In a statement, Waiko, the secretary general of the Madhyamaka and a member of the state legislature, said, “More than 75 per cent of the world's inscriptions are in South India alone. In India, only in Tamil Nadu are there more inscriptions. In Tamil Nadu, many people have petitioned the court to continue excavations in the lower reaches of the Kondagai, Sivakalai, Adichanallur, Kodumanal and Tamiraparani rivers and to preserve ancient monuments.
The Department of Archeology, which responded, said there are already 92 protected ancient sites. In addition, 54 protected sites have been identified. So far, 11,000 inscriptions have been copied and many more are yet to be copied. The court advised the government to pay due attention and copy and publish these inscriptions. The archeology department is paralyzed without working people. The task of copying the 74,000 inscriptions found was incomplete. Copied inscriptions do not appear in full thread form.
Currently 758 vacancies are being filled in the field of archeology. Of these, not a single post was assigned to the Inscription Department. Dedicated archaeologists, who have made tremendous achievements nationally and globally, are shocked by this act. A complete history is not possible without inscriptional studies. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the field of archeology and appointments should be made immediately. The Central Government's betrayal of the Tamil language by not giving even the importance given to the Sanskrit language with very few inscriptions to the Tamil language. Therefore, I urge the Central Government to immediately appoint Tamil Archaeologists in the Department of Archeology. "
