| To err is human
and to accept it and rectify it, is modesty
Congratulations for a grand celebration of the event by your Association
Here my sincere request
Kindly make efforts that your next generation in your area do write and read telugu in telugu script and not in english script
If they do so already, my appology for this suggestion.

Dear Mr. Rajeshwar
Thank you for noticing the mistake which was not intentially. No one noticed this inlcuding us, 350 audiences, photographers, editors etc.
Here is a note from porgram coordinator:
Note to Rajeswar from the Coordinator of the event: We didn’t do intentionally as you have noticed the other two boys holding Indian Flags in the right way. However, it was a mistake; I sincerely apologize for this mistake as a coordinator of the event. We really appreciate your comments and input on this event.
I on behalf of GITA sincerely apologize for the mistake.
We will replace that picture.
Thank you
Raju Chinthala

First of all, Greater Indianapolis Telugu Association (GITA) owes an apology to the Indian Diaspora. In the first snap of the article posted in T.P.com, one can see the lead artist (female) holding Indian flag upside down, in a cultural program organized by GITA. Though inadvertent, it is an inexcusable, first-order mistake. The worse part is that they do not even realize this fundamental mistake and shamelessly reproduce the snap in sites like T.P.com, without a note of errata.
When the official vehicle of Pakistan’s president Musharaf displayed Indian flag upside down, during his two visits to India, our national press suspected that the repeated ‘mistake’ could be intentional. Later, Musharaf’s officials gave an explanation - for diplomatic reasons at least.
I reiterate that Mr. Raju Chinthala, and Dr. Siva Prasad Kumpatala of Greater Indianapolis Telugu Association (GITA), or whosoever is responsible for that event must apologize to all Indians for insulting the national flag. Even the editor of T.P.com owes a public apology to the Indian Diaspora for publishing such a photograph without proper editing.
