Preserving Telugu will enable sustenance of our culture, says Venkaiah Naidu
Literature and poetry that focus on societal good remain timeless and that is the reason why epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata continue to inspire even today, said Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu on Friday.
Speaking at the golden jubilee celebrations of Visakha Sahiti, a literary organisation, he observed that literature is a vehicle through which a nation’s greatness and glory are mirrored. He also said that writers, poets, intellectuals and journalists should accord priority to societal good in all their writings and works.
“A country’s culture and traditions play an important role in shaping literature. We will be able to protect our culture if we preserve our folk literature,” he added.
