They cannot diferenciate between meters in a poem -geeta-padyam or kanda-padyam. Of course, it is not a crime, if one is unaware of such literary nuances or intricacies. However , to think that there is no need for learning those nuances and technicalities is certainly , gross rudeness and a case of bad-judgement." "The radicals and progressives have failed to recognise that it is possible to keep alive classical literature , while opposing the decadent values they stood for, by appreciating that the belief-systems espoused by the classical literature are not absolute truths but mere fantasy- creations of the human mind." "Imperialism - Colonialism are the opiates that have drowned our belief-systems.They would not spare any culture or values. Let us hence salvage what ever good is left of our ancient culture." "Classical literature is the priceless gift of our forefathers.That wealth can be put to good use even in this day and time to serve us.Discarding Classical literature as being of no use to us reflects our own worthlessness and utter incapacity and incapability to make use of it. " Some of his well known works are "A Gramatical Sketch of Telugu", "Rendu padula paina", "Cheratalu", "Telugulo velugulu" etc.. He received Sahitya Academy award for his essays 'Smrti Kinankam' in 2002.

Olga is a well known Telugu writer. She was born in Guntur, one of the big towns and educational centers in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Her stories, novels, and poetry reflect well-articulated feminist positions without compromising either the quality of literary form or failing to represent the ‘reality' of the characters. In her poetry, metaphor not only facilitates form but also celebrates the ‘ideas' depicted. Through her works Olga created a constituency of readers among both men and women. Chalam and Kodavatiganti Kutumbarao (forerunners of feminism in Telugu literature) influenced her, but she discovered a distinct style in whatever she wrote and a place for herself in Telugu literary world. The literary context of her characters is never a product of circumstance but a consequence of the hard choices they make.
