More 'T' nonsense
by confuzzled dude Mon Aug 19, 2013 5:03 pm
-> The following excerpt made ZERO sense to me. Are the authors inferring that Hyd state without the merger would've continued with Urdu medium, from what I gather Telugu was relegated to 3rd language status after Urdu & Marathi in Hyd state. Which is why Vislandhra 'T' folks favored the merger.

"A highly tolerant city with a multi-lingual and multi-religious population was transformed into an almost monolingual, conservative and communal disturbances prone city in the course of forty years after reorganization. Why has this happened? The answer for this question is not difficult to fathom. There was a deluge of migrants from Andhra, most of them could speak only one language and were hitherto not exposed to cosmopolitanism. Holding the reins of political power helped this segment of population to impose an alien dialect and life styles in an alien city in the garb of promoting Telugu culture. But, the Telugu language and cultural forms were drastically different from those of the local Telugu population. An indication of the cultural invasion is the erection of statues of Telugu people in the city. The fact that the local people cannot even pronounce the names of these people, leave alone know who these people are. What purpose did this process of imposition of cultural forms serve? This amounts to cultural imperialism."

If T people didn't know who Nannaya, Tikkana, Ellapragada, Potana, Krishnadevaraya, etc., were, they might as well speak Tel-Ur-Mar and be satiafied with it.

The imposition of Urdu-only education on Telangana by the Nizams was the real cultural imperialism in this whole mess!confuzzled dude wrote:-> The following excerpt made ZERO sense to me.
