Tamil race faces one challenge after another: CM Stalin
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin, on Tuesday (June 17, 2025), lamented that some continue to have problem in accepting the antiquity of Tamil civilisation even though scientific evidence firmly established it. 'The Tamil race faces one stumbling block after another. We confront these challenges and prove the civilisation's ancientness through scientific evidence. Yet, there are those who stubbornly refuse to accept it. There is no need to revise the report. It is some people's mindset that needs to change,' he said in a social media post. The Chief Minister's remarks allude to the Union government's refusal to acknowledge the findings of Keeladi excavation led by archaeologist Amarnath Ramakrishna. Meanwhile, the DMK's student wing has announced a protest demonstration at Viraganur in Madurai district on Wednesday to condemn the Centre. 'Let us gather in large number and express our solidarity,' he said.

Keeladi excavation report needs no correction: Stalin slams Centre's anti-Tamil stance
CHENNAI: Chief Minister MK Stalin on Tuesday stated that the Keeladi excavation report submitted by archaeologist K Amarnath Ramakrishna does not require correction as requested by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and subsequently by Union Minister of Culture and Tourism, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. The CM said this in his post on the X handle, calling upon the people to take part in large numbers in the demonstration to be staged by the DMK student wing in Viraganur in Madurai district. However, the CM did not mention the name of archaeologist Ramakrishna in his tweet. "We have been establishing the antiquity of the Tamil race with the help of science and by fighting against all obstacles for thousands of years. Despite these efforts, certain people are not accepting it (the antiquity of the Tamil race). So, it is not the excavation reports that are to be corrected, but those minds who refuse to accept the reports," Stalin highlighted the obstacles that the Tamil race is facing.

Tamil Nadu: Daily-wagers' girl dwarfs the odds, engineers path to IIT-Bombay
Though never a topper, Yogeshwari was eager to learn. Inspired by her brothers, she decided to appear for JEE-Main VIRUDHUNAGAR: A few years ago, S Yogeshwari of Tamil Nadu had no idea what aerospace engineering was. Today, she is set to join IIT-Bombay to study aerospace engineering. For a rural Virudhunagar girl suffering from dwarfism, it's been a journey powered by hard work and perseverance, and a helping hand from her teachers and the government. Yogeshwari's mother, Kanagavalli, works as a daily wage labourer in a fireworks unit, while her father, Selvam, is employed at a tea shop. She did her class XII from a government school near Sattur. "I was drawn to science from class VII, initially leaning towards medical science. In class XII, I discovered aerospace engineering through programmes like the Naan Mudhalvan scheme," Yogeshwari said, adding that her parents always encouraged her and her two elder brothers to pursue education. Though never a topper, Yogeshwari was eager to learn. Inspired by her brothers - one is pursuing BCom, the other physical education - she decided to appear for JEE-Main after class XII. "I scolded her at first for scoring below 450 marks (in class 12), but she challenged me that she'd do well in JEE. And she did - my tears of anger turned into tears of pride," said her mother. Yogeshwari attended a 40-day residential JEE-Advanced coaching camp in Erode, despite her parents' initial worries. "Coming from a Tamil medium background, JEE-Advanced was tough at first. But with my teachers' help, I cleared it," she said. Virudhunagar district collector V P Jeyaseelan has assured her full support as she prepares to join IIT-Bombay.
