I met an aunty at a local temple five years ago who was very nice and socialized with them. In the third meeting there was the question "Are you in TANA or ATA?", My response that I wasnt in either and I dont plan on joining them, put them off and havent heard from them since. As per the jet lagged of us who bring our casteism from the mortherland, kudos on irgnorance and generalizing and keep on working with TANA or ATA or BATA or whichever org. suits your parent's caste. All I want to do is attend and if possible help co-ordinate some good classical music/dance shows, some good food festivals and possibly literary get togethers... But I would not subscribe to any prejudices for that (face it, atleast three comments here are prejudiced against people like me who are 'FOBs') Kalyan... "mee notla mannu pada"... ROFLMAO Annoyed, I am glad that you do not have any prejudice against anyone just because they are form a particular caste, however, am kind of apalled at your dismissal of all ‘FOB’ uncles and aunts with their accents… for all the ‘Telugu’ feeling some ‘ABCD’s profess in these comments, I was and am welcomed into social circles of all kinds, including Japanese and Texan, but not fellow ABCDs.

These idiot Uncles and Aunts bring their ignorance, corruption, out-of-touch social values into these functions. Get over with these stupid, corrupted, 'ancient' organizations and get involved in community work in your adopted country (ex- USA, Canada, Germany, UK, Dubai and whatever.... ) and blend with the local culture.

I grew up here in the States on the East Coast in the 70's and 80's. We were thrilled to even have Indian friends, much less worry about whether they were Telugu or not. Those were the days when there were so few Indian families, that everyone knew everyone pretty much, especially if you were active in the commmunity. I echo the sentiment; we, the subsequent generations of Indian Americans, are proud to be Telugu, and we care about our families and our community. Caste has no bearing on our lives. So do us all a favor, and solve your problems. TANA has become an embarrassment to the Telugu community. Annoyed, you are so right about the FOB caste sentiment.

We find it amusing that all while we grew up participating in TANA/ATA and the various local TA's regardless of whatever our caste ethnicity is, that it is brought up ad nauseum. Usually by some ignorant F.O.B. For those of us brought up here, we know what our ethnic background is, Hindu/Telugu/Kamma/Brahmin/Reddy etc. and it has the caste thing for most of us has very little bearing on us. We have more important things to worry about than what some thickly accented uncle in a mixture of pidgin English and Telugu is frothing at the mouth about. WE do not care about "Chiru" or the TDP or all the other nonsense. We're busy trying to hang on to our cultural heritage in the face of the pressures we deal with on an everyday basis growing up in the States. I guess we're the new caste, the telugu americans, and we're quite tired of the mob of fobs with the crazy Indian politics, the caste nonsense that they bring with them from India, and their annoying conduct during functions. The next generations will be just fine, we see this crap with the aunties and uncles for what it is. Don't worry about us. Though if you'd like to spend some time worry about stuff how about asking both parties what exactly they're doing? Why are they endorsing two different conventions, why have they signed two different contracts? Why are they abusing each other? Do they understand how to read the bylaws that are posted? Does either possess a Robert's Rules and do they need someone to translate it to them? Also, FYI IRS audits are usually taken several years after irregularities arise, weren't the people in charge of stuff just shuffled around a bit then? Also why is there such a dearth of information out there that is not horrifically biased? Why are all these outside idiots chiming in with their "kamma" hating? You people who've never been to the states, and who're still recovering from jet lag after arriving here just don't get it. Before the FOB mob descended here, bringing with them their myopic antiquated views, that we were a community that, while aware of our different caste identities got along quite well together? That those of us who grew up here think of our neighbors be they Brahmin, Reddy, Kamma or whatever are part of our extended family? Stop injecting all this hate into it, and look at what happened here. Since the situation is being all murked up by the various frothing onlookers injecting their idiocy, how about holding the GB and the Kakarala Gang accountable? Interestingly enough posted here are all the so-called articles posted online that are biased towards the rogue ex president, there are others out there that question what they are doing, their logic and the logic of the GB. Perhaps this is the American part of me overcoming the Telugu part, but how about some dialogue and some accountability for the crazy things that are coming out? Instead of last minute meetings, secret e-mails and cross fire of press releases that seem to be written by retarded monkeys? Or is that just a little too much to ask?
