that has survived through centuries.

The book is published by Telugujathi Trust, an organization that works for the promotion and preservation of Telugu language and culture. The book was first serialized in , a monthly magazine edited by Dr Samala Ramesh Babu. The book has received positive reviews from critics and readers alike. It has also been appreciated by eminent personalities like K Srinivas (editor of Andhra Jyothi), Dr Govindaraju Chakradhar (historian) and Akella Raghavendra (writer).

The book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about the Telugu history and heritage. It is also a source of inspiration for young Telugu people who want to follow their dreams and passions. The book is available at all Navodaya book stores and online platforms. You can also contact the publisher at:

Are Marriages Made in Heaven and Divorces Made in Courts?

Are Marriages Made in Heaven And Divorces Made in Courts? Marriage is one of the most important and sacred institutions in human society. It is often seen as a symbol of love, commitment, and harmony between two people who choose to spend their lives together. But what makes a marriage successful? And what causes a marriage to fail? Is it fate, free will, or something else? Some people believe that marriages are made in heaven, meaning that there is a divine plan or a cosmic match for every person. They think that there is a perfect partner for everyone, and that finding them is a matter of destiny or luck. They may also believe that once they are married, they are bound by a spiritual bond that cannot be broken by any earthly force. Others, however, may argue that marriages are made on earth, meaning that they are the result of human choices, actions, and efforts. They think that there is no such thing as a perfect partner, and that finding someone compatible is a matter of compatibi...

Another landmark in Hyderabd: Solar Cycle Track Have you ever wondered what it would be like to ride a bike under the Sun, literally?

Should You Take a Course Before Getting Married?

Image
If you’re planning to tie the knot with your partner, you might be wondering if you need to take a course or get a certification before walking down the aisle. After all, marriage is a big commitment and a lifelong journey, so it makes sense to want to be prepared and equipped for it. Well, the short answer is: it depends. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for every couple, and different people may have different views and needs when it comes to marriage preparation. Some couples may feel confident and ready to get married without any formal training, while others may want to learn some skills and strategies to enhance their relationship. The good news is that there are plenty of options available for couples who want to take a course before getting married or even after they are married. These courses can cover various topics such as communication, intimacy, conflict resolution, finances, parenting, and more. They can also be delivered in different formats such as online, in-pers...

Why Schools Should Teach More Practical Subjects?

Why Schools Should Teach More Practical Subjects? Do you remember what you learned in school? How much of it was useful and relevant to your life and career? If you are like most people, you probably forgot most of the facts and formulas that you memorized for exams, and wished you had learned more practical skills that could help you in the real world. Schools are supposed to prepare students for the future, but often they fail to do so. They focus too much on academic subjects that are disconnected from reality, and too little on practical subjects that can equip students with valuable skills and knowledge. In this blog post, I will argue that schools should teach more practical subjects, such as taxes, coding, cooking, insurance, basic home repair, self defense, survival skills, social etiquette, personal finance, public speaking, car maintenance, and stress management. I will also explain the benefits of these subjects for students and society. What are Practical Subjects? Practic...
