@akshay_SiGe@naredalega Bangalore and its surrounding areas have numerous Tamil inscriptions, By the same logic, should we now conclude that Bangalore belongs to Tamil Nadu? Historical inscriptions are evidence of history, not title deeds for present-day borders.
@akshay_SiGe@naredalega The British recorded most things in English, but that doesn't make all Indians British. Ashoka's inscriptions in Andhra and Karnataka were in Prakrit, yet nobody claims those regions became Bihar. The logic is equally flawed.
@rebelosaur006 పాల్కురికి, పోతన నుంచి సురవరం, దాశరథి వరకు ... వీళ్లందరూ పాపం దాన్ని తెలుగు అనుకుని జీవితాలు గడిపేశారు. అదృష్టవశాత్తూ ఈ తరం మేధావులు వచ్చి అసలు నిజం కనిపెట్టారు😀
@Perunchithiran4@barath9500@PonAdhavan@Tamiladvent@vellalarel88260 That's his interpretation, not scientific evidence. If, in the future, some Kannada scholars were to argue in the same way that Tamil Nadu is a region where Kannada evolved and changed over time, would you accept that claim without stronger linguistic and historical evidence?
@anilkr75@naredalega Telugu is present in their border districts as well, but that fact is conveniently ignored. After all, checking the language-wise census of the old Mysore State might spoil the narrative
@PonAdhavan@barath9500@Tamiladvent@vellalarel88260 Kannada as well. Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada all belong to the same language family, so similarities among them are natural. However, each of them is an independent language with its own history and development.
@PonAdhavan@barath9500@Tamiladvent@vellalarel88260 2/n does that mean Tamil originated from Sanskrit? In the same way, we can accept that Tamil is an ancient language, but we cannot conclude that Telugu was born from Tamil merely because the two languages share words or influences
@PonAdhavan@barath9500@Tamiladvent@vellalarel88260 By the way, 'Sangam' itself is a Sanskrit word, and we use it regularly in Telugu. How did they come to use a Sanskrit word to refer to Tamil poets and their literary assemblies?
@PonAdhavan@barath9500@Tamiladvent@vellalarel88260 😆😆 Those words are still alive in Telugu households every day. If the continued use of Sangam-era words proves ownership, then Telugu seems to have preserved them better than Tamil. By that logic, was Sangam literature actually Telugu? 😉
@Rex_at_X@Stitapragn@BharadAneNenu What do you mean by 'stolen'? On what basis are you using that term? It seems you're still stuck in the age of kings and kingdoms
@Rex_at_X@Stitapragn@BharadAneNenu The Mauryan Empire once extended as far as present-day Iran, but it doesn't make sense to say that all Afghans and Iranians were Biharis because of that
