The cuneiform script is one of the earliest known forms of written expression. Created by the Sumerian’s
from ca. 3000 BC, cuneiform writing began as a system of pictographs. Over time, the pictorial
representations became simplified and more abstract.
The cuneiform writing system originated perhaps around 2800 BC in Sumer; its latest surviving use is
dated to 75 AD.
The cuneiform script underwent considerable changes over a period of more than two millennia.
Cuneiforms were written on clay tablets, on which symbols were drawn with a blunt reed called a stylus.
The impressions left by the stylus were wedge shaped, thus giving rise to the name cuneiform .
The Sumerian script was adapted for the writing of the Akkadian, Elamite, Hittite languages, and it
inspired the Old Persian and Ugaritic national alphabets.
The characters consist of arrangements of wedgelike strokes generally impressed with a stylus on wet clay
tablets, which were then dried or baked. The history of the script is strikingly parallel to that of the
Egyptian hieroglyphic The normal Babylonian and Assyrian writing used a large number (300–600) of
arbitrary cuneiform symbols for words and syllables; some had been originally pictographic. There was an
alphabetic system, too, making it possible to spell a word out, but because of the adaptation from
Sumerian, a different language, there were many ambiguities. A single symbol could be used to represent a
concept, an object, a simple sound or syllable, or to indicate the category of words requiring additional
definition. Cuneiform writing was used outside Mesopotamia also, notably in Elam and by the Hittites.
There are many undeciphered cuneiform inscriptions, apparently representing several different languages.
Cuneiform writing declined in use after the Persian conquest of Babylonia (539 B.C.), and after a brief
renaissance (3d–1st cent. B.C.) ceased to be used in Mesopotamia.

the word is derived from talaing, who were chiefs who conquered the Andhra region. M.R. Shastri is of the
opinion that it is from telunga, an amalgamation of the Gondi words telu, meaning “white”, and the
pluralization -unga, probably referring to white or fair-skinned people. the word could be derived from
tenungu meaning “people of the South”.
The ancient name for telugu land seems to be telinga/telanga desa. It seems probable that the base of this
word is teli, and that -nga, or gu is the common Dravidian formative element. A base teli occurs in Telugu
teli, bright; teliyuTa, to perceive, etc. However, this etymology is contested. Telugu pandits commonly
state Tenugu to be the proper form of the word, and explain this as the ‘mellifluous language’ from tene or
honey. However, this claim does not appear to be supported by scholarly opinion. The word Kalinga might
be derived from the same base as Telugu kaluguTa, to live to exist, and would then simply mean ‘human
Telugu is the Second largest spoken language in the country after Hindi.

1]Saadhana Soorulu are those who, with a lot of devotion and concentration, learn magic or Indrajala and
give performances in the art of magic. They are known to produce miracles and shock their audiences.
They belong to the Padmashali community are dependent on the weavers in this community with whose
permission they give performances. The team performing this art form consists of six men. They go around
villages throughout the year and give magic performances. They stay for five or six days in a village.
Performances are given in open places where there is scope for a good gathering. They are arranged during
daytime only. No make-up is necessary for this performance. A few of these performances are detailed
below. Four poles are fixed in the place of the performance. A man is tied to a pole with rope and
completely covered with cloth.
When the cover is removed, the man tied to one pole is made to appear at another pole. Another item in the
performance is what is known as Agnisthambhana. This is done by fixing a stout needle on the head of a
man. A shallow vessel is placed on the other end of’ the needle with a flame under the vessel. Rotis are
baked on the vessel after this. Another magic performance is known as Jalasthambhana. In this they show a
person drinking water with his mouth and letting the water out through his ears and nose.
Yet another is Vayusthambhana. This is done by making ones body light, controlling breathing and then
weighing the body on a light scale. By doing such magical acts, Saadhana Soorulu continue their
performance for about three hours. They have Katladi (right for collection) with the Padmashali
community. Performance is their main source of livelihood.

The invention of spinning gave a great impetus to the introduction of varied effects previously; the use of
multicoloured threads provided ornament for simple structures, but the demand for variety extended far
beyond the limits of colour, and different materials were employed either separately or conjointly, together
with different schemes of interlacing. Eventually the weaver was called upon to furnish articles possessing
lustre, softness and delicacy; or those that combine strength and durability with diverse colourings, with a
snowy whiteness, or with elaborate ornamentation. In cold countries a demand arose for warm clothing,
and in hot ones for cooler materials; while commerce and industry have requisitioned fabrics that vary
from normal characteristics to those that exceed an inch in thickness. In order to meet these and other
requirements the world has been searched for suitable raw materials. From the animal kingdom, wool, hair,
fur, feathers, silk and the pinna fibre have long been procured. From the vegetable kingdom, cotton, flax,
hemp, jute, ramie and a host of other less known but almost equally valuable materials are derived.
Amongst minerals there are gold, silver, copper, brass, iron, glass and asbestos. In addition, strips of paper,
or skin, in the plain, gilt, silvered and painted con – ditions are available as well as artificial fibres. All of
the fore – going may be used alone or in combination.
