‘Nandhan' sparks social transformation, Sasikumar and director Saravanan express happiness, video goes viral
The 79th Independence Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country on Friday (15.08.2025). The national flag was hoisted in all government offices, schools, and colleges, and people celebrated together in patriotism. But for many years, in some parts of Tamil Nadu, panchayat presidents from certain communities were denied permission to hoist the national flag in their offices. A strong voice was raised about this situation in the Tamil film 'Nandhan', which was released last year. Sasikumar calls it a historic change As a symbol of this change, on Independence Day this year, Panchayat Presidents of a particular community hoisted the flag in their offices without any restrictions. The 'Nandhan' team is happy to see this as their success. 'Nandhan' hero Sasikumar wrote on his Instagram page, "All the Dalit Panchayat leaders in Tamil Nadu have hoisted the flag on the 79th Independence Day. This is a huge change. On behalf of 'Nandan', we would like to thank everyone who supported us. " Director Saravanan credits govt action and Nandhan's impact 'Nandhan' director Saravanan also expressed his gratitude.

Police protection was also provided at some places. In an unprecedented change, this year, all the Dalit leaders in charge have hoisted the national flag on Independence Day. This is a great pride for us," he said, sharing a related video on social media. Seeman hails milestone Meanwhile, Naam Tamilar Party leader Seeman said, 'The news that the leaders of the Aadithamizhgudi Panchayat Council hoisted the flag on Independence Day without any hindrance this year is heartening. The Tamil Nadu government issued a special order for this, and the main reason for that was the movie Nandan, which was released last year. The impact of that movie was the impetus for this social change,' he said. This has once again proven how great an impact a work of art can have on society.

Market outlook: How will D-Street react to Alaska meeting, GST announcement? Here is what experts say
Markets are set for a strong start on Monday, with both global and domestic factors likely to lift investor sentiment. The twin triggers include Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day announcement of GST reforms and the 'understanding' reached between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Alaska meeting Trump and Putin held a close to three-hour meeting in Alaska, which, even though, did not produce a ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, ended with what Putin described as an 'understanding'. Trump called it a "very good meeting" but stressed that 'there's no deal until there's a deal.' He added, "We had a very good meeting today, and I think a lot of points were negotiated on behalf of Ukraine. There's no deal until there's a deal," noting that he plans to speak with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders soon. Putin, meanwhile, cautioned Europe not to 'torpedo the nascent progress.' GST reforms announced by PM Modi On the domestic front, markets are expected to react positively to PM Modi's pledge of rate cuts under GST 2.0 by Diwali. Speaking from the Red Fort on Independence Day, Modi announced that GST rates will be lowered on everyday-use goods as part of reforms to the eight-year-old tax system. Quoting Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, PTI reported that the government plans to introduce two slabs, standard and merit, plus special rates for certain items, replacing the current four brackets of 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%, while luxury and sin goods will continue to attract an additional duty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo Market reaction to Trump-Putin meeting Kranthi Bathini, director-equity strategy at WealthMills Securities, said the meeting between Trump and Putin is a positive development. 'These are complex problems and cannot be resolved in one meeting. The agreement to meet again with calm markets," Bathini told ET. Anuj Gupta, Director at Ya Wealth Global Research, pointed to Trump's statement about delaying tariffs on China for buying Russian oil as another encouraging sign. Gupta noted that India, another large buyer of Russian crude, has faced a total 50% tariff and penalties on Russian imports but was not mentioned this time. Sunny Agrawal, head - retail fundamental desk at SBI Securities, said the absence of any fresh negative development is a relief. He said that Trump's statement that 'he will not have to think of retaliatory tariffs on countries buying Russian oil right now but may have to in two or three weeks' now offers at least a temporary relief to countries like India." He told ET that the additional 25% tariff on India scheduled to begin on 27 August may now be on the backburner. Christopher Wood, global head of equity strategy at Jefferies, said the Trump administration's 50% tariff on Indian imports is not a reason to sell. Instead, he argued, it's an opportunity to buy. "It is only a matter of time before Trump backs off the stance, which is not in America's interest.' How will GST impact markets Agrawal of SBI Securities said the move to a two-slab GST structure (5% and 18%), plus a 40% slab for sin products, will support consumption. "Few categories like large TV, AC, cement, automobiles, etc are likely to get cheaper, as they are shifted from 28% category to 18%. Moreover, reduction in GST rates on insurance products also will ease burden on consumers. Cheaper cement prices can have a multiplier effect on various sectors like real estate, roads/highways/infra as cost of production is likely to reduce and the same can be passed on to the consumer," he told ET. He cautioned, however, that the reforms must be implemented quickly. If not, festive season sales could be delayed as consumers wait for lower prices, temporarily affecting demand. Gupta and Bathini also praised the move, saying GST relief during the festive season will spur consumption and aid the wider economy, with FMCG and autos likely to gain. Market outlook Indian equities broke a six-week losing streak last week, finishing with gains of over 1%. Experts believe Monday's session will reflect optimism from both global and domestic developments. Santosh Meena, Head of Research at Swastika Investmart, said the Nifty is forming a strong base. "The immediate resistance lies at the 20 and 50-day moving averages (DMAs) clustered around 24,700-24,800. A decisive break above this level could trigger a short-covering rally towards 24,950, 25,080, and 25,225. Immediate support is at the 100-DMA of 24,575, with the crucial support level remaining at 24,350," he said. Anand James, chief market strategist at Geojit Investments, however, expects further weakness. "Directional moving indicators are still in favour of more downsides with 24,000 and 23,560 as potential downside supports attracting prices lower," he said. He added, "That said, the last week saw several attempts to push higher, giving us reversal hopes. Apparently none of those moves managed to successfully close above the 24670-720 band, the near term congestion resistance, they did manage to bring parabolic sar under the price, lending a positive bias." The analyst further said that the market has shown even better signs of resilience having had the highest number of Nifty 500 constituents closing above 10 day SMA, since 24th July. "Incidentally, the Nifty had tumbled from the 25,200 region on that day. This would be the objective we would be aiming, should we clear above 24,720 on Monday."
