Rupee Symbol Controversy: Tamil Nadu Govt’s New Logo Sparks Debate
Chennai, India – Tamil Nadu government ne apna naya logo launch karke ek bada hungama macha diya hai. Yeh logo, jo ki Tamil alphabet ‘Ru’ hai, usko Indian Rupee symbol ki jagah use kiya ja raha hai. Isse opposition parties, khaaskar BJP, kaafi gussa hai aur woh isko ‘bewakoofi’ keh rahi hain.
The Designer’s Twist
Yeh baat aur bhi interesting ho jaati hai jab hum jaante hain ki original Rupee symbol ko design karne wale D Udaya Kumar, ek Tamilian hain. Kumar, jo abhi IIT Guwahati mein professor hain, ne 2010 mein Manmohan Singh government ke time par yeh symbol banaya tha.
A Symbol’s Story
Kumar ke design ko 3,000 entries mein se chuna gaya tha, aur unhe 2.5 lakh rupees ka inaam bhi mila. Rupee symbol, Roman ‘R’ aur Devanagri ‘Ra’ ka mix hai, jo ‘rupaiah’ ko represent karta hai. Iske upar do horizontal stripes hain, jo Indian flag aur ‘equal to’ sign ko darshaate hain.
Amidst the Controversy
Kumar ne is pure controversy par kaha ki unhe apne design par garv hai. Unhone kaha ki har design successful nahi hota, aur criticism ka saamna karna padta hai. Woh is move ko apne kaam ka apmaan nahi maante.
Political Reactions
Opposition parties ne is move ki kaafi aalochna kari hai. Unka kehna hai ki yeh ‘deshdroh’ hai aur Tamil Nadu government ko yeh faisla wapas lena chahie. BJP ne is mudde par zor-shor se protest kiya hai.
Public Opinion
Logon ke beech bhi is mudde par alag-alag rai hai. Kuch log is move ka samarthan kar rahe hain, toh kuch log iske khilaf hain. Social media par bhi yeh mudda trending hai.
The Road Ahead
Ab dekhna yeh hai ki Tamil Nadu government is mudde par kya stand leti hai. Kya woh apna faisla wapas legi ya nahi? Yeh toh waqt hi batayega.
