Telugus in India who were migrated and settled in Myanmar 200 years back are still following their culture and it is very surprising to know that the second official language in schools is Telugu in this region. With this we can assess that huge population of Telugus are living in Myanmar country and as per the statistics around 2 lakhs Telugus are living in Myanmar. Every one has two names one of Burmese and another one is Telugu. Myanmar Capital Yangon has Seven storied building for Telugu association and has a library named Sri Yogi Vemana Library. Electricity is very cheap in this country. Lord Venkateswara and Srirama temples are found every where in Myanmar and Telugu cultured Jataras take place very often in Telugu regions of Myanmar.
Irrespective of their professions Telugus in Moulmein live together and their hearts ooze with love and affection and the youth in this region are still preferring Telugu girls for marriage. It has a street named in Telugu called as 'Malle Poola Dibba'. All the houses in this street are of Telugus and Telugu music is sung during the functions. These people does not have direct connections with Andhra Pradesh. Till 1964 Telugu was the second language and now these schools are closed due to military rule after 1964 and the population reduced from 10 lakhs to 2 lakhs.
i have heard the same type of stories from Fiji also. One i meat an elderly person (70+ years) of Fiji origin, hear at Australia and he was very found of Telugu. apparently his mother tongue is Telugu. I hear similar stories form South Africa too!
