Telugu Association of North America (TANA) was officially formed in 1978. Initially it consisted only of local and regional Telugu Associations in North America. It reached a membership of about 10,000 in the 1990s. Individual life memberships were added in the early 1990s. Over the past 30 years, TANA earned a good reputation among Telugus in North America and Andhra Pradesh. However, in the past few years TANA reputation took a big hit due to allegations of membership and voter fraud. Due to allegations of fraud in the 2003 elections, only life members were permitted to vote. Since then local and regional Telugu Associations stayed away from TANA and none of the local or regional Telugu Associations in North America are currently members of TANA. In 2004, the total members of TANA were around 4,000. After the 2005 elections, a small group of people got together and decided to pad the membership rolls so that no one else not sanctioned by this group can win in future TANA elections. They increased the total membership to around 7,000 and boasted that no one else could dare to contest and win in future elections. There were only two contests for association-wide elections and the people who padded the voter rolls swept to power and are in absolute control of the organization. The current President of TANA, Mr. Prabhakar Chowdary Kakarala, was elected in 2005 as the President-Elect and moved up to his current position in 2007. Since the group elected in 2007 has full control of the Executive Committee (EC), they prevented the President from doing anything in the past 9 months. His decision to appoint an independent committee to review new membership applications was voided so that they can keep full control of the membership rolls. The rest of EC did not agree with his decision to appoint a qualified and respected person who has strong support from the Florida Telugu community to serve as the Coordinator for the 2009 TANA Conference in Florida. Going against past practices of TANA in the selection of a Conference Coordinator, they picked a novice who does not enjoy the support of the local Telugu community for this position. They control the TANA Patrika and the TANA website. The President is not even allowed to express his own views in the Presidents Message published in every TANA Patrika. The silent majority of TANA could not sit still and watch TANAs reputation tarnished by the members, gofers, and, goons of a small group of people that have no respect for honesty and integrity. So the silent majority has decided to fight head on and bring their beloved TANA back to normalcy and restore its reputation. The silent majority undertook a vigorous membership drive and joined thousands of new members. We do not know the final number yet as this group runs its activities in a secretive fashion. But based on various regional reports, it appears that the membership total jumped explosively from 7,000 to around 35,000. We have to wait and see to find out the games the current Executive Committee is going to play. We understand that there is an active lawsuit filed against TANA in a Maryland court by TANA members.
