The Tamil Nadu government, under Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, replaced the Indian Rupee (₹) symbol with the Tamil letter ‘ரூ’ in the state budget logo, reinforcing Tamil linguistic pride.
This move is seen as part of Tamil Nadu’s broader resistance against the imposition of Hindi and the National Education Policy (NEP), which the state considers a threat to its linguistic and cultural identity.
