Andhra Pradesh 2010 AD?

I’m not attempting to teach a History lesson here. I’m just recalling our rulers from Srimukha Satakarni to Rosiah and their intentions.  Many among you may be well aware of all this. But still, being Telugus, spend a few moments to read our own pride and unity.

‘The identity of Telugus on the canvass of recorded Indian History goes back to Srimukha Satakarni, the founder of Satavahana Kingdom, who ruled Andhradesa with Dharanikota (in present Guntur District) as his capital between 271 BC and 248 BC. His successors extended the empire. The capital cities were shifted to Dharmapuri in present Karimnagar district and Pratishtanpura (Paithan in present Aurangabad) in various subsequent years. Goutami Putra Satakarni, considered to be popular and valiant king, was 23rd in the dynasty. He restored the glory of Satavahanas by extending the kingdom from Arabian Sea to Bay of Bengal. Satavahana Kingdom has seen 29 rulers for about 400 years and the empire came to an end by 200 AD. With the motive of extending their kingdom, all Satavahana kings struggled to keep Telugus intact.

With the downfall of Satavahanas, other small dynasties like Ikshvakus, Brihatpalayanas, Salankayanas, Vishnukundins, Vaakaatakas, Pallavas, Anandagotras, Kalingas and others ruled over the Andhradesa with their small kingdoms till Eastern Chalukyas came into picture. No ruler, small or big, ever thought of separating Telugus.

Eastern Chalukya king Rajaraja Narendra in 10-11th century brought bigger glory to Telugu literature by making his court poet Nannnaya translate Sanskrit Mahabharata into Telugu. His father Vimaladitya proclaimed that it was always detrimental for any dynasty and culture, when brothers fight each other and separate. Raja Raja Narendra also believed in the same maxim and hence showered his love even on his step brother Vijayaditya. The concept of unity and brotherhood among Telugus was spread in this era.

The reign of Kakatiyas was golden period for sculpture and heritage. Warangal was their capital. Rudrama Devi, the most popular among Kakatiya rulers, was a shining example for valor. She ruled Andhradesa between 1292 and 1294 AD. Her grandson Prataparudra took over from her. No Kakatiya ruler ever thought of separating Telugus.

In 1303 AD Andhradesa has seen first Muslim invader Allauddin Khilji. Ghiazuddin Tughlaq took over in 1321 AD. Nayakas and Reddy Kings have ruled the Telugus between 1333 AD and 1448 AD. Pothana, the poet from Bammera in Warangal district, wrote Andhra Mahabhagavatam in this era. No Muslim invader and no successive king thought of separating Telugus.

Srikrishnadeva Raya of 15th century brought Golden Era to Telugu literature. His Ashta Diggajas, the eight Telugu poet-stalwarts, stand high in the history of Telugu literature. Though a non-Telugu (he was Kanandiga), he united Telugus with a bond of linguistic pride.

Bahamanis, Qutub shahis and Nizams eventually established their kingdoms in Andhradesa. Kancherla Gopanna, popularly known as Ramadas, wrote thousands of Telugu songs on Lord Rama in Tanisha’s reign in 16th century. That was the religious, cultural and linguistic tolerance maintained by Muslim rulers in Andhra Desa. No ruler among them thought of separating Telugus.

Telugus have witnessed the subsequent invasion by British and took part in Freedom Struggle. Vasireddy Venkatadri Nayudu from Coatal Andhra was the first Telugu king who revolted against company rule and British Raj in India. Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy from Rayalaseema was the first Telugu freedom fighter of India. The fearless Kaneganti Hanumanthu from Telengana revolted against British/Nizam. Tanguturi Prakasam, Pingali Venkayya, Bhogaraju Pattabhi Sitaramayya, Bazawaada Gopal Reddy, Prof. N.G. Ranga, are only a few among great Telugu non-violent freedom Fighters. No freedom fighter dreamt of dividing Telugus but united with national spirit.

The sacrifice of Potti Sreeramulu is the epitome of Telugu self-respect and which culminated into carving of Andhra State. The eventual formation of Andhra Pradesh on linguistic basis and Hyderabad as its capital upheld the pride of Telugus with separate entity and identity. No Chief Minister right from Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy to Rosiah (not even Chenna Reddy who fought on separatist plank when he was out of power) has thought of separating the Telugus’.

From 271 BC to 2009 AD, for about 2280 years, Telugus are united and struggled to be together, and tried to solve problems together. Now, in 2009, be it for valid reasons or for political gains, the question of separation has come to forefront. While the year 2009 is going to conclude in 2 days, let us see what is in store for united Telugus in 2010.

Jai Telugus……………

  • EAMCET 2009 Eligibility Criteria

EAMCET 2009 Eligibility Criteria – New proposal to ensure only Intermediate second year students to apply for the entrance test.

The Department of Technical Education in Andhra Pradesh, is considering a proposal to prevent first year intermediate students appearing for EAMCET. It is a common practice that students who are in their first year of Intermediate do appear for the EAMCET entrance examination to get a feel of the real exam and also to see how they perform one before their exam.

As per the proposal, students applying for EAMCET will have to attach a photo copy of their Intermediate second year Hall Ticket. This proposal, if approved will prevent the first year students in taking the test as a practice for the real exam.

Earlier, the authorities announced that the Intermediate (10+2) score will carry 25% weightage in Engineering and Medical admissions from EAMCET 2009 onwards. As per this rule, the 600 marks of the group subjects (Maths/Biology, Physics, Chemistry – including practicals) will have 25% weightage in EAMCET 2009.

Hello world!

Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!

What is love?

 

A student asks a teacher, "What is love?"

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat
field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.

But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back
to pick."

The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,
but he wonders….may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one… but may be there is an even bigger
one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he start to
Realize that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
Know he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand. The teacher
told him, "…this is love… you keep looking for a better one, but
when later you realize, you have already miss the person…."*

"What is marriage then?" the student asked.

The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the corn
field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you
can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick."

The student went to the corn field, this time he is careful not to
repeat the previous mistake, when he reach the middle of the field, he
has picked one medium corn that he feel satisfy, and come back to the teacher.
The teacher told him, "this time you bring back a corn…. you look for
one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best
one you get…. this is marriage.

No God or Know God??

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…..

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)
Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From…God.. .
Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,
but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light….But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t.
If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )
Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir… The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive…….
