The Telugu Heritage Collective

A handle dedicated to Telugus & Telugu Heritage beyond Andhra, Telangana.

From Kandy to Ganges, from the Ghats to the Eastern sea.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

Dear Telugus, we've noticed frequent confusion btw The Telugu Collective (@telugucollectv) and our account (@DTeluguCollect). The former has long promoted Telugu literature on Instagram. To honor their work and prevent mix-ups, we are rebranding as The Telugu Heritage Collective.

@jamadagnisri @a_srinidhi Anna - Upma literally means Uppu + Maavu = Upmavu = Upma

In Telugu, Uppu + Pindi (maavu) = Uppindi. Not sure how Andhra lost Uppindi and adopted Upmavu/Upma

Atleast in Kannada they have retained Uppittu = Uppu + Hittu (Pindi)

@N11947 The Southern Tri Junction where Kannada, Telugu and Tamil meet.
Kolar, Bangalore, Chikkaballapura, Hosuru, Kuppam, Hindupuram, Madanapalle.

We have our own sub-culture, cuisine, dialects of Telugu, Kannada and Tamil.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

@deepakr0407 @awaitasynk Everyone loves Kannada. I love it too. But my love for Kannada doesn't change my ethnicity.

@generalusername We still use రాండ in Morasunadu.
డ's aren't softened here.

రా, దా are interchangable.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

@VizagRailways @AndhraNexus This basically covers all of Andhra. 🙂

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

@ananyashasau Ofcourse Andhra and Karnataka!

Sri Lankan Telugus learning to read and write Telugu from Malaysian Telugus. ❤️

A big thank you to Telugu Academy Malaysia for keeping the Telugu alive beyond borders!

At this rate, don't be surprised if future generations are learning Telugu in Dallaspet, New York Nagaram, Austinpatnam or even San Franciscopuram. 😄

[Sathiah Sudakaran @mysathiah]

After 2 weeks of intensive learning, the Sri Lankan Telugu descendant students have successfully developed the ability to read, write, and converse in Telugu with confidence. Beyond language acquisition, they have also embraced and mastered traditional Telugu cultural arts.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

@jayabhaskar @cbkwgl Same with Kiruba. I was wondering why would someone name their daughter Kiruba.

Semi literates claim India is a union of states and therefore union of nationalities etc by randomly citing article 1. What they don’t understand is state means from panchayat to parliament. Every office is deemed a state. So when India is a union of states. It should be read along with article 3 and most importantly article 12 of the constitution which defines what is a state. Even ONGC comes under the definition of state.

There is only one nationality in India and that is Indian.

@karthik2k2 Chennai being a Tamil city itself a stolen legacy !
It’s Telugu city from its origin and became, pattna the cosmopolitan of 19/20century, with Telugus of AP, TN,KN, Tamils of down South, Kongu, Malayalis of Malabar and others from allover India

Chennai needs modernity

[Sri Surapati Indra Teja Naidu @SriSurapati]

Searching for a site in the Chennai Metropolitan Area without Telugu beneficiaries is like searching for a beach in Chennai without sand. Happy hunting!

[Sravy G @sravytweets]

@TTHCollective Major land donors for modern day’s Chennai were native Telugus. Hundreds of acres of land was donated to the government by K. Sriramulu Naidu, a portion on which current day meenambakkam airport sits. But not even a single terminal in the airport is named after him.

[నాగ్ వాసిరెడ్డి @nag_vasireddy]

dear @ncbn and @revanth_anumula, Andhra+Telangana is 2nd largest economic region in the country. You need skilled staff and they need you. Please make enough Telugu teachers available for schools in Hindi heartland for students who want to choose Telugu as third language.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

@HarishVJ640693 India is a free country! Thanks!

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

Kanchi was the capital of the Andhras for 700+ years,
Hampi for about 500+ years,
Madras for 300+ years,
Warangal for a certain period and Hyderabad for another.

All of these were frontier cities for Andhra. In the last 2,000 years, for more than 1,500 years, Andhra’s capital was located on frontiers shared with its neighbours.

Now, after a very long time, it is returning to its core with Amaravati. That is also one of the reasons why neighbouring envious states want Amaravati to fail.

[Harish V J @HarishVJ640693]

@TTHCollective Other things but historic capital?

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

Well, if aspirants are “dying” for it, they have to do better and earn it. That’s how competitive exams work.

And no, he did not “waste” an AIIMS Delhi MBBS seat. Bioinformatics and Medical Informatics are fields that specifically benefit from a strong Life Sciences and medical background combined with Computer Science.

He is literally using both degrees together.

The bigger issue here is the rigidity of our education system and society, where people expect an 17 year old to perfectly know what they want to do for the next 40 years and then never evolve, explore or change directions.

He explored, excelled, adapted and ended up building an interdisciplinary career. That’s not a waste, that’s exactly what higher education should enable.

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

Telugu Tejam! ♥️

[Asmit @coolcoder56]

MBBS from AIIMS Delhi, took IITM Online degree during college, then cleared GATE Exam with AIR-1 and took https://t.co/1UkDY7X8PI in IISC Bangalore. Now works as director in a US based Medical Informatics company

[The Telugu Heritage Collective @TTHCollective]

Nothing directionless about this. Nobody, by default, knows what they want to do for the rest of their lives, certainly not at 17.

He completed MBBS with full dedication, then picked up IIT Madras’s online BS in Data Science program out of genuine interest, excelled in it, fell in love with the field, cracked GATE and completed his MTech.

Now he works in Bio/Medical Informatics, putting both his MBBS and Computer Science knowledge to use.

If anything, this says more about the rigidity of the Indian education system, where if you choose medicine, you are expected to continue only in that path, without the freedom to change streams or pursue different majors/minors to experiment and discover your interests.

Comparing Andhra, a newly formed state, to a state that inherited Madras City, a colonial presidency capital built over 300+ years with the sweat, taxes, talent and resources of people from all across Andhra, North Kerala, Tulunadu, and parts of Karnataka is neither fair nor honest.

Madras was not built overnight, nor by one region alone. It accumulated institutions, industries, ports, universities, administrative power, financial networks and human capital over centuries under a unified presidency.

Despite losing its historic capital, institutions and economic base overnight, Andhra still rebuilt itself from scratch.

That itself is a testament to the resilience of Andhras.

Andhra’s competition is not with anyone else, it is with its own potential. And history has shown time and again that Andhras rise, rebuild and reinvent.

It will rise again.
And all some people can do is watch with envy.

[AgentSaffron @AgentSaffron]

Tamil Nadu GDP is nearly twice that of Andhra

It will take long for Andhra to catch up.

And everyone who underestimated Vijay right from his early acting days ended in dump. He will prove everyone wrong
