Ya but since I was writing I decided to be more formal.
On another note I found this speech of NTR:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAwTZ1kUikk
That is what I call Telugu, in that entire speech only foreign words I heard were "minority" which should have been "alpa sankhyaka" (well kilo was another but that's unavoidable) roju (dhinam) and amalu (arabic, but don't know the Telugu word), when I can talk like that continously then I know that I can speak Telugu.
I then see jokers like Naidu or YSR who are supposed to lead a Telugu state speak Tenglish, shows the changes that have taken place in a decade. At least the nutter Karunanidhi has the saving grace of speaking excellent Tamil.
I saw Dalapathi yesterday, in 14 years they have raped the language because when I saw the movie it was very much a Telugu movie not a Tenglish one trying to pass off as a Telugu one.
As for Bharatendu Harischandra, I read a small English bio of his online, what he wanted was the spoken language of the people to be the standard not too Persianised or Sanskritised, looks like even that is not enough for contemporary secularists, in his own time there was some guy who had the title "sitar-e-hind" or some crap who ran a Hindi magazine but did it in uber Persianised Hindi, maybe that's what our secularists would have preferred.
