Ever since 2014, a large wave of nationalist identity politics has swept India and the wave is getting bigger and stronger by the day. While political organizations have resorted to new versions of nationalist propaganda, citizens have, interestingly, a mized bag of responses to such circumstances.

This post particularly discusses a Tamil satirical web series titled Pagutharivu Komaali run by Summa Productions on their YouTube channel Summa Movies. The show began a few months back and has been attempting to the marginalized sections of the audience, especially those who love political satire and intellectually challenging humor.

As it turns out, so far, each episode of the show seems to be covering some major element of identity politics going on right now. The show is in Tamil and this means the show is exclusively for those who understand Tamil.

When it comes to identity politics, there are key popular opinion trends that the political groups have taken up for their propaganda. While there could be so many interpretations of what the major popular opinions related to identity politics are, let's take a few and compare those with each episode of Pagutharivu Komaali:

1. Governance built over the norms of the country as per its cultural history.





2. Today's laws are a result of traditional/religious norms of the past.

3. Every nationalist government will seek a protective Supreme Court.





4. Kings from the past are the true representations of the country.

5. The society has always been segmented into different groups and such a segmentation has a history.

6. The military force projection and deterrence is of utmost importance for secure borders and strategic influence over regional adversaries.
