| Summary, etc | The Thiruparankundram controversy in Tamil Nadu is a site of communal mobilisation and political strategy rather than a mere religious or legal dispute. Hindu nationalist organisations have sought to transform an administrative and judicial intervention into a civilisatioanl conflict, projecting the site as a potential “Ayodhya of Tamil Nadu” to advance electoral polarisation. While the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam government resisted overt communal escalation at the institutional level, Hindutva’s expansion primarily operates through cultural and social mobilisation beyond electoral politics.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/17/commentary/sacred-geography-and-political-imagination.html |
