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.

But there is utter refusal to acknowledge the flaws of any left wing governments.
