The Telugu Heritage Collective

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.

@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

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

@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.

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.

@HarishVJ640693 India is a free country! Thanks!

@TTHCollective No we don't want u to fail built it stay there we already have lot of telugus we consider whoever here before 20th century as our own.But think u still have every claim over hyderabad even Amaravati built. U can speak about yanam merger with andhra pradesh though.

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.

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.

He did not do mbbs from some random college He wasted a precious mbbs seat at aiims delhi..Aspirants are dying for it that too in a country where mbbs seats are extremely low !! And moreover he did not know what he wanted to do because of the very some society i had blamed in earlier tweet !!

Telugu Tejam! ♥️

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.

@TTHCollective All I see is directionless young man brainwashed by family and society running behind the latest trends who also might have lost millions of childhood memories !! Need not to celebrate this rather spend time to pounder upon where we went wrong as a society !!

@jivanadi Bengaluru > Visakhapatnam Mysore > Mangalore/Udupi/Manipal > Tirupati

Bengaluru , Mysore Vizag

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.

@notomraut @centerofright New Chennapatnam/Madrasapatbam, no aai, vaai plsss

@TTHCollective @centerofright New Chennai to honor Chennapa Nayaka

Sricity

Very practical, plausible and realistic move. Please make this move and pull the Madras driven development towards the North. They denied Madras and North Madras to Andhras; we can now build a New Madras on our own home turf. Please also consider a New Madras Airport and transform and rename the remaining stretch from Sri City into New Madras or Neo Madras. A historic opportunity is presenting itself before you! @ncbn @naralokesh @RamMNK

@kristanjore reason👇

Colombo has a Telugu settlement where the majority of residents belong to the Mala community. Their request is for the Government of India to fund the construction of a Telugu Culture Center, similar to the Tamil center, under the IndoSri Lanka Development Partnership program.

@TTHCollective @TeluguNeravu The Telugu Association of Malaysia is deeply humbled and honoured to support the Ahikunthika Telugu community of Sri Lanka in reconnecting with their beautiful mother tongue, culture, and heritage.

నవ్వాలో ఏడవాలో అర్థమవ్వట్లేదు! Sri Lankan native Telugus had to go all the way to Malaysian Telugus to learn and reconnect with their own mother tongue… instead of coming to neighbouring Andhra or Telangana or even Madras. The Malaysia Telugu Association and @TeluguNeravu are organizing a Telugu Bootcamp for the Ahikunthika Telugu tribal community of Sri Lanka in Malaysia. What hurts is, this program was originally supposed to happen in Andhra with Tirupati Women’s University. But due to lack of support in getting Home Ministry clearance, the opportunity was lost. @naralokesh Andhra missed a beautiful opportunity to welcome back a forgotten Telugu community searching for its roots.

Chittore Tatchur Expressway* just a couple of kilometeres away. Chandragiri, Tirupati, Tiruttani will merge if this takes off! One long stretch from North to South. East is already fast becoming a stretch of Industrial Cluster, Chandragiri, Tirupati, Renigunta, Srikalahasti, Sri City

I am not sure if you are aware of how Hosur was built and what it is today. It was built exactly on the border, one step this side and you are in Karnataka. The TVS factory and the Ashok Leyland factory were the first ones and both sit on the boder. Yes, a lot of people from the Karnataka side initially went there and worked. But today? Once the entire ecosystem is completely built, it's fast becoming a Tamil city (it actually pains me to say this!). Back then, NH 44 was just a two way single road. Give it some time... they would have a vision for why they are building it there. Building anything in the north and northwest corner of Madras is making Madras grow towards the north. Royal Enfield near Satyavedu, Sri City near Gummidipoondi, this near Tiruttani. The Bangalore–Chennai Expressway is just a couple of meters away and the bullet train too... the whole stretch is going to be lit! Roopurekhalu maaripothayi.

Sri city is just at the edge of TN. It's like the Hosur of AP. This kind of 10000 acres should be planned at Chittoor city near by. In coming year 3 highways connecting there. Better plan such SEZs at Chittoor area
