TELUGU PEOPLE : THEIR ORIGIN AND CULTURE

IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THE TELUGU PEOPLE ARE NOT DESCENDENTS OF ANY MIGRANT RACE, BUT THEY ORIGINATED ON THE INDIAN SOIL. AND ALSO THAT THEY ARE NOT ANY MIXED RACE, BUT BORN BROWN (WITH SHADES OF LIGHTER AND DARKER DEPENDING UPON GEOGRAPHICAL REGION ON THE LONGITUDE). WE ARE NATIVE INDIANS AS THE NATIVE AMERICANS ARE FOR AMERICA. UNLIKE NATIVE AMERICANS WE ARE FAR ADVANCED LONG BACK IN EVERY ASPECT OF CULTURE AND CIVILISATION. WE PARTICIPATED IN THE MAHABHARATHA YUDDHA ON THE PART OF THE KOURAVAS. OUR LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE ORIGINATED MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND YEARS AGO. KARNATAKA CLASSICAL MUSIC WAS INVENTED AND LYRICS WERE WRITTEN BY TELUGU MUSICIAN POETS. KUCHIPUDI DANCE IS EXCLUSIVELY BY THE ANDHRAS. WE HAVE NATIVE INDIAN RUSHIS AS OUR ANCESTORS. VISHWAMITRA IS SAID TO BE THE FOREFATHER OF ANDHRA PEOPLE. TELUGUS ARE ONE OF THE CULTURALLY, POLITICALLY MOST ADVANCED PEOPLE OF INDIA. WE HAD GREAT KINGDOMS LIKE THE ANCIENT SATAVAHANAS AND THE RECENT KRISHNADEVARAYA. OUR CAST SYSTEM AND NAMING SYSTEM DEPEND UPON THE PLACE OF ORIGIN AND PROFESSION OF OUR ANCESTORS, WHICH IS VERY CLEAR TO EXPLAIN AND UNDERSTAND. WE EAT A LARGE VARIETY OF ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE PRODUCE.WE ARE A VERY FRIENDLY AND AMICABLE PEOPLE, ABLE TO SETTLE DOWN AMICABLY WHEREVER WE WENT. ASSIMILATING OTHER CULTURES AND DISSEMINATING OUR OWN.
