Dancing their way into record book

5 SEPTEMBER 2014 @ 8:07 AM

KUALA LUMPUR: THE Telugu Association of Malaysia Youth Wing (TAM Youth) recently held a 12-hour non-stop Dhaatubhajana, creating a new record in Malaysia Book of Records as the longest non-stop performance.

Dhaatubhajana is a devotional song dance performance with dancers moving in a circular motion around a large brass lamp, with smaller lamps attached to its stem that take the form of a tree.

A total of 236 performers successfully completed the 12-hour performance held at the Temple of Fine Arts in Brickfields here.

The performers came from all over the country, representing more than 25 branches of the association.

Starting at 9am and ending a little after 9pm, the event made it into the record book with 12 hours and nine minutes of performance.

The performance kicked off after the opening ceremony by the TAM president Datuk Dr Achaiah Kumar Rao.

He later thanked TAM Youth for their commitment to make the event successful.

“This is another feather in the hat for the association.

“It is even more special because the feat was achieved by the youth. Under the leadership of Govinda Rao, more than 200 youth took part to create this record.

“A lot of training, preparation and dedication went into this achievement,” said Achaiah.

Officiating at the closing ceremony was City Hall’s Transport Department director Dr Leong Siew Mun who represented Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Utama Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

Malaysia Book of Records representative Leona Paul handed over the certificate of achievement and official inclusion of the new record to Govinda, witnessed by Leong and Datuk Dr Achaiah

History literally comes back to life

The government has sent enough feelers that the Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri (VGTM) region on the banks of the Krishna will be a suitable location for capital.

Banks of Krishna river back in news after 2,300 years. Later, the separatist Telugu movement by the legendary Potti Sriramulu and Tenguturi Prakasam Pantulu led to the first Andhra state on linguistic basis with Kurnool as capital in 1953.

Call it coincidence or design, river Krishna is back to some historical significance. Andhras built Amaravati, on its banks, as capital city way back in 3 Century BC and now with the report on Sivaramakrishnan Committee on capital is out, the government has sent enough feelers that the Vijayawada, Guntur, Tenali and Mangalagiri (VGTM) region will be a suitable location for capital.

Incidentally, VGTM, if decided, probably happens to be the 13 capital location of Andhras who had their first capital here centuries ago. Andhras were never at peace as far as the capital city is concerned. As per known history referred in the ancient Sanskrit Indian text Aitareya Brahmana (800 BC), the journey of the Telugu speaking people that began with Assaka Maha-Janapada settlement between Godavari and Manjeera rivers in southern India served as the first capital of Andhras.

The capital was then shifted to Dharanikota (present Amaravati) during 2 century BC to 2 century AD under Satavahana rulers who ruled most of the country from here. It was then shifted by Ikshvaku dynasty to Vijayapuri (Nagarjunakonda) on the banks of Krishna in the same century. The capital was again shifted to Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu during Pallava rule from 4 to 6 century. Later, it was Kodur, Kapotapuram, Vengi and Vinukonda which served as capital cities during the rule of Bhihatpalayanas, Anandagotrikas, Salankayanas and Vishnukundins.

The seventh capital took shape at Warangal during the rule of Kakatiya and Chola dynasties for a robust 600 years. Then was the golden era of Srikrishnadevaraya’s Vijayanagara empire with Hampi in Karnataka as capital during which period Telugu was regarded as the best of the languages in the country. However, the capital for Andhras was torn between Hampi and Golconda/ Hyderabad followed by Madras Presidency under the British till Independence.

Later, the separatist Telugu movement by the legendary Potti Sriramulu and Tenguturi Prakasam Pantulu led to the first Andhra state on linguistic basis with Kurnool as capital in 1953. Later, the same was merged with Hyderabad after the Nizam dynasty gave in to the Indian government in 1956. While Hyderabad remained as the capital city of Telangana post division of the Andhra Pradesh in February, 2014, the rest of the region which retains the original name is scouting for the capital city.

However, historians opine that selection of VGTM for capital is more of the political convenience than a historical significance. “Historically Andhras or Telugu people had many capitals under several dynasties. The region near Amaravati is just a political decision and no historical perspective to it,” said Professor of History V. Ramakrishna of Hyderabad Central University.

Telugu Wikipedia struggles to stay afloat

• 
• 

For a language that is spoken by 10 crore people, content is sparse

Sujatha, a Chennai-based homemaker, has set for herself the task of updating the Telugu Wikipedia with details of all the districts in Andhra Pradesh.

“I asked others but no one joined me in adding ‘edits’. They said they were too busy,” she says.

For a language that is spoken by 10 crore people, including a tech-savvy population, content in the 11-year-old Telugu Wikipedia is sparse and growing slowly with 20,000 articles added in the last one decade.

T. Vishnu Vardhan, Programme Director, Access to Knowledge Programme of Bangalore-based Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), said Telugu Wikipedia was lagging behind its other Indian-language counterparts despite there being no other content repository in Telugu.

The reason is not lack of writers in the language. There are 1,000 to 2,000 active Telugu bloggers writing on topics ranging from poetry to politics. In fact, the Telugu Wikipedia was started by such bloggers.

But they are reluctant to contribute to the Telugu Wikipedia and prefer blogging because they can see their names after adding the content. Rahimanuddin Shaik, Programme Officer and system operator for Telugu Wikipedia at CIS, said, “You could call it the ‘identity crisis’ of Telugu Wikipedia writers.”

In 2006-07, an attempt was made to induce content in the Telugu Wikipedia by injecting 30,000 ‘articles’ by a bot, a Python-based script. They were one-liners about villages in Andhra Pradesh, introduced with the expectation that people would add more content. That effort did trigger 5,000 articles.

Later, in 2013, the Telugu Wikipedia became more collaborative and Hyderabad University associated itself with it by hosting Telugu Wikipedia events on its Golden Threshold campus.

One thought is that school students can help the Telugu Wikipedia grow. Mr. Vishnu Vardhan said that even if students simply added their school lessons, content could expand on the Wikipedia.

State committed to promote Telugu, says Deputy Speaker

 etThe State government was committed to strengthen oriental colleges and promote Telugu language in all possible manner, according to Mandali Buddha Prasad, Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

He addressed a meeting organised by the city-based Aaswadana Sahiti Samiti to felicitate scholar Betavolu Ramabrahmam with ‘Dantu Bhaskara Rao Memorial Lifetime Achievement Award for Telugu Poetry.’

‘Adhyapakullo Amrutha Moorthulu,’ a book in Telugu penned by the late Pochiraju Seshagiri Rao was released on the occasion. ‘Guru Puja was performed by deputy tehasildar K. Gowri Naidu and a workshop on ‘Telugu Teaching’ was organised on the sidelines of the function.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Buddha Prasad said that he would consider the late Raghupathi Venkataratnam Naidu as the best teacher. Retired professor in Telugu from the Central University V. Ananda Murthy spoke about the book ‘Adhyapakullo Amrutha Moorthulu.’ He recalled that the late Seshagiri Rao was the disciple of the late Veturi Prabhakara Sastry. “Besides writing a detailed article about my father the late Prabhakara Sastry, the late Seshagiri Rao also penned detailed articles on the life and persona of seven other eminent personalities,” Mr. Ananda Murthy said. The book was dedicated to the late Gadi Benna Swamy, noted academician of yesteryears.

Mr. Ramabrahmam said that he was very happy to receive the prestigious award that was installed in memory of Dantu Bhaskara Rao. “Like his father Bhaskara Rao, Dantu Surya Rao too is evincing interest in art, culture and literature. He is also contributing his mite for the uplift of Andhra Sahitya Parishad, one of the prestigious organisations in South India,” he said.

Collector Neetu Prasad, MP Tota Narasimham, MLA V. Venkateswara Rao and other officials were present.
