சுருக்கம்: Tamil Nadu has a rich commercial past due to its geographical position. While it has had its own benefits in building a prosperous state, it has also on the other hand led to divisions among the people on the lines of class, education and class. This has led to growing intolerance among people. It has affected the industrial sector too where the lack of unity because of segregation of the workers or disunity among them due to differences seep out. There has been a gradual rise of cases of unrest in the industrial sector in Tamil Nadu and this has transformed into huge losses for the state. This paper is an attempt to link the historical formation of various groups and parties and the recent outbreak of unrest in industries in Tamil Nadu.
முக்கிய வார்த்தைகள்: segregation, elite, Dravidan, unrest, industrialization, intolerance, killings.
