Arikamedu is one of the most significant archaeological sites in southern India. It’s a defining feature of east coast maritime trade, especially the Indo-Roman trade.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
Tamil Nadu is oxymoron. A casteless social justice society where people vote for thier own caste and ‘lower’ castes supress other lower castes. Lies pervade and DMK rules using these lies and bad mouthing rest of India. Luck and inherited benefits from previous rulers governing well. No government will promote local culture. Only their own convenient lies.
Nationalism has always been suppressed or distorted by modern rulers. Especially the ones claiming liberal tendencies. They fear that if the past appears better or past ruler appear as role models to compare themselves to, the people will not give them power any more. Even DMK claims of focus on Tamil culture are really about focusing on what DMK icons are supposed to have done for people. The pure selfishness and hypocrisy of such politicians aided and abetted by so called academics seeking benefits from the ruling dispension is the cause of this neglect. ‘Religious importance’ was a veiled reference to BJP. But there is utter refusal to acknowledge the flaws of any left wing governments.
