During the trial of a case seeking an order to the Tamil Nadu government to make it mandatory to write names in pure Tamil on the name plates of companies in Tamil Nadu, the judges have questioned equivalent Tamil word for the word ‘model’ mentioned in the ‘Dravidian Model’ that is peddled by the DMK government.
Thirumurugan, a lawyer from Ramanathapuram, had filed a petition in the Madurai branch of the High Court seeking a direction to Tamil Nadu government to make it mandatory to write names in pure Tamil on the name boards of companies in Tamil Nadu.
The judges hearing the case inquired, “What action has been taken against the companies that violated the Tamil Nadu government order mandating Tamil text in company name boards?”.
They also directed the Labour Welfare Secretary to submit a detailed report on the matter and postponed the hearing until February 16.
Following that, Jusdges stated, “Currently, the term ‘Dravidian Model’ is being used frequently. In the Dravidian Model, what is the Tamil equivalent of the English word ‘model’?”
Judges also questioned, “Why should they use an English word model when a complete Tamil word can be used for Dravida Model?”
