Meanwhile the poet Thiruvalluvar is being politicized on some fronts in tamilnadu right now, the state police have found an interesting use for his 1330 couplets: telling clashing students to write all of them down as ‘punishment’. Recently the tirunelveli police identified 49 school students who engaged in petty public fighting about a week ago. Furthermore instead of punishing them by sending them to corrective facilities, they assigned the students with writing all 1330 Thirukkurals as ‘punishment’.

Reportedly Thillai Nagarajan, Inspector of police, Palayamkottai says “On october 29, the student groups clashed with each other near the Palayamkottai bus stand, creating a public nuisance. We identified the students based on CCTV footage from the area and traced them to their schools. They themselves weren’t really clear as to why they were fighting with each other”.



He says “After counseling the parents, we asked if any of the students can recite a Thirukkural without the help of any book; they couldn’t. So I told them to go back home and write all 1330 Tirukkurals and bring it back to the station on Wednesday”. Moreover on wednesday morning, only a few students came to the police station with the Thirukkural assignments. The remaining did not show up, hoping that the police officials would have forgotten the ‘punishment and the Thirukkural submissions by all 49 students were sealed with a rubber stamp from the station and given back to them, with instructions to submit them in their respective schools too.
