flag Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi criticized state politics driven by Tamil linguistic superiority, citing declining Tamil education and cultural neglect.

flag Tamil Nadu Governor R. N. Ravi said state politics are driven by "Tamil exceptionalism," a belief in Tamil linguistic superiority that fuels hostility toward other languages, including Dravidian ones and Hindi. flag He criticized the DMK government for overreacting to a 2024 Doordarshan incident where the word "Dravida" was omitted from the Tamil anthem, calling the response excessive. flag Ravi highlighted declining enrollment in Tamil-medium schools, lack of funding for Tamil language research, and the deteriorating condition of over 1.1 million unpreserved palm-leaf manuscripts. flag He also stated he walked out of the January Assembly session to uphold constitutional protocol requiring the national anthem’s playing, emphasizing his duty despite personal cost.
