Yes thats correct Vinoth,
I don't know how these guys are thinking reversely! I am from a Telugu family! my mother is Telugu and my father is Tamil.
I have been born and brought up along with my mother's family, till to the age of 10.
And for an information, Telugu is an of-shot of Tamil and Prakrit, "Not Sanskrit". Its not 70% Sanskrit but Prakrit.
Puranic Andra's were not Telugu's they didn't spoked Telugu language! They spoked Prakrit.
The present day Andra Pradesh is just formed by adding Hyderabad provinces with the north Part of the Madras presidency!
Don't take in consideration with the present name of Andra and the Puranic Andra!
When your elders was is confusion to make a new name for there state they choosed a name what was early called this area "Andra".
Telugu's were always part of Tamil kingdoms or Chalukyas! they had there land only after declination of Chola's, in the late 1300 CE.
"Remember that most of the kings ruling south of Inida were actual, Rajput warriors from all over Bharat." What kind of Research is this? can you show me a single Map of India that shows Tamils were part of Any Rajput kings. Go to wikipedia and search for Ancient India maps you will see that the Land of Tamils were always rule by Tamils, till the declination of Pandya at 1400 CE.
Just for the past 550 years only the Land has been ruled by Moguls, Vijaya's and British.
"Telugu and Kannada were one" how? do the Kannada's know this? if you are talking about the script of Telugu and Kannada, please check with the scripts of
Sinhala, Thai, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Philiphanian too. They are also you brothers and sisters because your mother is Tamil.
"Even Tamil is based on sanskrit, like the rest of the Indian languages", Can you prove it?
Tamil is the only Indian Language which has its Own Grammer, Culture, Medicine, Literature, Tradition. Its not the case of any other language in India.
"SANSKRIT_tamil" good joke, in these day we have lots of English words in Tamil, so can we call "ENGLISH_tamil" instead?
Sanskrit was the major language spoken in trade around South and South East Asia on that Period.
So just like English there was a little bit of Sanskrit loan words. All technical terms in Tamil are Tamil only they are not Sanskrit.
This is not the case for any other Indian Languages, even Hindi or Bengali.
