Law and order heading
editI wonder about the use of the term "Law and order" both in the heading and in the section. The term can have ideological significance, at least in North America and maybe the UK, as discussed in Law and order (politics). How about changing the section heading to "Courts and policing", and in the section itself, "is responsible for law enforcement in the state"? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 23:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- This was new to me and was interesting to know that it has a different meaning. In general parlance, Law and Order refers to the preservation of the rule of law, as the first line mentions in the corresponding page. In Indian parlance, Law and order is the common term used to refer policing and courts. It is commonly used in the media 1, 2, 3 and in the official naming convention of the police: The general policing is referred to as police - law and order 4. So my opinion is to keep it as is and simple as per common usage. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 05:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- That makes sense. I agree - follow Indian usage in an article about India. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 13:03, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Update GDP and related numbers
editI guess its time to update the old numbers of the page, especially GDP which is currently shown as $280 billion, but the wiki page for "Economy of Tamil Nadu" says its $378 billion Economy of Tamil Nadu [1]https://prsindia.org/budgets/states/tamil-nadu-budget-analysis-2022-23. Also related numbers could be updated. Racinghero007 (talk) 18:16, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

editwhere it talks about temples having tanks, please add a link to Temple_tank 173.222.1.134 (talk) 18:50, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
- It would go here, in the architecture section: "Besides these, a South Indian temple usually has a tank called the kalyani or pushkarni." 173.222.1.134 (talk) 18:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
