ekkaDo artificial gaa undi anukunnanu. Thanks for the explanation. Frankly speaking its more of Lack of Cultural Freedom then inferiority complex. Lack of Cultural Freedom was present everywhere British colonised including Germany, French etc., and mostly the Hindi speaking belt. Only communists have identified this fact and tried to counter it by abolishing usage of English and its traditions. People will be rid if this and gain cultural freedom as economy strengthens, but the problem with Telugu people is that they are not aware that they are lacking this cultural freedom. So it has got nothing to do with Inferiority as KannaDigas think. కోటిపల్లికి దారడిగి కొండపల్లికి వెళ్తున్నావేమిటి? ...మనసు మార్చుకున్నాను! DTS "The digital experience" | ||

Sounds like a very subjective article to me. I have no idea where is this telugu is inferior to Hindi kind of notion emerged at all. All along my life I have never seen a telugu guy saying that we are inferior to Hindi. At least in the places I have grown up, I never experienced any Hindi-Telugu discrimination. I think Its just a myth and highly individualistic opinion. There might be the times when Telugites were compared to tamilians but that also not from linguistic pov, but from the success/achievements pov. Evvadi bhasha vaadiki great. Evvadi dialect vadiki great. Okadi language or dilaect is inferior to others ane hakku arhatha evvadiki ledu. | ||

Telugus linguistic inferiority complex Just as the effect of hundreds of years of environment can be seen in the bark of a tree, the effect of hundreds of years of history can be seen in the linguistic inferiority complex that prevails in Andhra Pradesh today. I use the term linguistic inferiority complex (LIC) to denote inferiority complex relating to one’s own language, its utility, its boundaries and its importance. The disastrous effects of this inferiority complex can be seen in our education system, our society, industry, and in general just about everywhere. LIC is so second nature to the so-called “thinkers” of Andhra Pradesh today that even its existence is not acknowledged by them. LIC in AP is made up of the following four unwritten linguistic inferiority complexes, not one of them scientific or democratic or supported by commonsense or fact: 1.Telugu can be used only for simple conversations and light stuff like poetry, drama and other non-scientific things. 2.English is the best language for conversations between intelligent people; definitely the language for any scientific topic. 3.Sanaskrit is the only language for anything even slightly spiritual. 4. Hindi is more important than Telugu in India. The first inferiority complex can be traced to India’s colonial past. The British who opened English schools instead of Telugu sowed the seed of linguistic inferiority complex. School students used to get punished for speaking in Telugu (this is seen even today in most of schools) and rewarded for every small achievement in English. With this a sense of achievement got attached to English and a sense of non-achievement to Telugu. Telugu came to be slowly regarded as a language fit only for simple conversations and light stuff like poetry, drama and other non-scientific things – because the British simply didn’t let anything other than that to go on in Telugu. They truly didn’t think Telugu was fit for anything at all. Even after independence and consequent formation of linguistic states, Telugu is not fully implemented in administration, education or industry. Since the British introduced English as the panacea in the atmosphere of inferiority which they themselves created, it slowly replaced Telugu as the language for conversations between intelligent people; definitely the language for any scientific topic. The English education system was nothing but an engine producing more and more people with this fatal inferiority complex, fit to serve the British crown. Those who came out of the system took pride in hating Telugu, making fun of Telugu and being able to speak English. The flawed arguments that English (as opposed to knowledge) is the strength based on which we can win global markets today, that English is the language of science and technology, stem from this very same inferiority complex continuing to pollute a Telugu’s blood. Although examples exist of countries like Japan, Israel, France, etc., which have all their systems in the language of the land, a Telugite is blind to this because of this second inferiority complex. Sanskrit enjoys a special place in Andhra Pradesh because of the huge corpus of spiritual literature which exists in it (not that we read or understand it). Almost every spiritual thinker of India – real or fake – has resorted to Sanskrit as the language for his spiritual literature. This has been disastrous from the point of view of dissemination of true spiritual thinking among Telugus. Even today, most of Andhra Pradesh remains spiritually challenged because of this single mistake. Telugites have come to believe that spiritual literature cannot exist in Andhra Pradesh, that our Gods understand only Sanskrit! We are so spiritually blind and so mesmerized by Sanskrit that we think anything and everything written in Sanskrit is divine, that even the language and its grammar are divine and worth imitating in Telugu. It’s a pity that even some of our grammarians have bought into the flawed theory that Telugu – a Dravidian language – is derived from Sanskrit, a theory proven totally wrong by linguists all over the world. This is our third inferiority complex. The issue of Hindi (at best a budding language when it comes to age or achievement compared to Telugu) is more recent but reminiscent of British imperialism. Although there is no constitutional provision granting Hindi the status of “National language”, Andhra Pradesh has been made to believe so. Hindi is merely – but undemocratically – is the official language of the Indian Union, but schoolchildren in Andhra Pradesh are taught the blatant lie that Hindi is the National language of India. The central government invests hundreds of crores of rupees every year to impose Hindi on Telugu people in education and central government institutions, even banks, using every medium possible. In the name of urbanization, entertainment media has very tactfully imposed Hindi on Telugu people and made us believe that real entertainment can exist only in Hindi. Slowly, therefore, the suicidal feeling that Telugu is “not enough” to get on to Mainstream India has crept into a Telugu’s thinking. Telugu people have come to believe that Hindi is a more important language than their mother-tongue in India. This is our fourth inferiority complex. Linguistic inferiority complex is draining the life-blood of Telugu people, turning us into inferior individuals building an inferior Andhra Pradesh. It has already brought about a class divide in AP. The “higher class” slights Telugu , is devoid of self-respect, cannot compete with westerners in true intelligence because of having to use a foreign language, and is waiting in long visa queues to escape from reality. The “lower class” – which cannot slight Telugu – is removed from education, science and technology (due to English) and commerce (due to English/Hindi). Both classes are removed from spirituality (due to Samskrutam). It is clear that linguistic inferiority complex must be rooted out from the mind of every Telugite if at all we wish to progress. There is no option but to think of ways in which Telugu can completely replace English in education, science and technology, and Samskrutam in spirituality and religion. Hindi together with the baggage of lies must be removed from school syllabi and the constitutional priority of Telugu in Andhra Pradesh must instead be taught; Telugu must replace it in central government offices, banks and commercial institutions.
