International Mother Tongue Day rally,Yarlagadda ,HMTV RRao

A call to popularise Telugu and save it from threat of extinction was made at a rally conducted here on Monday on the occasion of International Mother Tongue Day.

Students take part in International Mother Tongue Day rally

As per UNESCO study, of 6,500 languages in the world, 2,500 were under threat for want of patronage.

UNESCO thinks that promoting recognition and practice of various languages will prevent the threat of their extinction.

Several Indian languages are facing the threat due to growing craze by parents to teach their children in English medium and make them good at communication in English to get good jobs at the cost of their own mother tongues.

The rally by schoolchildren on the beach road from the statue of NTR to the statue of Puripanda Appalaswamy was organised under the aegis of Loknayak Foundation.

Andhra University Vice-Chancellor B. Satyanarayana, HMTV Chief Editor K. Ramachandra Murthy, Andhra Bhoomi Editor M.V.R. Sastry and Lok Nayak Foundation chairman Yarlagadda Lakshmi Prasad were among those present.

The day is observed as per the call given by UNESCO in memory of students killed in Dhaka while fighting for official language status to Bangla in 1952. Telugu was among 196 languages identified as under threat for extinction in India by UNESCO in its report submitted in 2008. Dr. Lakshmi Prasad called for change in mindset of people to educate their wards in Telugu and demanded compulsory teaching of Telugu from first standard to degree as one of the language papers.

Durban city

South Africa is a country well known to many of us. Many Indians settled there some 150 years ago. Most of them went as indentured labourers. South Africa has many beautiful and large cities and towns with modern infrastructure. Durban is one of those cities where many the Indian community has settled in large number. The 150th year of the arrival of Indian Indentured labourers was recently celebrated there. The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma graciously noted in his State of the Nation Address in Parliament that celebration ‘provides an opportunity to recognise the important contribution of the Indian Community in the fields of labour, business, science, sports, religion, arts, culture and the achievement and consolidation of our democracy.’

Birth anniversary of Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy

The Telugu Language Day coincides with the Birth anniversary of Gidugu Venkata Ramamurthy Pantulu. Gidugu like Guruzada Appa Rao and others, advocated the use of spoken Telugu so that the majority of the people could understand it instead of the language that was used by earlier poets and scholars. Previously scholars advocated a language of status which was the bookish language of scholars and poets like Srinatha, Tikkana and Potana, and they looked down upon the colloquial spoken dialect which they considered inferior to the language of the scholars and pundits. But this bookish language was more sanskritized and, as such, could not be understood by the lay people.

Telugu Language Day

29 August

In Mauritius every year we celebrate or commemorate a ‘Day’ which marks an event, whether social, cultural, linguistic or religious, as per our faith, philosophy or appartenance.  Some people also celebrate the English language Day or the French language Day.

The Telugu community commemorates Telugu Day on the 29 August. In Mauritius, Telugu is spoken by many inhabitants who are of Telugu origin and whose ancestors hail from the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.

Telugu is the official language of the state of Andhra Pradesh, which is one of the largest states in the South of India. Telugu belongs to the Dravidian family of languages and it has been largely influenced by Sanskrit. It is one of the twenty-two scheduled languages of the Republic of India and was conferred the status of a classical language by the Government of India in October 2008. This Dravidian language is the mother tongue of the majority of people of Andhra Pradesh. It is also spoken by many people in all the neighbouring states, namely Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh as well as in many countries in the world to which the Telugus have migrated, like the U.S., Canada, England, Australia, Mauritius, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, New Zealand, Holland, the Gulf countries, Botswana, South Africa and other African countries.

Commemorating Telugu Language Day is one more step taken by the Telugus of Mauritius to sensitize and encourage our youngsters to learn and speak this language. Telugu is the second most-spoken language in India (80 million native speakers in Andhra Pradesh, India).

Gidugu effort to fight English

FATE OF TELUGU IN 1912

school final board decreed that composition 1912-13 exam can be written in either prose of colloquial language. Charles Phillip Brown's Telugu reader and E. Veeraswami Kaasi yatra charitra are quoted as references to colloquial language. Conservative Telugu pandits started worrying by these reforms.. Sri J.Ramayya been elected as head of Andhra Sahitya parishat, Sri V.Subbarao, V.sastry led a public outcry to remove this freedom of colloquial language in this 'composition examination'
Prose was exhaustively used in School and College textbooks.Veeresalingam 's 'light prose' was also used in some of them. 

Yates made Gidugu think

English gentleman named J.A. Yates came to North khosta districts in 1907 Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam as a school inspector. Yates did nor understand the way Telugu pandits are teaching the elementary school pupil. He questioned the Vast differences between the colloquial language and Prose. Yates was bothered by the same problem in Tamil Nadu also, earlier. When he asked this question to the A.V.N. College principal Sri P. T. Srinivasa Iyengar, He was pointed towards Gurajada Apparao and Gidugu. Gidugu started concentrating on this issue and realized that there is a problem in the Telugu teaching. Telugu prose reformation movement started with the thoughts of these four people  Yates, Iyengar, Gurajada and Gidugu. Gidugu is already lecturing on the importance of living language jeevadbhasha.
