14.6.2 Modern Telugu and Urdu literature: major writers, works, Jnanpith and Sahitya Akademi awardees

Modern Telangana literature grew out of the Telugu awakening under the Nizams (Madapati, Suravaram), found its fire in the armed-struggle years (Dasarathi, Kaloji, Vattikota, Rangacharya), reached the Jnanpith with C. Narayana Reddy (1988), and sits beside a rich Hyderabad Urdu tradition from Daagh to Makhdoom; its best-known honours are Suravaram's first Telugu Sahitya Akademi award (1955), CiNaRe's Jnanpith and Kaloji's Padma Vibhushan (1992).
