Tamil Nadu politics has been dominated by the AIADMK and DMK parties. They are fore runner for few policies instated at national level such as reservation policies for dominant caste and sectors in the society. Both parties stemmed from the Dravidian movement, which demanded greater rights for the 'Dravidian' population of Tamil Nadu. 

Lying on the southeastern coast of the Indian peninsula, Tamil Nadu is bounded by the Eastern Ghats in the north and Nilgiri, theAnnamalai Hills, and Palakkad on the west. The state has large fertile areas along the Coromandel coast, the Palk strait, and theGulf of Mannar. The fertile plains of Tamil Nadu are fed by rivers such as the Kaveri, Palar, and Vaigai, as well as the northeast monsoon. Traditionally a manufacturing state, Tamil Nadu is also a leading agricultural producer.
