1.15.3 Telugu poetry movements: Bhava kavitvam to progressive, Digambara and Dalit poetry

Twentieth-century Telugu poetry moved in waves: the romantic bhava kavitvam (from 1913), the progressive abhyudaya poetry led by Sri Sri (1930s–40s), the revolutionary and Digambara poets (1960s–70s), and feminist and Dalit poetry (1980s–90s), each answering the politics of its time.
