💨 Abstract

Tamil actor Kasthuri Shankar was arrested in Hyderabad for making controversial comments targeting the Telugu-speaking community in Tamil Nadu. Political experts view her comments as a larger attempt by the Right-wing to challenge Dravidian culture in Tamil Nadu by creating divisions. Her comments, made at a Right-wing event, questioned Telugu people's claim to Tamil identity and suggested they came from courtesans who served kings.
