CM Naidu at World Telugu conference 'no language is superior or inferior'

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Monday said that no language is superior or inferior to another and called upon people across the country to respect each other's languages. 

Addressing the fourth World Telugu Conference here, Naidu asserted that those who study in their mother tongue tend to excel. "People should respect each other's languages. 

No language is greater or lesser



than another," the chief minister said, adding that technology does not erode languages but instead helps in their preservation.

While observing that English is necessary, the TDP supremo said forgetting one's mother tongue amounts to forgetting one's identity. 

Despite the presence of hundreds of languages in the country, Naidu said Telugu, being one of the six classical languages, is a matter of pride.
