India's linguistic diversity surprises many Westerners, but there are nearly thirty languages in India with at least a million native speakers. There are more native speakers of Tamil on our planet than of Italian. Likewise, more people speak Punjabi than German, Marathi than French, and Bengali than Russian. There are more Telugu speakers than Czech, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Slovak, and Swedish speakers combined.

There are over six thousand languages in India, as per one estimate. At home, my driver speaks three: Kannada, Tamil and Telugu. I speak three languages: Hindi, English and bad. The home nurse (caring for my MIL) speaks Malayalam. The maid speaks gibberish. And, my husband does not speak. So, by the time we get a simple task executed, for instance, ‘Get some salt’, one can take a short trip to Sri Lanka, learn Sinhalese and come back.

Favoritism is Good (The Sonnet)
My favorite language in the world is Turkish,
Because its culture electrifies my scars.
My favorite language in the East is Telugu,
Because its music emboldens my nerves.
My favorite language in the West is Spanish,
Because it teaches me the worth of freedom.
Favorite ancient tongues are Arabic 'n Sanskrit,
For one embodies peace, another assimilation.
My favorite science of all is electronics,
For it empowers my imagination untainted.
My favorite philosophy is everyday curiosity,
It helps me transcend all sectarian intellect.
My favorite religion in the world is service,
Because it transforms an animal into human.
I don't care what you believe or don't,
As long as your behavior speaks compassion.
Favoritism is a civilized faculty,
when practiced beyond blood and border.
Problem is when you see nothing at all,
beyond the rim of your family and culture.

The Hungryalist or the hungry generation movement was a literary movement in Bengali that was launched in 1961, by a group of young Bengali poets. It was spearheaded by the famous Hungryalist quartet — Malay Roychoudhury, Samir Roychoudhury, Shakti Chattopadhyay and Debi Roy. They had coined Hungryalism from the word ‘Hungry’ used by Geoffrey Chaucer in his poetic line “in the sowre hungry tyme”. The central theme of the movement was Oswald Spengler’s idea of History, that an ailing culture feeds on cultural elements brought from outside. These writers felt that Bengali culture had reached its zenith and was now living on alien food. . . . The movement was joined by other young poets like Utpal Kumar Basu, Binoy Majumdar, Sandipan Chattopadhyay, Basudeb Dasgupta, Falguni Roy, Tridib Mitra and many more. Their poetry spoke the displaced people and also contained huge resentment towards the government as well as profanity. … On September 2, 1964, arrest warrants were issued against 11 of the Hungry poets. The charges included obscenity in literature and subversive conspiracy against the state. The court case went on for years, which drew attention worldwide. Poets like Octavio Paz, Ernesto Cardenal and Beat poets like Allen Ginsberg visited Malay Roychoudhury. The Hungryalist movement also influenced Hindi, Marathi, Assamese, Telugu & Urdu literature.

In Andhra, farmers fear Naidu’s land pool will sink their fortunes Prasad Nichenametla,Hindustan Times | 480 words The state festival tag added colour to Sankranti in Andhra Pradesh this time. But the hue of happiness was missing in 29 villages along river Krishna in Guntur district. The villagers knew it was their last Sankranti, a harvest festival celebrated to seek agricultural prosperity. For in two months, more than 30,000 acres of fertile farmland would be acquired for a brand new capital planned in collaboration with Singapore. The Nara Chandrababu Naidu government went about the capital project by setting aside the Centre’s land acquisition act and drawing up a compensation package for land-owning and tenant farmers and labourers. Many are opposed to it, and are not keen on snapping their centuries-old bond with their land and livelihood. In Penumaka village, Nageshwara Rao, 50, fears the future as he does not possess a tenancy certificate that could have brought some relief under the compensation package. “The entire village is against land-pooling but we hear the government is adamant,” Rao says, referring to municipal minister P Narayana’s alleged assertion that land would be taken with or without the farmers’ consent. Narayana is supervising the land-pooling process. “Naidu says he would give us Rs 50,000 per year in lieu of annual crops. We earn that much in a month here,” villager Meka Koti Reddy says. To drive home the point, locals in Undavalli village nearby have put up a board asking officials to keep off their lands that produce three crops a year. Unlike other parts of Andhra Pradesh, the water-rich land here is highly productive yielding 200 varieties of crops. Some farmers are also suspicious about the compensation because Naidu is yet to deliver on the loan-waiver promise. They are now weighing legal options besides seeking Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s intervention to retain their land. While the villagers opposing land-pooling are allegedly being backed by Jaganmohan Reddy’s YSR Congress Party, those belonging to the Kamma community — the support base for Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party — are said to be cooperative. It is also believed that Naidu chose this location over others suggested by experts to primarily benefit the Kamma industrialists who own large swathes of land in Krishna and Guntur districts. But even the pro-project villagers cannot help feel insecure. “We are clueless about where our developed area would be. What if the project is not executed within Naidu’s tenure? Is there a legal recourse?” Idupulapati Rambabu of Mandadam says. This is despite Naidu’s assurance on January 1 at nearby Thulluru, where he launched the land-pooling process, asking farmers to give land without any apprehension. He said the deal in its present form would make them richer than him in a decade. “We are not building a mere city but a hub of economic activity loaded with superior infrastructure that is aimed at generating wealth. This would be a win-win situation for all,” Naidu tells HT. As of now, villages like Nelapadu struggling with low soil fertility seem to be winning from the package.

The mullah wrote the first few Telugu letters on a slate and asked the boy to learn by writing over them. Thus it came about that, against all social and religious odds, after many centuries of being denied learning by caste Hindus, a Muslim teacher sowed the seeds of learning in the Yelukati family — something for which the coming generations would be forever indebted to this first teacher of the family.

In Karnatik music, compositions are mainly in Sanskrit, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Musicians will find that the aesthetics of the melody seems different when the same musical phrase is sung in two different languages. This is primarily because of the sound of the syllables, which are the pillars on which the melodic phrase is structured. This could be partly psychological – the result of the mind interpreting the melodic flow differently when other syllables are placed in the same position. The syllables and the compound sounds unique to each language register differently in our mind, making the structure of the phrase seem different.

HEROPANTI MOVIE REVIEW & RATING
Movie Name: Heropanti
Director: Sabbir Khan
Producer: Sajid Nadiadwala
Music Director: Sajid-Wajid, Manj Musik
Cast: Tiger Shroff, Kirti Sanon, Sandeepa Dhar
‘Heropanti’, a love story is directed by Sabbir Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. It is the debut movie of Tiger Shroff (son of superstar Jackie Shroff) and Kirti Sanon, both starring in lead roles alongside Sandeepa Dhar featuring in a pivotal role. Overall it is a remake of Telugu movie ‘Parugu’ starring Allu Arjun.
‘Heropanti’ is all about another new gem in Bollywood industry. Big launch with hit songs. New faces- heroine as well as hero. Does it work? Let’s go through to know it…
‘Heropanti’ borrows half of its title from Sr. Shroff’s breakout film and is also having the signature tune from ‘Hero’ (1983) which is being played in the background repeatedly. The action movie is not as terrible as Salman and Akshay films. The newcomer Tiger Shroff has done amazing stunts in the film.
The story is set in the land of Jattland in Harayana where Chaudhary (Prakash Raj), the Haryanvi goon is completely against love marriages. He has two daughters- Renu (Sandeepa Dhar) and Dimpi (Kirti Sanon). Chaudharyji’s elder daughter Renu’s marriage is held, but on the wedding night she elopes with her boyfriend Rakesh. Her step results in a frantic search for her across the village. Chaudharyji launches a manhunt to track them down and eliminate them. Now Haryanvi goon’s men suspects Rakesh’s friends and thinks that they may know where Renu is. So the goon decides to kidnap the buddies of his daughter’s lover.
Bablu (Tiger Shroff) turns to be one of the buddies with ultra muscular head and shoulders model who falls in love with Chaudharyji’s younger daughter Dimpy (Kirti Sanon). The goons manage to trace Bablu who has actually helped Rakesh and Renu in escaping. Bablu, meanwhile in captivity, shares with his pals about his love interest.
Bablu falls in love at first sight with the pretty younger daughter of Chaudharyji’s, Dimpy. He comes to know quite early that it is none other than the Harynavi goon Chaudharyji’s daughter.
The movie tries to end up in a ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ style where Bablu uses his superpowers and figures out to be with his love but without offending her father.
launch pad for Shroff to show his acting and dancing skills. Plan to watch it, if nothing left to do.
Tiger Shoff is a great action hero. When it comes to action, he is a star but comparatively his acting skills are zero. Kirti Sanon requires a little brushing up on her acting skills she reminds us somewhere of young Deepika Padukone who is surely going to have a good run in the industry someday.
Verdict: It’s the most masala-less movie of this year with more action and less drama. But the movie is a perfect

Jinnah had, among other things, criticized the singing in government schools of the patriotic hymn ‘Vande Mataram’. Composed by the great Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, the poem invoked Hindu temples, praised the Hindu goddess Durga, and spoke of seventy million Indians, each carrying a sword, ready to defend their motherland against invaders, who could be interpreted as being the British, or Muslims, or both.
‘Vande Mataram’ first became popular during the swadeshi movement of1905–07. The revolutionary Aurobindo Ghose named his political journal after it. Rabindranath Tagore was among the first to set it to music. His version was sung by his niece Saraladevi Chaudhurani at the Banaras Congress of 1905. The same year, the Tamil poet Subramania Bharati rendered it into his language. In Bengali and Tamil, Kannada and Telugu, Hindi and Gujarati, the song had long been sung at nationalist meetings and processions.
After the Congress governments took power in 1937, the song was sometimes sung at official functions. The Muslim League objected vigorously. One of its legislators called it ‘anti-Muslim’, another, ‘an insult to Islam’. Jinnah himself claimed the song was ‘not only idolatrous but in its origins and substance [was] a hymn to spread hatred for the Musalmans’.
Nationalists in Bengal were adamant that the song was not aimed at Muslims.The prominent Calcutta Congressman Subhas Chandra Bose wrote to Gandhi that ‘the province (or at least the Hindu portion of it) is greatly perturbed over the controversy raised in certain Muslim circles over the song “Bande Mataram”. As far as I can judge, all shades of Hindu opinion are unanimous in opposing any attempts to ban the song in Congress meetings and conferences.’ Bose himself thought that ‘we should think a hundred times before we take any steps in the direction of banning the song’.
The social worker Satis Dasgupta told Gandhi that ‘Vande Mataram’ was ‘out and out a patriotic song—a song in which all the children of the mother[land] can participate, be they Hindu or Mussalman’. It did use Hindu images, but such imagery was common in Bengal, where even Muslim poets like Nazrul Islam often referred to Hindu gods and legends. ‘Vande Mataram’, argued Dasgupta, was ‘never a provincial cry and never surely a communal cry’.
Faced with Jinnah’s complaints on the one side and this defence by Bengali patriots on the other, Gandhi suggested a compromise: that Congress governments should have only the first two verses sung. These evoked the motherland without specifying any religious identity. But this concession made many Bengalis ‘sore at heart’; they wanted the whole song sung. On the other side, Muslims were not satisfied either; for, the ascription of a mother-like status to India was dangerously close to idol worship.

When my sight gets foggy, I watch Cary Grant.
Whenever I feel homesick, I listen to some Telugu,
Whenever my heart bleeds, I run straight to Turkey.
It is sort of a perpetual motion engine,
I empower the cultures, the cultures empower me.
If I am the world's not-so-secret hometown human,
The world is my secret to my infinite electricity.
How, do you think, I became the neighborhood
humanitarian to every single person on earth!
It's because I never glorified one culture over another.

Ramayana, Mahabharat, Vedas, Upanishads and rest of Hindu stuffs I have already read and completely finished when I was very early itself but due to so much exploration, I have forgot so many things but my subconscious always shows right way. and whatever is hidden is not for against Hinduism it is a tool against what is actually wrong or bhramastra. Other than Hindu stuffs, I have also read Tamil stuffs, Telugu stuffs, kannada stuffs in many way But I dont comment on them just because of the reasons mentioned below.
Buddha, Mahavir stuffs I like but not 100% comfortable. Bible and Kuran also I have read but not completed yet so I can not comment on it completely. Other than these I have also read Latin American, Mayan, Egyptian, illuminati or in any other words about secret societies, Australian aboriginal, unidentified or uncontacted species, Peru, submerged civilizations, ancient gods, Hinduism in ancient time, anchorwat, Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro and rest of the things also I have read already but I can not comment on it without solid proofs or at least without talking with those people.

So I am an Indian who's mother tongue is Tamil and Ancestral language is Telugu, Intellectual legacy from Palm leaves is in Vatteluzhuthu (Tamil + Malayalam Mixture),
So wherever I go for research studies on Environment/ Ecology/ Biology, I represent myself as INDIAN (Who is comfortable in English) unless I marry a Non - Indian girl, and I represent Tamil Philosophy for defense mechanisms, science, business and all other possible spiritual, social and all other dimensions that are focused.
The thing is learning Hindi, Sanskrit, Kannada or any foreign language is not a big deal, if i put effort for 3 to 6 months I can easily grab a language from grammatical foundations to advanced speaking but even after learning another language, at some point of my time in future, either I have become a biological researcher and/or astronaut as I dream of , but at that moment If I do not have the attributes of my current birth place, then there will be a guy or a girl or a leader or even a child who would easily question me that you have forgotten your mother tongue either for money or for women or for passion, so how can we trust you that you will protect/ guide us?
So previous life carnation was Rajput and before that was time frame Europe, those things are in my mind and I will never forget, but in this very life I have to represent Tamil Philosophy and Ideology,
As English is a common communicative and International language in science and technology, there is no one can deny English,
Even lord Krishna was embarrassed just because he was Yadav. So although I have knowledge of all Indian gods and Goddesses and respecting all religions, castes and customs within India, within earth, within universe and beyond, I represent in English with Tamil Philosophy.
So wherever I go for research studies on Environment/ Ecology/ Biology, I represent myself as Indian unless I marry a Non - Indian girl, and I represent Tamil Philosophy for defense mechanisms, science, business and all other possible spiritual, social and all other dimensions that are focused.
Now choosing Guru is important before starting your passionate journey (Mine is science), so while choosing Guru, three things to remember,
1) Guru must be Knowing context specific problems,
2) Guru must not have lived immoral life
3) Guru must have withstand enormous pressure and opposition to show his/her potential on specific subject in his/her time
4) You can also choose more Guru as you move on in your life but starting point or First Guru must be from your Place
My Gurus That I really Consider as my gurus
1) Mahakavi Subramanya Bharathiyar
2) Tholkappiar
3) Carl Sagan
4) Stephen Hawking
5) Bear Grylls
6) Siddhartha
7) Lord Ramachandra
8) Lord Shiva
9) Lord Dasarat (Indra)
10) All goddesses
11) Lilith (She was portrayed as bad but she was not bad)
12) Lord prometheus
13) Lord Surya
14) Lord Krishna (Sometimes because I hate him)
15) Sita

Part 2 - Now the problem is India is with multiple cultures, context specific reasons and languages - so protecting value of India means protecting each and every cultural values in India, but when these people turn arrogant their values getting down, that is the problem, you have to withstand the pain to show you are capable, if you are capable then the culture you belong is also capable - this is applicable for anyone, and once your character and your cultural identities are analyzed you will be easily estimated to be fit for something.
But in my case, it is totally complicated,
First I am Ganapathy K (Son of Krishnamoorthy not Shiv), that born on 14- April 1992 (Approximate Birth day of Lord Rama and Tamil New year and Dr Ambedkar birthday), My family name is Somavarapu (Which means clans of Chandra - Or Monday - Or cold place) My family origin is from Tenali - Guntur, but permanently settled in TN, born in agricultural family (Kamma Naidu (General caste in AP and Telangana) but Identified as Vadugan Naidu (OBC) for reservation benefits as OBC Non Creamy - as made by my ancestors - I did not make this. And Manu smiriti varna system did not take place in south India much like UP or Rajasthan even in ancient times. Even in ancient times, north rulers did not rule south india at all, rather they made friendship sometimes or they made leaders for south people by selecting best fit model. So whomever are said to be kshatriyas in South are Pseudo Kshatriyas or deemed Kshatriyas which means there are no real Kshatriyas in South India - and it was not required much in south.
tribal people and indigenous people in south were very strong in ancient time, that they prayed and worshiped only forest based idolizers. they do not even know these Hindustani or Sanskrit things, and Tamil was started from Sangam literature (As per records - And when sangam literature was happening - Lord shiva and Lord Karthikeya was present on the hall - As mentioned on Tholkappiam ) - So ethically Tamil also becomes somehow language of God, Krishnadevraya once said Telugu was given by Lord shiva. And Kannada is kind of poetic language which is mixture of Dravidian style languages with some sanskrit touch and has remarkable historical significance from Ramayana period. My caste (Kamma) as doing agriculture work was regarded as upper sudra by British people but since they knew sanskrit, they were taking warrior roles ( Rudramadevi, munsuri naidu clan, pemmasani clan, kandi nayaka (Srilanka clan ) As Kamma also has interactions with Kapu, Balija, Velama, Telaga and Reddy clans - they were considered as land lords/Zamindari system - later in some places given chowdary and Rao title too.
And my intellactual property in Bio sciences and my great granpa wrtings, my family knowledge which includes (Vattelzhuthu - Tamil + Malayalam mixture) sanskrit notes about medicinal plants in western ghats which my great grandpa wrote, my previous incarnation in Rajput family and European family.

कैलाश पर्वत पर निकट की गुफा में आनंदस्वामी ने दूसरी बार तपस्या करने हेतु पद्मासन लगाया। इस बार वह जल्दी ही विकल्प समाधि में पहुँचे। उनके शरीर में मानो हजारों विद्युल्लताएँ दौड़ गईं। छह मास तक अखंड समाधि। अपार आनंद। ‘ॐ’, ‘ॐ’, ‘ॐ’... का प्रणव मंत्र। आनंदजी ने अपने नेत्रद्वय खोले। उनका मुख संपूर्ण चंद्रमंडल ही था, उनकी देह से प्रकाश फूट रहा था। उनके ओठों से मंद हास छूट रहा था। उनके नेत्रों से दिव्य ज्ञान—ज्योति निकल रही थी। आनंदजी को अपने गुरुदेव से आज्ञा मिली थी—‘‘हरिद्वार के समीप अपना आश्रम बनाओ। प्रतिदिन भगवान् के मंदिर के सामने स्थित घाट पर स्नान कर उनके दर्शन करो। तदनंतर आश्रम जाकर तप करो।’’ उस सुंदरी का झलकता हुआ मुखमंडल हर मिनट सामने दिखाई दे रहा था। आनंदजी सिर घुमाकर पद्मासन लगा ध्यान करने लगे। वह कश्मीरी बाला थाली में फल और फूल लेकर पास में आई और नमस्कार कर पार्श्व में बैठ गई। उस बाला के अंग आनंदजी के शरीर का स्पर्श करने लगे। युवती ने आनंदजी के भाल को चूमा। ‘‘ओह!’’ कहते आनंदजी तुरंत उठ बैठे। वहाँ पर कोई नहीं है। थाली नहीं, युवती भी नहीं है। अकेले वही हैं और चारों तरफ शून्य कुटीर।

उस महल का निर्माण धन—संपत्ति ने किया। पर झोंपड़ियों और पर्णशालाओं आदि का निर्माण आन और इज्जत से हुआ। मंदिर का निर्माण भक्ति के परिणामस्वरूप हुआ। उस महल के आश्रय में अनेक लोग हैं, जो सदा रुपयों की झनझनाहट में मग्न दिखाई देते हैं। उन रुपयों की झनझनाहट में उन्हें बगल के रामचंद्रजी के मंदिर में होनेवाला घंटा—घड़ियालों, शंख तथा तुरियों का नाद सुनाई नहीं देता। बगल के कुटीरों में रहनेवाले शुभ्र हृदयों के परिमल की तो वे सुगंध भी सूँघ नहीं पाते हैं। इस अट्टालिका में घोंसला बनाने के लिए एक भी गौरैया नहीं आती। उस महल की छत पर आराम करने के लिए एक कबूतर तक नहीं फटकता। गाय भी उस भवन के सामने नहीं ठहरती। किंतु इधर उन झोंपड़ियों में कुछ मानव निवास कर रहे हैं। उन झोंपड़ियों के छज्जों में कुछ गौरैया अपने नीड़ बनाए हुए हैं। उन झोंपड़ियों के पार्श्व में उगे हुए पेड़ों पर तोते वार्त्तालाप करते हैं। नीचे मेमने शौक से खेलते हैं।

मुझे इस बात का आश्चर्य है कि वे चक्रवर्ती मेरे सौंदर्य की आराधना करते हुए मेरे प्रेम को नहीं पाते। मेरे सौंदर्य के वास्ते एक चक्रवर्ती की पत्नी के जैसा मेरा आदर करते थे। सौंदर्य नामक यदि कोई साम्राज्य है, तो मैं उसकी महाराज्ञी थी। अन्य विषयों में मैं किसी काम की नहीं। चक्रवर्ती और उनकी पत्नी दोनों मेरे सौंदर्य पर मुग्ध थे, पर चक्रवर्ती कभी भी मेरी तरफ प्रेम भरी दृष्टि नहीं दौड़ाते थे। मेरा स्पर्श करते हुए आगे न बढ़ते, मेरा हाथ पकड़ने का प्रयत्न न करते। मेरे पास बैठे रहने की इच्छा भी उनमें नहीं थी। मैं अपनी बात क्या कहूँ? मेरा हृदय चक्रवर्तीमय हो गया था। मुझे निद्रा नहीं आती थी, भोजन करने की इच्छा तक नहीं होती थी। मेरा सारा जीवन अंधकारमय हो गया।

लड़की ने फटे—पुराने कपड़े पहन रखे हैं। किशोरी की आँखों से किशोर का हृदय झाँक रहा है। किशोर के हाथ में लाठी, सिर पर पगड़ी, कमर में कोपीन। उसका गहरा श्याम रंग चमक—चमक जाता है, किशोर की आँखों में भी किशोरी का हृदय झाँक रहा है।

अनियमित, क्रमविहीन निद्रा तथा आहारवाला अभिनय तथा प्रेमविहीन काम इसके सौंदर्य को नष्ट कर रहा है। उसका सहज सौंदर्य क्रमशः घटता जा रहा है। पर उसके स्थान पर अब कृत्रिम सौंदर्य दिन—प्रति—दिन बढ़ता जा रहा है।
