The present volume is designed to investigate and prepare the sources for the reconstruction of history and culture of the Telugu speaking people in a comprehensive manner from 5000 BC till the present times, AD 2016. As is commonly known, sources constitute the essential basis for the reconstruction of the past. Their significance is well articulated by historians and practitioners of history. It is needless to further stress that the past cannot be recorded or analysed without the help of sources.
