Highlights
Telangana Government declaring ‘Bonalu’ and ‘Bathukamma’ as the state festival and demand all the IT companies to revise the Holiday List of 2014
The Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA) welcomes the decision of Telangana Government declaring ‘Bonalu’ and ‘Bathukamma’ as the state festival and demand all the IT companies to revise the Holiday List of 2014 Calendar year by adding these two festivals. Earlier this year on 03rd Jan 2014, TITA demanded the IT companies to add Telangana Festivals Bathukamma and Bonalu in their 'List of Holidays' for the Calendar year 2014.
“The ‘Bathukamma’ festival is one of the most auspicious and unique festival of Telangana region celebrated mainly by the women. Celebrated during Navarathris (September-October) it honours goddess Gouri on the name of Bathukamma. ‘Bathukamma’ means ‘Come alive Mother Goddess’. Bathukamma, the spring festival, is the second largest festival after Dasara or Vijaya Dashami in Telangana Region. ‘Bonalu’, a vibrant and unique folk festival, is celebrated in twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad and other parts of the region during the month of 'Ashada' (July-August) on Sunday and followed by ‘Rangam’ program on Monday. TITA demands holidays to be declared on Bathukamma Festival and on Monday, the next day of Bonalu, as the people also hold 'rangam' or forecasting the future, organize processions and cultural events.” said TITA Founder & President Sundeep Kumar Makthala.
Makthala said that, TITA also notified the same to IT Minister Mr. KT Rama Rao to ensure that IT companies in Telangana state should add Telangana Festivals in their 2014 list of Holidays and should be considered as Mandatory Regional Holidays.
“Telangana language, literature, history and culture are being subjected to massive discrimination and degradation. United AP Governments deliberately neglected the Telangana festivals and did not incorporate the history of Telangana and its culture in the text book syllabus. The Telangana Information Technology Association (TITA) requested the Ministry of Education to include these festivals in the text book syllabus.” Said Sundeep Makthala
