India: A Critical Perspective from Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu is unique among the states of India. It is the southern-most state of India. There was an independence movement in Tamil Nadu before the British rulers left, and in fact, its independence demand precedes that of Pakistan. Although this movement had softened in the past few decades, there is still a hardcore underground independence movement still active and alive (click here for more information). Although there is opposition to Hindi imposition in most southern and northeastern states, opposition in Tamil Nadu is very intense and sometimes violent (click here for more information). India's support for the Sri Lankan government during the war between Sri Lankan military and minority Tamils of Sri Lanka created much discontent with the Indian government and demonstrations in Tamil Nadu in the first decade of the 21st century. There was even a threat of all members of parliament from Tamilnadu resigning. An emergency meeting of a senior Indian government minister with the Tamilnadu chief minister prevented the resignations. (click here for more information). Another issue of discontent and irritation is the Sri Lankan navy attacks on Tamil Nadu fishermen in the seas. (click here for more information). Tamil Nadu also feels that the Indian government's economic policies are discriminatory against them (click here for more information).
