What constitutes Telugu Diaspora?
Telugu Diaspora
consists of overseas Telugus, who generally identify with the language
they speak, Telugu. The present Telugu Diaspora communities have their
origins mainly from the state of Andhra Pradesh (India) and other parts of
India.
Over two million in its strength, the
Telugu Diaspora is continuing to emerge its presence across the
continents. This site offers a universal platform for the Telugu Diaspora
and its motherland to document information on:
- History of Telugu Diaspora (origins,
destinations, population figures etc)
- Telugu associations, Foundations,
Literary organizations and people associated
- Telugu culture and Identity in
countries with considerable number of Telugus
- Networks and Linkages between the
Telugus overseas and Andhra Pradesh (political, business and
socio-cultural)
- Helping the old Telugu Diaspora
members to trace their roots
- Making the site a resourceful platform
for information on Telugu Diaspora
