The Tamil Nadu government’s decision to replace the Indian Rupee symbol (₹) with the Tamil letter ‘ரூ’ in the state budget logo has reignited the language debate in India.

This move, led by Chief Minister M K Stalin, aligns with Tamil Nadu’s stance against the imposition of Hindi and reflects the ongoing resistance to the National Education Policy (NEP), which the state government views as “saffronized.”
