MessageHi,

The author needs incontrovertible evidence which will stand scrutiny of international scholars. Confirmation bias can make one pick out similarities rather than dissimilarities while comparing the genesis and development of lingual, caste and custom characteristics.

MessageFurther to my last post, etymological or phoenetic resemblance is not proof enough that Telugu language was present in B.C. To show how fallacious this argument could be, if Shakespear had lived in B.C, one could claim that he was a brahmin with real name Sheshappa Iyer. Muslims may claim him to be their own with real name of Sheikh Peer smilie
As someone suggested, something like a DNA linkage or strong archeological evidence only can stand the scrutiny of experts.
This is not to discredit author's attempts, which is deserving of praise smilie
But a lot more serious research needs to go into this field.

MessageVery interesting article. I am delighted someone is doing a serious study on this subject. I always felt there was a deep linkage between the Jews and the Hindus, much more than what would be suggested by trade and commerce alone. My ex-wife once said that present day jews originated from brahmins who migrated abroad smilie
The author has unravelled only a small part of the linkage. SriChakra is found all over India, mostly in south but is not confined to Andhra Pradesh. Kataragama (Kadiragama) is a holy place in Srilanka where god Muruga (Kartikeya) is worshipped in the form of a yantra whose symbol resembles srichakra or star of david.
The problem with the article is author's attempt to desperately try and link Telugu to a remote past. History does not bear testimony that Telugu evolved seperately from Tamil. I know many Telugu speakers get mad when i suggest that Telugu originated from Tamil. I would suggest that author keep an open mind on this. She seems to have started with a preconceived bias that Telugu as we know it originated in a remote past.
I recently read a book by Stephen Knapp (Proof of Vedic Culture's global existence) that suggests that in a remote past vedic culture had pervaded everywhere. In this regard, as many experts have suggested recently, Aryan Invasion of India is a myth perpetrated by colonial rulers of India and has little historical foundation.

MessageGreat invention – also wonderful research – all telugu-s will feel proud about their history. Comparison of Nanni;s letter with today’s Telugu language is good.

MessageGood work madam very interesting please also write something on bnei menashe tribes.

DNA profiling of telugu's wont also be a bad idea.

I have already sent mails to all my friends on your work.

MessageYour article would not pass muster in any international journal of repute.
I suggest you get advice on how to present etymological evidence. This is not up to peer-review standards.
Your article should stand scrutiny on scientific evidence alone and not rely on emotional pleas.
It is a challenge to read this document and gain any logical insight into what you present.
Now that you have publicity from the newspaper article (The Hindu), aim for an international peer-reviewed journal.
Best of luck to you.
