In a bold move, the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government has replaced the official Rupee symbol (₹) with a Tamil letter for ‘Ru’ in its 2025-26 Budget logo, intensifying the ongoing language row. The decision, seen as a protest against the National Education Policy (NEP), marks the first instance of a state rejecting the national currency symbol. Chief Minister M K Stalin’s government has consistently opposed policies seen as imposing Hindi or Sanskrit over regional languages. The Tamil Nadu Budget 2025-26 will be presented in the Assembly on March 14 and live-streamed at 100 locations in Chennai. Language Row in Tamil Nadu: Pro-Tamil Activists Blacken Hindi Words Painted in Nameboard at Pollachi Junction Railway Station (Watch Video).
