The Hidden Details in Vijay's TVK Flag
On august 22, 2024, actor Vijay launched the flag and anthem of Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK), his political organization. At the TVK secretariat in Panaiyur, which is close to Chennai, he raised the flag. The flag, which is red and yellow symbolically, has two elephants standing next to a Vaagai flower. It has strong origins in tamil Eelam nationalism and is a symbol of tamil triumph. The accompanying hymn, written by poet vivek and music director Thaman, presents Vijay as a force for unity who challenges the powerful Dravidian parties. Its picture suggests a coalition of many tamil groups and a demand for administration free from corruption.
Hidden Details in Flag and Anthem
Red in the top and bottom and yellow in the middle are the two primary colors that alternately appear on the flag. It also has a Vaagai blossom with two elephants on either side of it. Some people think that garlands of the Vaagai flower, a sign of triumph, were worn by ancient tamil warriors.
In addition, the Vaagai flow is linked to tamil Eelam, which serves to establish TVK as a tamil Nationalist organization. Additionally, the national tree of Eland is the Vaagai tree (Albizia lebbeck).

The words and music of the 4.27-minute TVK video anthem were written by vivek and Thaman. Two "dark-skinned" elephants are shown in the opening of the film causing mayhem as people run wild. Two mahouts sit atop the two dark-skinned elephants. A white horse with two white elephants on either side is followed by a guy carrying a flagstaff. The two black elephants were knocked to the ground by the white elephants. The man waving a flag is then welcomed, and he raises what appears to be the TVK party's flag.
As was already said, the next few seconds of the song showcase the splendor of the flag.

TVK Video Symbolisms
The two dark-skinned elephants may be interpreted as the two Dravidian political giants, the DMK and AIADMK, if one chose to draw that conclusion. One can assume that Vijay is politically criticizing the two Dravidian majors for plundering the state and that he is coming to save the people from them by portraying terrified people fleeing erratically around the two black elephants in full charge.

A Jallikattu bull with horns that match the colors of the TVK flag is also featured in the film. The film also demonstrates the significance of the flag's colors to tamil culture. Then, the video plays the lyrics "Tamizhan kodi parakkudu, Thalaivan yugam porakkudu, Moondrezhuthu mandhiratha meendum kaalam olikkidu," which means "the flag of Tamils is flying, the era of a leader is born, the three-letter mantra is being heard." It also features silhouettes of mgr, Vijay, and possibly CN Annadurai.
Three tamil letters combine to make each of the names mgr, Anna, and Vijay.

TVK Positioned Against DMK?
Despite Karunanidhi's five times as the state's chief minister, mgr is depicted in the video rather than him. Vijay is attempting to establish TVK as the opposition force against DMK by staking claim to the legacy of Anna and MGR.
It also demonstrates how the leader is adored by women, seniors, drivers, and kids. The song's lyrics also reference the tamil proverb "Tamizha, we will prosper, we will hold an untainted hand and move forward," which is a pledge of an administration free from corruption.
The TVK flag is held by a Hindu, Muslim, and Christian, adding a spice of traditional indian pluralism.

The flag's colors and symbols—red from blood, the power of two elephants, yellow accents, and a tilaka with blue and green—are explained in the lyrics.
Using the colors red for the working class, green for Muslims, blue for Dalits, pink for women, and yellow for Hindus, it appears that he is trying to identify the groups or voter base he wants to win over.
It appears that Vijay's political philosophy is a hybrid of ADMK and NTK based on the flag and anthem.
The song's lyrics also portray Vijay as the ideal leader—one who would stand up for the people and confront those who harm them, no matter who they may be.
