Telugu Literature is a popular optional for all the aspirants who are well-versed in this language.

The success rate of many engineering graduates, who have liking for the subject, indicates that the subject
is easy, provided one has the aptitude for the subject.

Nagaraju Sir's notes (available in the Srinivasa Xerox Center near Ashok nagar X roads, Hyderabad)
Andhra Bhasha Charithra (by Badriraju Krishnamurty) (only if you have time to read)
Vakyam (by Chekuri Ramarao) (only if you have time to read)
You can either pick ancient (1 – 4) or medieval (5 – 8) sections,...... and reading Modern (9 – 12) and
Janapada sahityam compulsorily.
Nagaraju Sir's notes (available in the Srinivasa Xerox Center near Ashok nagar X roads, Hyderabad)
Andhra Sahitya Charitra (by Nagayya) (very big book. Read only if you have time).
Paper – 2
This is a difficult paper compared to Paper – I, but also very scoring. For this paper, I feel coaching is
necessary, especially for the ones who don't understand Kavya style of writing.
Also, this paper includes writing Vyakhyanas for different padyalu both ancient and modern.
1. You can read (Dushyanta Charitra) Nannayya, (Sri Krishna Rayabaram) Tikkana, (Gunanidhi katha)
Srinathudu, (Sugatri Saleenula Katha) Pingali Soorana.
2. You can ignore Molla Ramayanam and last notes.
Syllabus and text notes of all the chapters (from Navodaya Book House, Koti or Sree Book Square,
Kachiguda X Road).
Nagaraju Sir's notes
Akella Raghavendra book on Telugu Literature Paper – II.
They are commentaries available on each syllabus chapter in Navodaya Book House. But read this, after
you get sufficient time and after completion of syllabus.
There are two ways to read this section. Read the poetry syllabus of chapters for both Vyakhyanas and
Long Answers. Or read poetry syllabus for Vyakhyanas and read prose sections of Gurajada kathalu,
Alpajeevi and NGO for Long answers.
The choice will be yours. Its better to read Sri Sri - Maha Prastanam and Jashuva - Gabbilam for both
Vyakhyanas and Long answers.
1. Syllabus and text notes of all the chapters (from Navodaya Book House, Koti or Sree Book Square,
Kachiguda X Road).
2. Nagaraju Sir's notes
3. Akella Raghavendra book on Telugu Literature Paper – II.
4. They are commentaries available on each syllabus chapter in Navodaya Book House. But read this, after

First look at the previous question papers and write down all the questions per topic one after other, so
that you can get an idea of questions asked. All the topics can be related to - Kala Soundarya Drukpatham,
Charithraka Samajaka Drukpatham, Manastatatva Drukpatham, Tatvika Drukpatham, Vyaktitvam
(character - sketch), Relevance and importance of the topic in literature and so on.
So, prepare points on each topic rather than answers for each topic.
These points you can use to write answers depending on the question asked.
Prepare nice introductions and nice endings for each general topic.
Read the text number of times. especially poetry so that you get command of the subject and also to write
quotes in the exam.
Quotations will surely enhance your answers..
Vyakhyanas:
1. All the topics can be related to - Kala Soundarya Drukpatham, Charithraka Samajaka Drukpatham,
Manastatatva Drukpatham, Tatvika Drukpatham
2. You have to develop a base in all the above topics, so that you can write easily for any poem asked.
3. Give introduction, Sandarbam, bhavam and start the vyakhyanam and then ending.
4. For kala soundarya Drukpatham, one has to know all about the Rasam, Dhvani, Vakrokti etc.
5. Develop important points for all the Vrutha poems (4 lined poems) and then write important points for all
the other poems if you have time.
6. Do write at least 5 vyakhyanas for all the 4 drukpathams before the exam so that you are sufficiently
confident.

Everything written above was a copy paste job.There are certain optionals in UPSC (literature/physics/chemistry
etc) about which there is rarely any info available on internet hence I copy pasted so whoever searching for it, can
read this. Please don't ask me questions as Telugue isn't my language nor my optional subject.
