Where are the Telugu history and literature stalwarts?  I
may actually have to make a contribution!


I have recently been reading a collection of short stories by
Madhurantakam Rajaram. I really liked the stories; they vaguely
reminded me of R.K. Narayan. Rajaram has the same love for
rural Rayalaseema that Narayan has for his fictitious Malgudi.
And the same gentle humor and sympathy for his characters'
plight. Even his villains get off lightly with a gentle,
smiling reproof. Rajaram's style and technique, though 
undoubtedly influenced by Western writing, has more of a 
"native" flavor to it.  

By contrast, Kodavatiganti Kutumbarao seems to focus on 
essentially themes of urban migration and has a global
view of class conflict and economics. He is also less sparing of his
villains, though he  does seem to say that they are bound to
act in that way, being creatures of their class. Kutumbarao's
style, while well-rooted in the Telugu experience, has a
clearer universal flavor. Of course, there is also a
generational difference, as well as a regional difference. 
Kutumbarao is predominantly Coastal.  

Both are wonderfully erudite and sophisticated writers in
their own way; both are a pleasure to read. For me, an
added pleasure in Kutumbarao was a re-acquaintance with
the famous names of the Telugu renaissance, who often
march through his pages. And he documents the progression
of Telugu cultural media in the 20th century from a ring-side
seat. Much like the older Hollywood movies which had as
their subjects the older Hollywood movies and their making.
(But the comparison ends there; Kutumbarao's vision 
of Telugu drama and cinema is far from romantic, unlike
youthful Hollywood's view of itself.) 

One may consider Rajaram as being predominantly inward-looking,
whereas Kutumbarao had an outgoing vision, as far as Telugu
society was concerned.

These are definitely not the views of anyone other than myself.

   "rAmuDunDADu, rajjemunDAdi" is by Kesava Reddy. Truly an excellent 
   book on the human suffering resulting from migration to cities in
   search of employment. I think 'bodhi' is by Ketu Viswanatha Reddy.
   I read a few of his stories too.   

   Two other promising rayalaseema writers you may want to check out 
   are Naamini Subrahmanyam Nayudu and Pulikanti Krishna Reddy. Both
   of them have written stories, essays and biographical articles about 
   life and society in rayalaseema. Subrahmanyam Nayudu is more 
   descriptive, and I remember reading a series he used to write in
   Andhra Jyoti (weekly) about his own childhood in a village near 
   Tirupati, the pleasures of being among such simple people, and in
   no less measure, the constant struggles in the face of a not-so-
   benevolent Mother Nature. Krishna Reddy's stories are really moving
   in their depiction of human suffering. He seems to have been inspired
   a lot by the likes of Koku. Haven't read either of them in a 
   while now..... 

   I am sorry I don't have a list of these authors' works, I will try 
   to gather more information if I have a chance. You should be able
   to get their books in atleast some of the major bookstores in AP.

That's an excellent poem. I sometimes wonder, if such poems support
"chauvanism(sp?)" and blindfaith in our greatness. But, I dont think
it was the intention of Rayaprolu, anyway.

Subject: Sri Sri

I've recently started reading "maha prasthanam". The first thing that
struck me is that even though these poems were written 1935-40, they
are as valid today as they were 60 years ago (maybe even more). 

What I am curious about is how much effect SriSri had. How effective
was his poetry? What did Sri Sri do after "Maha Prasthanam"?? And finally, how
valid would his approach/method be today?? sri sri's poetry seems

bourgoise (sp?) and all that. 

any comments?
