02:54Reading is a part of our culture.
03:00It influences our thoughts.
03:07We have forgotten reading.
03:12We are losing our Telugu identity.
03:20If there are 12 crore Telugu people,
03:23it is difficult to sell a book worth 12,000 copies.
03:28Reading is our strength.

03:46The book is still alive.
03:49It is not in use in India.
03:52The Telugu language is in a very bad state.
03:55There are many reasons for this.
03:58We have to think about all these.
04:01Our books are being taken away from us.
04:08Countries like Finland have made books a part of their curriculum.
04:28Many European countries have made books a part of their curriculum.
04:36Varaku Obama has become the US President twice.
04:41He has earned a few crore rupees from his royalties.

04:54I have been a principal at a journalism school.
04:57When we interview students,
05:01we see that they have stopped reading.
05:06They don't read books.
05:08Students who have passed their degree
05:10don't read a single book.
05:12There is no such thing in the world.
05:14We have to respect books.
05:16We have to protect books.
05:18Books give us an in-depth knowledge.
05:23We should love books.

05:30You should read books.
05:38You should buy books.
05:40You should respect books.
05:42You should love books.
05:43You should protect books.
05:45If we read books with a goal in mind,
05:48Upmukhimantri has a lot of youth in him.
05:52I tell many people,
05:54if you read B.A., B.Com, B.Sc. for 3 years,
05:57it is 36 months.
05:59If you read B.Tech, it is 48 months.
06:01If you read a book once a month,
06:03and if you add up all the books you read
06:05during your degree,
06:07and add it to your resume,
06:09tell me who will give you a job.
06:12It will definitely have an impact on the book.
06:15We should get good writers.
06:18We have many good writers.
06:20People like Upmukhimantri,
06:22and many others who have a degree,
06:26should write books.
06:28We should take books to a wide audience.
06:31With the support of the government,
06:33we should write books in a public place.
06:36We are lacking some translators.
06:39We do not have translators like Nayanamayi.
06:44If we give a section in translation to our universities,
06:48and increase it,
06:50we will get more readers.
06:52Our readership will expand.
06:54Kanyasulkam should go to all parts of India.

06:59was translated into 40 languages

07:05was translated into Indian languages.
07:07We have Kandukuri, Gurjada Apparao,
07:10great writers like them.
07:12We should go to other languages,
07:14to other Indian languages,
07:16to other parts of the world.
07:18We lack translators.
07:20Gandhi's autobiography,
07:22Satya Sodhana,
07:24which inspired the whole world,
07:26is not a good book.
07:28Since the 1930s,
07:30we have had 3-4 writers.
07:32We do not have a simple language
07:34that people can understand.
07:36We need translators like them.
07:38We need original thinkers.
07:40We have great scholars
07:42like Medhas,
07:44and foreign scholars.
07:46We need translators
07:48who write their experiences
07:50in Telugu.
07:52Then our book will expand.
07:54We need to take our books
07:56to the public.

08:00we have had a book exhibition
08:02in Vijayawada.
08:04We need to take our books
08:06to every part of the country.
08:08We need to treat our books
08:10as friends.
08:12Books are like a temple.
08:14If we take our books to the public,
08:16our Telugu books will expand.
08:18It is good for our culture.
