Literature Links |
|
|
Home of the present site. Contains Samples of literature with relevant introductions where ever possible. Several hundred poems, etc. Long term vision: To provide full e-texts to Telugu literature. Volunteer based. |
|
|
From Dr. K.V. Rao's India Network foundation. Pioneering site. Packets of useful material. However, quite slow in progress. Volunteer based. |
|
|
Lekha -an excellent site. Many big names in the Internet Telugu scene are associated with it. Volunteer based. This site has the potential to become the finest Telugu site on the net. Many useful pages are being created. Check out the following: |
|
|
Sri Ramakrishna Sanka's personal page -Fine compilation of many Telugu poems and related material. Both in RIT and Telugu Lipi. Over the years, he collected many Telugu poems posted by various netters on SCIT and TELUSA and put them on his page. The present site and Sri Sanka's page have prepared portions of kanyaaSUlkaM e-text in conjunction. |
|
|
Sri Anantha Sudhaker Uppala -Good collection of links. Author's personal works too. Additional material of interest. Notes on Telugu meters, etc. |
|
|
Sri Sudesh Pillutla from Texas. Put up poetry and other material. Does not seem to have updated it for quite sometime. |
|
|
Well compiled material on basic Telugu alphabets, etc. Telugu University. Web site hosted by Andhra Today. |
|
|
Some portions of the pedda baala Siksha as well as useful lessons on Telugu Alphabet, etc. Sri Sreenivas and Smt. Anuradha Sirigina -developers of Telugu Lipi. Used to present Telusa mails also in Telugu Lipi. |
|
|
Dr. Ari's translation of Volga's Sweccha (1987). Must read. |
|
|
They seem to promise to post quite a large amount of material - nothing yet! |
|
|
Links to Literature in Personal Pages |
|
|
Sri Jagadish Bisa -Samples of works by the author. The author is well known on the discussion circles in the Internet. |
|
|
Personal works by the very well-read author! Well known on the TELUSA circles. |
|
|
Several works by the very well versed author in various techniques. He has an astrology page and a discussion list too! |
|
|
A few works by the author. The author is well known on the discussion circles in the Internet. Looks like the site will move to lEkha site. |
|
|
Smt. Prathima Chilukuri's personal page with Telugu poems and other stuff -very cute page design from embroidery shop! |
|
|
Short poems of the author with Photographic/picture interpretations. |
|
|
Discussion Groups |
|
|
Discussion group for Telugu Literature since 1995. The Best that Telugu has to offer on the net. Although dull at times, fabulous discussions do take place in short bursts. Many of the top Telugu literature enthusiasts and experts are tuned in. Archival sites: telusA-ratnakar1, telusA-ratnakar2. |
|
|
Lekha project. telusA discussions are re-posted using Telugu tikkana fonts developed by Prasad Chodavarapu. Suresh Kolichala and friends are leading the work. |
|
|
Short form of soc.culture.indian.telugu. Since early 1990s. Discussion group for Telugu people in general. Although TELUSA emptied most of the Telugu literary talent from SCIT, it may still be worthwhile to browse through occasionally. Beware of the sporadic vulgarity and cross-posting. It can be suffocating at times. Discussions can be read through the newsgroups section of your internet service provider. Prior to this, there were other lists, including a couple on the Bitnet (does any one remember the Bitnet or its alter ego Netnorth at all!). SCIT used to be reasonably interesting till mid 90s (or so I am told!) |
|
|
On going discussion about pre-organized discussion topics. A unique format. Maintained by Kumar Ampani and Madhusudan Voruganti. Active during 1997 and part of 1998. Does not contain much since then. |
|
|
Mailing list: Literature of South Asia and the Indian diaspora. Some relevance to Telugu literature once in a long while. |
|
|
A more or less exclusive group. saradA stands for samaacaara raha daari -an acronym for Internet. Set up in 1998 after the Atlanta meeting. Not a very active list since the group seems to be discussing things via private e-mail list recently instead of through the public forum. |
|
|
Chat Lines |
Com Star seems to have started a Telugu chat line. Did not last. I am unaware of any other popular chat lines for Telugu literature (or any other Telugu subject, for that matter). |
|
Links to Institutions -Literature |
|
|
Potti Sri Ramulu Telugu University, Hyderabad. Web site hosted by Andhra Today. Miles to go before clearly entering the cyber age. |
|
|
Institute of Asian Studies, Chennai. Govt. organization. Hoping to take up and complete some useful projects. No where near the Tamil studies in scope, breadth or depth. |
|
|
--------- |
I am not even aware of Telugu departments in other established Universities carrying out any Internet activity. Osmania and Kakatiya Universities put up material about many of their departments on the web. Nothing useful yet on Telugu literature. It is time that they stared doing it. Computer based Tamil studies including those on the net are ahead by at least a couple of decades! |
|
