The South Indian state of Tamil Nadu has written to India’s Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar demanding a ban on Amazon Prime Video India series “The Family Man” on the grounds that it depicts Sri Lankan Tamils in a “highly objectionable manner.”
The objection is on the basis of a trailer alone. The series is scheduled to stream from June 4. Tamil Nadu shares a deep linguistic and cultural connection with the Tamil-speaking population of Sri Lanka.
