When Ajay Naharâs father was 31 years old, his family packed up their home in Byawar in Rajasthanâs Ajmer and moved to Chennai. The city has been home to Ajay, 44, and his extended family ever since, where they share a house in Sowcarpet.
Ajay is one of nearly 10 lakh Rajasthanis living in Tamil Nadu, around one lakh of them in and around Chennai alone. Although the families are disparate, hailing from different regions of Rajasthan, they have one thing in common, according to Ajay: they mostly support the Bharatiya Janata Party.
