The disgusting adulteration of the Telugu language was started as a trend by Telugu poets themselves, like Sri Sri. They had no idea how deep into wretched depths the language would sink in just 3-4 decades.
The reason behind is the destruction of university courses in Telugu.
Now it is fair to say that none of the Telugu politicians can actually speak in Telugu, without switching half the sentence into English, or even switching into a full English sentence. Telugu poets, singers, film celebrities .. nobody can speak unadulterated Telugu anymore !
The decay of the Telugu language is extraordinary even within the last one decade. The current chief minister (Jagan Reddy) is educated in an English medium school, and his grip on the language is barely a shadow of his father’s (who also served as chief minister).
A decade ago, it would have been unthinkable that most of the Telugu population would be writing in English while chatting with their own family and friends on “smartphones”. Telugu script is used very rarely now. Even when Telugu words are used, they are typed in Roman script.

A hilarious article that whines about colonialism and western gaze, but fails to list one single scientific discovery made under the Mughal or Turkic rule!
The largest economic surplus in the world of that period failed to produce even one single unique scientific discovery!
In this thread, I will discuss the nature of creative talent of AI models (such as LLMs like GPT-4 etc), from the perspective of अलङ्कारशास्त्र the Sanskrit aesthetic tradition. I will quote from the काव्यप्रकाश of the Kashmiri scholar मम्मट, from the first chapter (प्रथमोल्लास).
An in-depth understanding of generative AI models from the perspective of Alankāra Śāstra is highly needed. But the subject is vast and requires study of many celebrated scholars like Ānandavardhana, Abhinavagupta, Rājaśēkhara etc. Hope AI researchers will do this at some point.
I just relate the viewpoint from the well-accepted summary of Sanskrit aesthetics (from Kashmir) by Mammata. I am reading it with the Telugu translation by well known scholar Pullela Śrīrāmachandrudu, who summarized other viewpoints in his Prastāvana (introductory essay).
The question is will we see more frequent war and civil war in the future. All regions at the border zones of the great powers are at risk. We saw how European fault lines broke into war. Something similar might be brewing in Central or South America.
A shrinking power like the USA that is behaving increasingly desperate and erratic does not bode well for global security. War or civil war will also be exported to Asia. They are trying hard. I am not sure if India can hold itself together and consolidate its geopolitical zone.
By India’s geopolitical zone, I mean the trade routes to the south west and south east on the Indian Ocean. The SAARC and “South Asia” demarcation is a trap and a tool for the Anglos to keep India in a divisive confused state. The gulf and ASEAN are India’s zone of influence.
We can translate “data” as दत्तांश దత్తాంశాలు or more compactly as दत्त దత్తాలు. I am not sure if मुक्त ముక్త (liberated from responsibilities/bonds) is the right translation for “open”. I think विवृत వివృత is a better expression. Open data can be विवृत दत्तांश వివృత దత్తాంశాలు.
I am not sure how to express the plural of दत्त in Hindi. Can someone who is a native Hindi speaker please comment?
I have also previously translated data as “vishayāgāra” విషయాగారము विषयागार. This somehow feels more natural to me as several words like भाण्डागार कोशागार are already in good circulation.
Open data will then be विवृतविषयागार వివృత విషయాగారము.
One thing the Indian National Congress doesn’t seem to understand, is that arguing the foreign press is criticizing the ruling party (for whatever reason) is not going to earn them any favour with the Indian public. In fact, it will have exactly the opposite effect.
This should have been common sense, but it is not dawning on such a thickly mentally colonized folk as the INC & Co. When will they learn? That time for pandering to the opinions of the foreign press, a la Nehru (Playboy interview) or even Indira Gandhi, is over. Fully finished.
