Group submission address: scit@icarve2.me.wisc.edu Moderator contact address: ratnakar@cae.wisc.edu (Ratnakar Sonthi, Suresh Kolichala) For your newsgroups file: soc.culture.indian.telugu The culture of the Telugu people of India. (Moderated) The charter, culled from the vote result announcement: It is proposed that the usenet group soc.culture.indian.telugu be changed >from its current status of an unmoderated group to an automoderated group. The original charter follows: Telugu is the twelfth most widely spoken language in the world [1], the second most widely spoken language in India. It is a Dravidian language spoken by about 69 million people. Earliest written records in Telugu date back to the third century A.D., while polished written literature dates back to about 1000 A.D. Andhra is the Sanskrit name for Telugu, and most of its speakers are in Andhra Pradesh, a state in the southern part of India. Telugu is one of the four major languages of the Dravidian family, with its own script common to all of its several dialects. Telugu culture dates back to the begining of Christian Era and it has evolved with the inputs from both Sanskritic and Dravidic culture groups. The proposed newsgroup is expected to be a forum for discussions on topics that are specific to Telugu culture, with no apparent relevance to persons not interested in Telugu culture and language. Postings relating to Telugu or Andhra Pradesh but are of relevance to others are expected to be crossposted to appropriate newsgroups (eg soc.culture.indian, rec.music.indian.classical). Likewise, if a topic is not Telugu-specific, it is expected that it will be posted elsewhere in an appropriate forum. Many postings on the proposed newsgroup are likely to be in transliterated Telugu, with an English translation not necessarily accompanying them. The following is a partial list of such possible topics. Arts: ----- Performing Arts: Kuchipudi dance, its style and framework compared to Bharatanatyam and other dance forms from other parts of the country, dance dramas, evolution of Telugu theater, Telugu lyrics in Karnatic classical music, devotional philosophies of its exponents. Other Arts: Ballads, `harikatha', `burrakatha', their current popularity. Communication Media: ------------------- Electronic Media: Quality of Telugu TV programs, State autonomy versus privatization of the TV, relevance of various programs on the TV, its role in social life, in politics, in government, in adult education, its influence on common man, its role as a news media. Same for Radio, with discussion on regional radio stations. Print Media: News analysis, commentary, editorials, investigative and yellow journalism in Telugu newspapers, their quality in comparison with national newspapers in English. Literary quality and popular literature in periodicals, soft pornography in weekly magazines, science fiction, educational magazines, children's magazines, comics. Visual Media: Films: Various genres, modern trends, comparison with other Indian or foreign language films, technical quality, dialects in films, literary quality of songs, obscenity in sight and sound, social issues in films, film personalities such as directors, actors. Painting, sculpture, handicrafts, puppet shows and street plays. Developmental Projects: ---------------------- Literacy improvement, adult education, primary health care, eradication of social evils like `Jogin' system and bonded labor, NRI interest in such projects, profiles of social service organizations, social workers, governmental long-term projects. History: ------- Various theories on the history of the Telugu language and people, life of a common man in various dynasties, current status of native tribes, British influence on the region, migration patterns. Literature: ---------- Discussions on classical as well as modern literature may include major literary movements, various literary forms and their relationship to the content, diachronic evolution of the relationship between form and content, influence of world literature and philosophers, folk literature, children's literature, literature in various dialects, translations from other languages, poets, playwrights, novelists, story tellers and such. Scientific Literature: --------------------- Teaching science in Telugu, scientific vocabulary in Telugu, reviews of science books in Telugu, taking science to rural children. Software: -------- Good features of a transliteration scheme, various schemes, typesetting in LaTeX, what-you-see-is-what-you-get software based on transliteration, special spell-checking problems in Telugu, optical character recognition, merits of existing packages, ftp sites for transliterated texts. Teaching Telugu: --------------- Challenges in teaching Telugu to the second generation (born and settled outside of Andhra Pradesh) - especially that outside of India, designing textbooks, dictionaries and other learning tools for them. The above is only a small sample of possible topics. It is hoped that the proposed newsgroup will generate discussion on many more such topics. Moderation Policy: The moderation will be primarily for the purpose of eliminating the cross-postings. The moderation will be done by auto-moderation tools (custom-built computer programs), with human intervention kept to the minimum level required to keep said programs operating satisfactorily. The tools will be utilized to auto-moderate posts to the forum by rejecting cross-posts. Posts will not be checked for their contents !!! We feel that such restrictions are needed, considering the large number of irrelevant postings that are flooding SCIT in its current form. While we believe in freedom of expression, practice it to the fullest, and encourage it in others, we think the restriction placed is within reason. It may be noted that *NO* restriction is proposed on language use, on topics allowed, or content, and that we have deliberately refrained from human moderation, to eliminate all possible subjectivity in moderation. Our only aim is to create a newsgroup that allows the fullest freedom to discuss all issues as specified in the original charter of SCIT , but removes material that are of no interest (which is generally the case with crossposts).
