Nalamotu - Ignore - Don't make him hero

http://myteluguflowers.wordpress.com/
Yesterday, some activists from the Telangana Martyrs organization disturbed the launch “Mana Telugu Talli” – Telugu version of Nalamotu’s book ‘My Telugu Roots’.
I think this action only helps popularize Nalamotu’s book. Since his English book hardly sold 70 copies, I don’t think the Telugu version will fare any better. (Interesting Tidbit – people are already selling ‘second-hand’ copies of “My Telugu Roots” on Amazon. Some people seem to have understood pretty soon that this book is not worth keeping in their book shelves!)
Telugu media doesn’t really care about book launch meetings. Some stringer generally attends such meetings and posts a 5 line news item in the 13th page of the district special tabloid.
By disrupting Nalamotu’s book launch, the issue became front page news. And I am sure Nalamotu would be the most happiest person. He can now sell at least a couple of hundred books.
I request all Telangana friends to just take it easy. Not many people outside the WWW know of Nalamotu. Don’t make him and his book popular by protesting. His works are not worth wasting your time.
Leave that task to people like us. We will expose how ignorant he is about the whole issue and what kind of lies he is peddling in the name of “Telugu Roots”
By the way, just thought of telling you guys that with much difficulty, I finally managed to procure (Read “Buy”) Nalamotu’s “My Telugu Roots” in the US of A.
Wait, I know what you guys will ask me next.
“Sitting in Hyderabad, why did you procure the book all the way from US?”
So, our dear friend doesn’t “Sell” the book in India!
And what’s more, he sells it only “Online”!!
And we have to pay in “Dollars”!!!
C’mon – You must be kidding – A book written about Telugu Jaathi (Race, Tribe XYZ) in English, not sold in Andhra Pradesh (even India), not sold in Indian Rupees.
Hmm! Nalamotu garu… Who will believe your commitment in the light of such facts?

Rhetoric By Bharath K. Jannu
this book is more of propaganda and tries take advantage of the current controversy. the author is particularly bad in math and lacks scientific thought - his stats using percentage as a decision is flawed. he makes claims without any supporting statement, even justice srikrishna More...rebutts his claims. author's shear lack political correctness got him a shoe thrown at. ...Shrink
