Media headlines today are fully populated with coverage on Balakrishna’s 100th film which is observed to be on Historical concept of Vijayanagara Empire. Till now, everything is fine and along with Fans even audience were feeling great about producer Yalamanchi Sai Baba’s brave decision. Problem rose with these half cooked stories and half knowledge of writers who interpreted that Vijayanagara Empire belonged to the time period of 1300 to 1700 BC. In fact, they ruled in between AD 1300 to 1700.
‘So sad because Vijayanagara was the last great Hindu Empire in entire India and our Telugu people doesn’t know even the era which it belonged to. BC means Before Christ and AD means Anno Domini (After the Death of Jesus). During the times when there is a fall of Kakatiya Empire, Muslim invaders created insecurity among Hindus of South. To rise against the on slaughter of Islam, Vijayanagara Empire was formed in present Rayalaseema area where as original home belonged to Warangal. This happened in AD and not in BC. Please don't misrepresent the history,’ said unhappy Nandamuri Fans calling to our office. Great…NBK Fans are equally knowledge-full with History and Culture of Telugu as their Hero. We take a bow sir...
