In Tamil Nadu the State Government has opened up Restaurants selling good tasty food at affordable Prices.

You do not get a Masala Dosa for anything less than Rs 70! Why? People think it is beneath their dignity to question this extortion. Imagine people with a salary fo Rs 400 to 5000 per month ,are staying alone and have to take food in restaurants. is this not fleecing? Why consumer groups are silent on this issue? I saw a Talk show in Vijay TV Neeya Naana where the Hoteliers met with the customers for a discussion. And they offer you what they think you like, never an authentic Tamil Nadu Cuisine except Idli Vada Ponga and Poori (which has become South Indian now( and a few other items) Whys no specific Tamil specialties? I can name quite a few. Think about it,
