Rupee Symbol, Replaced in Tamil Nadu, Designed by Tamilian

The Tamil Nadu government's recent decision to replace the Indian rupee symbol with a new logo, the Tamil alphabet 'Ru', has sparked significant political controversy amid ongoing language tensions. Chief Minister MK Stalin unveiled the logo during the Budget 2025-26 presentation, attracting sharp criticism from the Opposition, particularly the Tamil Nadu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which deemed the move "condemnable and laughable." Ironically, the original rupee symbol was designed by Tamilian D. Udaya Kumar in 2010, selected from over 3,000 entries, blending Indian and Roman letters to symbolize the currency. Currently a professor at IIT Guwahati, Kumar expressed pride in his creation but emphasized that designers must be prepared for criticism, stating that he views the government's decision as a challenge rather than a slight against his work. His design incorporates elements reflecting the national flag and the concept of equality, officially adopted on July 15, 2010. sources

Tamil Minister Links Liquor Corruption Claims to Hindi Row

Tamil Nadu Excise Minister V Senthil Balaji has vehemently rejected the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) allegations of irregularities and a potential Rs 1,000 crore fraud within the Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (TASMAC), the state-run liquor sales agency. Balaji asserted that the ED's claims are politically motivated, aiming to undermine the Tamil Nadu government ahead of the upcoming budget speech and state elections. He emphasized that the alleged irregularities pertain to external bottling firms, asserting that TASMAC's tender processes were conducted transparently and online across 24 districts. The ED, following recent raids, claimed to have uncovered evidence of manipulated tenders and unaccounted cash transactions linked to distilleries. The accusations have sparked a political uproar, with opposition parties, including the AIADMK, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister MK Stalin's government, suggesting that the corruption could be as high as Rs 40,000 crore. Balaji's legal team is also preparing to address questions regarding his controversial reinstatement as minister. sources

First 'Supersolid' Made from Light: A Major Discovery

In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers have successfully transformed light into a "supersolid," marking a significant advancement in physics. This innovative phase of matter, which merges the properties of solids and superfluids, was detailed in a study published in _Nature_ on March 5. The team, including co-author Iacopo Carusotto from the National Institute of Optics, describes the supersolid as a fluid of coherent quantum droplets arranged in a stable spatial configuration, capable of flowing without disturbances. This discovery has the potential to revolutionize fields such as quantum computing, materials science, and energy storage. Senior researcher Dimitrios Trypogeorgos emphasized that this represents a novel approach to supersolidity, while Daniele Sanvitto noted its significance in bridging fundamental science with practical applications. Co-author Dario Gerace highlighted the potential for exploring the unique properties of this state in semiconductor nanostructures, paving the way for new light-emitting devices. sources

Tamil Nadu Budget: "2-Language Policy Has Led Us To

In a heated session of the Tamil Nadu Assembly, Finance Minister Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan criticized the BJP-led central government over the alleged withholding of ₹2,150 crore in funds for the _Samagra Shiksha_ education scheme, linking it to the ongoing language dispute concerning the National Education Policy (NEP) and claims of 'Hindi imposition.' Chief Minister MK Stalin labeled the central government's stance as "blackmail," asserting the state's commitment to its successful two-language policy of Tamil and English. The DMK's recent decision to replace the rupee symbol with a Tamil letter in budget materials sparked further controversy, with BJP leaders condemning it as a "secessionist" act. Amidst this backdrop, Stalin has called for a coalition of opposition leaders from seven states to counter proposed delimitation efforts, which the DMK argues would diminish the political representation of southern states, while the BJP maintains that no seats will be lost. sources
