Tamil Nadu Marks November 1 as Tamil Nadu Day Amid Date Dispute
Tamil Nadu celebrated Tamil Nadu Day on November 1, marking the state's formation on linguistic lines, with Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay and Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar leading events. The government plans to consider a separate state flag and possibly declare November 1 a public holiday. The opposition DMK contests the date, asserting July 18, when the state was renamed Tamil Nadu, as the correct Tamil Nadu Day, emphasizing the historical and cultural significance of that date.
