Madurai Nayaks, a #Telugu Nayaka dynasty, ruled most of present-day Tamil Nadu from their capital at Madurai for over 200 years. Nearly 80–90% of the magnificent #MeenakshiTemple complex seen today was built & expanded under their rule & patronage in the 16th–17th centuries.🛕

🚨 PM Narendra Modi approves north bullet train corridor.
Delhi, Agra, Kanpur, Lucknow, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Patna and Siliguri, and extend to Guwahati.
Blaming films for today's incident comes frm the exact same logic as claiming a woman's clothes invite harassment. Ppl have access to internet & social media with uncensored content 24/7, right at their fingertips. ASPD & other mental health issues shape such psychotic behavior.

#LaxmanRekha is absent in Valmiki’s #Ramayana & 16th cent. Ramcharitmanas. It first appeared in the 13th cent. 'Ranganatha Ramayanamu', the earliest #Telugu retelling off the epic, written by Gona Budda Reddy. It eventually became a defining element of the epic.

🚨 In 1957, Nagasamy Naidu was running a small paan shop in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu, when his family’s biryani recipe laid the foundation for a restaurant business named ‘Dindugul Thalappakatti’.
Nearly seven decades later, Dindigul Thalappakatti has grown into a restaurant chain with over 100 outlets and created a Rs 1,000 crore business.

It is not Telegu. It is TELUGU. Between, Telugu film industry made much better movies on Ramayana 50 years back than what Bollywood seems to have made today

Andhra Pradesh officials have reinstalled Telugu-language signboards in the disputed Kotia panchayat area within 24 hours of their reported removal by a Biju Janata Dal (BJD) delegation.
🚨 Despite Odisha’s boycott call, 20 nominations have been filed for five MPTC seats in the disputed Kotia region of Andhra Pradesh.
TDP filed 11 nominations, YSRCP filed 9 and CPI filed 1.
Tensions erupted at Pattuchennuru, where BJD activists reportedly confronted YSRCP campaigners, raising “Go Back Andhra” slogans while standing in Andhra Pradesh.

Why isn’t this one of India’s most talked-about coastal landscapes?
This is Gangavaram Beach, near Visakhapatnam.
Not the conventional image of a tropical beach. No rows of swaying coconut palms or picture-postcard scenery.
Instead, towering rocky cliffs & a rugged, almost prehistoric beauty.
Frankly, I find this kind of raw beauty even more compelling. It’s the sort of place that invites you not just to relax, but to reflect.
And there’s an interesting irony here…
The world’s technology giants are arriving in Vizag to build hyperscale data centres & AI infrastructure.
But judging by these photographs, nature got into the hyperscaling business here millions of years ago!
Vizag is clearly on its way to becoming a major technology hub. But I suspect it also has the potential to become one of India’s most sought-after coastal leisure destinations.
Clearly, there's more than one kind of spectacular growth story unfolding in Vizag…

🚨 Andhra Pradesh to proceed with panchayat elections in three disputed Kotia villages, citing past polls and the 1968 Supreme Court status quo order.
Odisha plans to revive its pending Supreme Court contempt proceedings against AP over the long-standing territorial dispute.
KOTIA STORY:
Kotia is a group of 28 border villages in the Eastern Ghats at the centre of a long-standing territorial dispute between Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Both states claim 21 of these villages, provide welfare benefits to residents and compete for administrative control.
The vast majority of the 5,500 residents reportedly avoid choosing sides, as the dispute allows them to access benefits from both states. Some residents reportedly hold voter IDs, Aadhaar cards and ration cards from both states.

Chandamama, founded in 1947 by Chakrapani & Nagi Reddy, years before producing Pathala Bhairavi, Mayabazar etc., introduced generations to Indian epics, folklore, & history. Known for its rich distinctive art style, it remains one of India's most beloved magazines.

Remembering #KomaramBheem on his birth anniversary. Born in 1901 in Telangana, the Gond tribal leader fought against the Nizam’s rule for Adivasi rights. Bheem’s legacy lives on in the forests of Telangana & the spirit of its Adivasi communities.🇮🇳
