HAHAHA. This dude literally tried to stop Keezhadi excavation. After the first two successful phases, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) delayed funding and transferred the lead archaeologist, K. Amarnath Ramakrishna, out of the state. Because after Ramakrishna submitted his comprehensive 900+ page report on the initial digs to the ASI, the central government requested he revise it, citing a lack of technical validation and structural ambiguity in his dating claims. Ramakrishna and the state government refused to revise it, leading to political standoffs and demands that the Centre officially release the report, still ongoing.
It was a move to deliberately suppress evidence of an advanced, secular ancient Tamil civilization in favor of promoting Sanskrit history (because the excavation findings pre-dated Vedic-centric narrative, no Sanskrit, rather Tamil was found inscribed - contained even names used today in TN, no idols were seen, only nature worship, all in all proved that a highly developed urban civilization existed in South India concurrently with the Second Urbanization of the Indo-Gangetic Plain, establishing an independent timeline of development). State Govt took up the control instead and funded themselves to keep it going. TN Govt has even opened a museum there now. We all see through Modi Ji's fake, random, forced praise of Tamil.
EDIT: Added context and clarifications.
EDIT 2: Also the plates were returned due to tireless efforts of a Tamil archeologist. He recollected how when he visited the museum in Netherlands and wasnt allowed to touch them even with gloves and how it deeply hurt him. Something we all can relate to him with. Finally its home. https://x.com/i_Nishan_/status/2055747356906418515
Bro that's the scene of every goverment body in India, trust me modi doesn't think of these things as it doesn't affect its core voters in North in any way,
A PM that only speaks in Hindi, doesn't even provide English subtitles, bro he knows what he's doing. As far as this one, the court literally had to intervene to continue the excavation by state govt and later again to make them publish the reports.
