please also note that there was one man in the audience whose name is kanshi ram chaturvedi. the fact that kans chaturvedi clapped while the award was being awarded to justice balakrishna reddy shows that telugu enjoys significant support amongst utthar bharathiyas (UB). the great gult admin now traveling in lucknow has also verified by first hand conversations with waiters in awadhi restaurants in lucknow that telugu continues to enjoy increasing support in all regions of UB. based on this substantial evidence it will by decree be made compulsory for all UBs. twelve new utthar bharat telugu prachar sabhas are being set up all across uttharpradesh, uttharkhand and all other states with pradesh or khand at the end of their names.

let us now celebrate telugu in the words of AKBAR poet subramanya bharathi who called telugu the sweetest langauge he had ever heard.

I can confirm through my research that Telugu is held in high esteem all over Uttarapradesham and Biharu. I was unable to travel to Lakhnau* due to a rather busy travel schedule. So I did field research about both states in Hyderabad itself. I got myself a grand total of four northindians, two from Uttarapradesham and two from Biharu and asked them about their views on Telugu. They all told me that more and more people of their states are learning Telugu; in fact, one guy told me he knows at least 5 UPites who can speak Telugu. Now, UP has a population of 200 million. If one UPite knows 5 Telugu speaking UPites, that makes at least 1 billion UPites who can speak Telugu. If my estimate is off even by a factor of 10x, that gives us 100 million UPites who can speak Telugu.

It is high time we summon the ghost of YSR to lay the foundation stone for the first Uttarabharata Telugu Prachara Sabha in the glorious city of Lakhnau which has always been the heartland of eminent Telugu poets**.

* which is how the city's name is spelled in Hindi -- notice the 'u' sound at the end and cross-reference it with LOLu, ROFLu and Caru

** this last bit was told to me by Justice Matileni Jagapati Babu, so it must be true.

PS: Note that English will eventually replace Telugu, as English is the language of the future.
