IndiaActor R. Parthiban has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) petition in the Madras High Court, requesting the Tamil Nadu government to enact legislation or issue guidelines enabling Revenue Department officials to issue 'no caste, no religion' certificates to individuals who voluntarily renounce their religious and caste identities. This follows a previous incident where Parthiban faced backlash for identifying as a 'Naidu boy' during a film promotion, later retracting the statement and applying for the certificate. The High Court previously directed authorities to issue the certificate to him, which they did. Now, Parthiban argues the process should be streamlined for others seeking similar certificates for educational and employment purposes.

While the subject involves caste and religion—highly politicized topics in India—the framing leans toward supporting the petitioner's诉求
