India is probably one of the very few countries globally that have a stronghold on regional Literature. Various cultures, languages, dialects and traditions often result in multiple stories. The folklore that India has, ranging from the Himalayas to Vindhyas, Easter and the Western Ghats, The Deccan Plateau region and so on, have all contributed to the regional Literature. Often, regional literature laureates are also seen translating their works into the most available languages. It is also a known fact that Indian Literature stands as the mirror of Indian culture, quintessential of its exceedingly rich prehistoric tradition. This also includes the regional Literature. The sublime influence the myths, superstitions, fables and stories have been beautifully cocooned into mainstream Literature. Hence, it can be said that the regional Literature in India is not only long but rich!
While the regional Literature sustains in its form in many places, the socioeconomic conditions post the Independence have also been given an ideal place. The invasions that happened have had a long-lasting influence on Indian Literature. This influence has spread over almost all the states in India. Down South, apart from the mighty Tamilian and Malayalam literature, including Kannada literature that falls under the Dravidian Literature, the Telugu literature also has an important place. The evolution and historical maturation of Telugu literature generally divided into six periods, namely:
1. The pre-Nannaya period (up to A.D. 1020),
2. The Age of the Puranas (1020 1400),
3. The Age of Srinatha (1400 - 1510),
4. The Age of the Prabandhas (1510 - 1600),
5. The Southern period (1600 - 1820) and,
6. The Modern Period (since 1820).
