I have no hesitation in saying that TDP - be it online, offline, on the ground or underground - have no even an iota of inclination towards a strong hindutva base. They are only and only interested in their business. Fair game. No problem with it. But H-wadis should be careful.
There was a time when Andhra Telugus unequivocally echoed national interest. Politicians showed it in their actions. Today that is not the case. Couple that with a lost and degraded emotional core among the electorate, you get AP.
Take any national movement or Hindu movement, Andhra Telugus had a strong say and participated with utmost enthusiasm.
Why is it that Andhra Telugus are not interested anymore? Why is the emotional core of Andhra Telugus lost now? Why is it that there is no politician in AP today who can evoke a patriotic spirit among Telugus?
Why is it that Andhra Telugus are completely disconnected from the reality of degrading social capital within the Hindu fold? The answers are not easy.

From Tanguturi Prakasam garu's biography - "నా జీవన యాత్ర" (from the third part which was added to the biography. This part was written by "Tenneti Vishwanatham".

Note the consternation that happened between leaders of that time about the capital city.
Even when Andhra State was formed, the natural choice of capital was Visakhapatnam (well, obvious if you think about it). But "socialists and communists" in Vijayawada wanted a temporary capital in Vijayawada.
As we can see in this note from the man's own auto biography, Rayalaseema is the one area that has been treated very badly. Leaders of that region were literally begging - Andhra Univ will be in KG, at least give us temp capital.

Question:
How does Singapore handle inter faith marriages?

The answer may shock you based on where you stand on the universality of LKY's ways.
Singapore, from what I understand, has no restrictions on inter-faith marriage except when a Muslim man is involved. The bride has to convert. The State trains the woman in a conversion course and facilitates the conversion.
The groom is interviewed to make sure he can help her in her new religion with customs etc.

But a non-muslim man cannot convert to Islam and marry a Muslim woman, generally speaking. To do so, he has to go through a 1-year conversion course.

On Virility and the nonsensical threads going around of virulous muzzie etc., Gudipati Venkatachalam - Telugu radical communist feminist who later became an ardent devotee of Ramana Maharshi and left his purvashrama - wrote a book called Maidanam (open ground).
The book's lead character is a married Hindu woman who finds her husband's work associate Aamir as an alpha male and is aroused just by hearing his voice. The whole story is about how we should be open about this issue and why women must embrace this notion. of open sex.
The book had issues on all fronts - since it is a hitjob on Hindus, it doesn't dwell into philosophical, moral and social issues. Being the radical feminist he was, Chalam had a rousing reception for this book. Until ...

Even that thought of "simple minded folks sustaining systems" is Hindu in every way.

My mother once told me a story that she heard from her mother - this story also featured in a mini series on DD in Telugu during my childhood called "Ganapati".
Once a young boy had a question. He frantically ran to the old sadhu living near a huge bilva tree on the outskirts of the village. Panting, he asked, "Swami, please pardon my intrusion. I need to ask you a question immediately. This is very urgent."
The sadhu opened his eyes slowly, turned his face to the boy, and said "Child, first sit down, and calm down. Then tell me what is bothering you".
