You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Moturi''' '''Satyanarayana''' (2 February 1902 – 6 March 1995) was an Indian independence activist alongside [[Mohandas Gandhi]] until 1947 and then a member of the [[Constituent Assembly of India]] which drafted the [[Indian Constitution]]. He was a nominated member of the [[Rajya Sabha]] till 1966.<ref name="The Rajya Sabha Site">((cite web|title=Nominated members since 1952|url=http://164.100.47.5/Newmembers/since1952.aspx|publisher=Rajya Sabha Secretariat, New Delhi|access-date=6 January 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120101172706/http://164.100.47.5/Newmembers/since1952.aspx|archive-date=1 January 2012|url-status=dead))</ref> He was instrumental in making [[Hindi]] an official language in the Indian Constitution, while tolerating the other major Indian languages. He devoted his later life to helping spread Hindi in South India.

==Early life, family, and education==
Moturi Satyanarayana was born in a [[Kamma (caste)|Kamma]] family in Dondapadu village near [[Gudivada]] in [[Krishna district]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]]. After his primary education, he studied English, Telugu, and Hindi at the National College in Machilipatnam, achieving a high proficiency in them.  He joined the [[Dakshin Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha]] as a volunteer and gradually became the Secretary and Principal Secretary of that organisation. A major mission in his life would be to efficiently promote the growth of Hindi in [[South India]] between 1936 and 1961. He married Suryakanta Devi and had three sons and four daughters with her.

==Activism in the Indian independence movement (1925–1947)==
Moturi Satyanarayana participated in [[Quit India Movement]] in 1942 and was jailed. 
  
During this time, he was an active promoter of the Hindi language. He was the Editor of "Hindi Pracharak" (1926–36), "Hindi Prachar Samachar" (1938–61) and Dakshina Bharat (1947–61). He organised many Institutions all over India such as "Dakshina Bharata Hindi Prachara Sabha" of Madras (1926–61). He was the founding secretary of "Telugu Basha Samithi" of Madras and Hyderabad.

==Framer of the Indian Constitution (1948–1950)<ref>((Cite web|url=http://cadindia.clpr.org.in/|title=CADIndia|website=cadindia.clpr.org.in|access-date=2018-03-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329161051/http://cadindia.clpr.org.in/|archive-date=29 March 2019|url-status=dead))</ref>==
After India became independent from Britain, Moturi was a member of the [[Constituent Assembly of India]] from 1948–50. He served as a Member of the Drafting Committee of the Indian Constitution for its Language Section. He was a key figure<ref>((Cite web|url=http://cadindia.clpr.org.in/constituent_assembly_members/moturi_satyanarayana|title=CADIndia|website=cadindia.clpr.org.in|access-date=2018-03-20))</ref> in the divisive debates on: what to make the official language of India (Hindi, English, or a number of local languages such as Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, etc.) how to set up a pluralistic civil service examination system; and how to balance local languages with national languages at different levels of government. He [http://cadindia.clpr.org.in/constitution_assembly_debates/volume/9/1949-09-14?paragraph_number=185#9.140.185 advocated] for drafting of the Constitution in Indian languages first.

==Member of India's Parliament (1950–1966)==
After Indian Independence, from 1950–52, Moturi was a member of the Provisional Parliament of India as an MP.  After the Indian Constitution was drafted, Moturi was nominated by the [[President of India]] as a [[Rajya Sabha]] (Upper House) member.  He served twice between 1954 and 1966 (3 April 1954 to 2 April 1960 and 3 April 1960 to 2 April 1966).  He was also a member of: the Madras Legislative Council (1952–54); the Central Advisory Board of Education of the Govt. of India; the Madras University Senate (1952–53); the Central Official Languages Commission (1954–56).

==Scholarly interests and propagation of Hindi through India==
Moturi had many scholarly interests. He was the chief editor of Encyclopedia on Social Sciences in Hindi published by the Hindi Vikas Samithi, Madras. He was the founding secretary of the Telugu Bhasha Samiti. He also founded the Hindi Vikas Samiti and published 'Vishwa Vignana Samhita.' Finally, Moturi was an editor for a comprehensive encyclopaedia published in his native language of Telugu called ''Telugu Vignana Sarvasvamu''.

==Awards==
Later in his life, Moturi won many awards. He was a recipient of the [[Padma Shri]] award in 1954 and the [[Padma Bhushan]] award in 1962,<ref name="Padma Awards">((cite web | url=http://mha.nic.in/sites/upload_files/mha/files/LST-PDAWD-2013.pdf | title=Padma Awards | publisher=Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India | date=2015 | access-date=July 21, 2015))</ref> both from the Government of India.  [[Andhra University]] honoured him with its [[Kala Prapoorna]] award in 1977.
==Death==

Moturi lived to the age of 93.  When a family member asked the nonagenarian Moturi about the secret of his longevity, his brief response was:  "Listen more, eat less."

==Legacy==
As an activist for Indian Independence, a framer of the Indian Constitution, and a Parliamentarian, Moturi was a key figure in India's political history.  However, some people criticise his decision to support Hindi, and not English, as the official language of India.  The awkward provisions in the Indian Constitution and a later push by pro-Hindi hardliners led to "language riots" in the 1960s in southern states such as Tamil Nadu, where more than 60 people died.  Several students immolated themselves protesting the forced use of Hindi as the national language.  While English has become the de facto national language of India by 2010, the Indian Constitution has continued to serve as the fundamental basis of the India's polity and society and its drafting was a major accomplishment.
