So, Nannayya is known as Aadi Kavi (the first poet). The advanced and well-developed language used by Nannayya suggests that this may not be the beginning of Telugu literature. Andhra Mahabharatamu was later furthered by <a title="Tikkana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikkana">Tikanna Somayaji</a> (1205–1288), to be finally completed by <a title="Yerrapragada" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerrapragada">Yerrapragada</a> (fourteenth century). Nannaya, Tikanna and Yerrapragada are known as the Kavitraya or the three great poets of Telugu for this mammoth effort. Other such translations like <a title="Marana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marana">Marana</a>’s Markandeya Puranam, <a title="Ketana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ketana&action=edit">Ketana</a>’s Dasakumara Charita, <a title="Yerrapragada" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerrapragada">Yerrapragada</a>’s Harivamsam followed.<br />It was almost the end of the eleventh century by the time the original Telugu literature came to exist. Some of the early landmarks are <a title="Srinathudu" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Srinathudu&action=edit">Srinathudu</a>’s Sringara Naishadham, <a title="Potana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potana">Potana</a>’s Dasamaskandham, <a title="Jakkana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jakkana&action=edit">Jakkana</a>’s Vikramarka Charitra and <a title="Timmakka" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timmakka">Talapaka Timmakka</a>’s Subhadra Kalyanam. Literary activities flourished, during the rule of Vijayanagara dynasty. <a title="Krishnadevaraya" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krishnadevaraya">Krishnadevaraya</a>’ s time (sixteenth century) is considered the golden age in the history of Telugu literature. The king, a poet himself, introduced the Prabandha (a kind of love poetry) in Telugu literature with his Amukta Malyada. His court had the <a title="Ashtadiggajas" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashtadiggajas">Ashtadiggajas</a> (literally "eight elephants") who were the known to be the greatest of poets of that time.<br />Some critics dismiss the following period, dominated by prabandhas, as a decadent age. Of the dozens of works of the eighteenth to mid nineteenth century, <a title="Kankanti Paparaju" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kankanti_Paparaju&action=edit">Kankanti Paparaju</a>’s Uttara Ramayana in campu style and the play Vishnumayavilasa stand out. Other genres bloomed at the same time. Innumerable <a title="Yakshagana" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakshagana">Yakshaganas</a> or indigenous dramas of song and prose works were also produced. <a title="Tyagaraja" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyagaraja">Tyagaraja</a> (1767–1847) of <a title="Tanjore" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanjore">Tanjore</a> composed devotional songs in Telugu, which form a big part of the repertoire of <a title="Carnatic music" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnatic_music">Carnatic music</a>.<br /><a id="Modern_history" name="Modern_history"></a><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">Modern history :</span><br /><a title="Charles Philip Brown" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Philip_Brown">Charles Philip Brown</a> (1798-1884), was an employee of <a title="British East India Company" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_East_India_Company">East India Company</a> whose quest to understand the basic structure of Telugu language made him embark upon an exploration of Telugu literature. His pursuit is said to be the only present day source of the many classics in Telugu literature.<br />Although the first printed Telugu book was out in 1796, it was a while before the modern period in Telugu literature set in. Young men acquainted with English literature were influenced by Shelly, Keats and Wordsworth, and a new type of romantic poetry called the Bhavakavithwam was born.<br /><a title="Kandukuri Veeresalingam" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kandukuri_Veeresalingam">Kandukuri Veeresalingam</a> (1848-1919) wrote the first novel in Telugu, Rajashekharacharitramu.

Annamcharya is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Venkateswara's. <i>nandaka</i> (Sword). A rhyming couplet of poems called <i>dwipada</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">During his long and prolific career, Annamacharya composed and sang 32,000 Sankirtanas, 12 </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">Sataka</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">s (sets of hundred verses), Ramayana in the form of </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">dwipada</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">sankIrtana lakshaNam</i><span style="font-weight: bold;"> (Characteristics of </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">sankIrtana</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">s), </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">SRngAra manjari</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">, and </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">vEnkaTAchala mahAtmamyam</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">. His works were in Telugu, Sanskrit and a few other languages of India. Annamacharya wrote the </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">sankIrtana</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">s on palm leaves and later his son Tirumalacharya got them engraved on copper plates. But for reasons not known, most of these copper plates lay hidden in the Tirumala temple unnoticed for over 400 years. In 1922, twenty five hundred copper plates, comprising of about 14,000 </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">sankIrtana</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">s and a few other works, were found in a rock built cell, later named as </span><i style="font-weight: bold;">Sankirtana Bhandagaram</i><span style="font-weight: bold;">, opposite to the h</span><i style="font-weight: bold;">unDI </i>(donation box) . Ever since the discovery of this lost treasure, Tirumala Tirupati Devastanams (TTD) and other organizations in India are working hard to promote the music and literature of Annamacharya.</span>

The earliest accounts of Andhra Pradesh date back to the time of Ashoka the Great Mauriyan king ( 3rd century B.C.) during whose reign it became an important Buddhist center. Even today there still are good evidences of the early Buddhist influence in Amaravathi and Nagarjunakonda, one of the greatest archaeological sites in the India.<br />The Satavahana dynasty ( 2nd century BC 2nd century A.D), also known as the Andhras, took control of much of central and southern India. They had their capital at Amravati on the Krishna. They enjoyed extensive international trade with both eastern Asia and Europe. The Satavahanas too were great patrons of Buddhism. Subsequently, the Pallavas from Tamil Nadu, the Chalukyas from Karnataka, and the Cholas all held sway. In the 13th century, the Kakatiyas, with their capital at Warrangal, dominated Andhra Desa. They were under the constant threat from Muslim incursions, while later on, after the fall of their city at Hampi, the Hindu Vijayanagars transferred operations to Chandragiri near Tirupati.<br />In 1323, the Tughlak Sultan of Delhi captured the Kakatiya ruler and ended the dynasty. The Tuglaks never cared to annex the Kakatiyan dominions and four local kingdoms arose out of the old Kakatiyan empire. One of these kingdoms was Vijayanagar. The Vijayanagar empire stood as a bulwark against Muslim expansionism for more than 200 years. Vijayanagar had to contend with Muslim sultanates in the north time and again. Sometimes Vijayanagar joined on sultan against another. These tactics finally led to a grand alliance of the sultanates of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur, Golconda and Bihar against Vijayanagar. On 23rd January, 1565 the Deccan sultans humbled the mighty Vijayanagar army at the battle of Talikota.<br />The next significant development was in the mid 16th century, with the advent of the Muslim Qutb Shahi dynasty. The Qutb Shahis of Golconda laid the foundations of the modern city of Hyderabad. In 1687, the son of the Moghal emperor Aurangzeb routed the Qutub Shahis and seized Golconda. He appointed Asaf Jah the governor of Deccan. As the Mughal Empire tottered under Aurangzeb's successors, the Asaf Jahis made themselves independent rulers under the title of Nizam. Five years after Aurangzeb died in 1707, the Viceroy of Hyderabad declared independence and established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. In return for allying with the British against Tipu Sultan of Mysore, the Nizam was allowed to retain a certain degree of autonomy even after the British had come to dominate all India. The Nizams became involved in the Anglo-French wars in the Deccan and had finally to enter into a subsidiary alliance with the British in 1800.<br />Andhra Pradesh is the first state in India that has been formed on a purely linguistic basis. When India became independent, the Andhras, that is, the Telugu-speaking people (although Urdu is widely spoken in Hyderabad) were distributed in about 21 districts, 9 of them in the Nizam's Dominions and 12 in the Madras Presidency. On the basis of an agitation, on Oct. 1, 1953, 11 districts of the Madras State were put together to form a new Andhra State with Kurnool as capital. On Nov. 1, 1956 in accordance with the recommendations of the State Reorganization Commission, the Andhra State was enlarged by the addition of nine districts formerly in the Nizam's Dominion. Hyderabad, the former capital of the Nizam, was made the capital of the enlarged Andhra State.<br />AP thus consists of three distinct regions<br />coastal region, comprising of nine districts, generally called Andhra,<br />the interior region, consisting of four districts collectively known as Rayalaseema and<br />Telengana region, consisting of the capital Hyderabad and nine adjoining districts. From 1969 to 1972 AP was rocked by riots, first in Telengana, then in Andhra on the question of bifurcation of the state. The central Government refused to consider the question of bifurcation. A six-point formula was put forward by the then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi as a compromise. The formula was generally accepted and peace was restored in the state. The six-point formula has been incorporated into the Constitution as the Thirty-second Amendment in 1973.<br />In 1995, under pressure from militant wives upset with wasteful drinking habits of their men, the state government imposed a total ban on alcohol, making Andhra Pradesh India's second major dry state after <a href="http://www.travelmasti.com/domestic/gujarat/index.htm">Gujarat</a>. </div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;">Historical Information on Andhra Pradesh</span></div><br /><div align="justify">It is believed that the people of Andhra Pradesh basically belong to the Aryan race. They are said to have migrated to the south of the Vindhyas, where they mixed up with the non-Aryans. The history of Andhra Pradesh dates back to the time of Ashoka the Great Mauriyan king ( 3rd century B.C.). This state became an important Buddhist center during his reign. The evidences of the Buddhist influence can be seen in Amaravathi and Nagarjunakonda. These are regarded as one of the greatest archaeological sites in India. </div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">The Early Andhra Pradesh</span></div><br /><div align="justify">The earliest dynasty that ruled Andhra Pradesh was the Satavahana dynasty ( 2nd century BC 2nd century A.D), also known as the andhras. They were ruling much of central and southern India at that time. They established their capital at Amravati on the banks of river Krishna. They were very much indulged in international trade with both eastern Asia and Europe. The Satavahana kings were followers of Buddhism and they worked towards the welfare of this religion. Later, Andhra Pradesh was ruled by the Pallavas from Tamil Nadu, the Chalukyas from Karnataka, and the Cholas. The Kakaityas also ruled this state in 13th century and they established their capital at Warangal. This dynasty had to face several Muslim invasions. Later on, after the demolition of Hampi, the kings of Hindu Vijayanagar kingdom, shifted their base to Chandragiri near Tirupati.</div><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">The Muslim Expansion</span></div><br /><div align="justify">The Kakatiya dynasty ended in 1323, when the Tughlak Sultan of Delhi captured the Kakatiya ruler. After the death of Kakatiya empire, four local kingdoms arose out of the old Kakatiyan empire. One of these kingdoms was Vijayanagar. This empire was a strong empire which rose against the Muslim expansion for more than 200 years. Vijayanagar kings fought bravely with Muslim sultanates in the north, which was attacked by the invaders time and again. In order to weaken the Vijayanagar empire, many sultans joined one another. Finally a grand alliance of the sultanates of Ahmadnagar, Bijapur, Golconda and Bihar was formed against Vijayanagar. Thus, the Vijayanagar army was defeated on 23rd January, 1565 by the Deccan sultans at the battle of Talikota. Subsequently, in the mid 16 th century, the Muslim Qutb Shahi dynasty emerged. The foundation of the modern city of Hyderabad was laid by the Qutub Shahis of Golcunda. They were defeated by the son of the Moghal emperor Aurangzeb in 1687, who seized Golconda. He appointed Asaf Jah the governor of Deccan. Later, when the Mughal Empire was decaying under Aurangzeb's successors, the Asaf Jahis were collecting power to become independent rulers under the title of Nizam. Five years after the death of Aurangzeb, in 1707, Hyderabad was declared independent by its Viceroy and thus, established the Asaf Jahi dynasty of Nizams. The Nizams helped the British against Tipu Sultan of Mysore and therefore they were rewarded a certain degree of autonomy even at the timem, when the British dominated all India. The Nizams were also involved in the Anglo-French wars in the Deccan.
