Abstract

From Foreword: It is a matter of immense happiness and pleasure that the long awaited Second World Telugu Conference is being held at Kaula-Lumpur as originally planned during April, 1981. Telugu speaking people have migrated and settled down in several parts of the World. Nearly one-sixth of the Telugu speaking people (i.e.), about one crore ^ire today living outside the State of Andhra Pradesh. A glorious history extending over 25 centuries, a sweet and rich language and culture bind the Telugu speaking people into an emotional affinity. The first ever attempt to bring the Telugu speaking people all over the world on to one platform was made in April, 1975 when the First World Telugu Conference was held at Hyderabad, the State Capital. It was a grand success and gave a new impetus to further strengthen the bonds of affinity among the Telugus and lovers of Telugu.
