Classical Status : Missed a Bus?
Monday February 13 2006 12:16 IST
Writers are sensitive people. It hurt many Telugu writers on Sunday. Speaker after speaker felt the need to accord 'classical' language status to Telugu.
The clamour became stronger at a meeting of Krishna district writers in the city where some felt 'Tamil' managed to score over Telugu, thanks to the political manoeuvres of our neighbours.
Somewhere in the subconscious, it reminded one that the Telugu leadership had missed the bus. Interestingly, the meet was presided over by Avanigadda MLA Mandali Buddha Prasad whose father had launched a language movement in the region. Nay, the fraternity of Telugu writers shouldn't feel sorry for the 'delayed awakening'.
The meet was scheduled to start at 2 pm 'sharp' as the invitation for the Telugu symposium insisted on punctuality. See the coincidence: Most of the Telugu activists turned up around 3 pm, an hour after schedule. Is that the reason why we are always left behind?
