Hindi gov of India want to bury the glorious parts of the history of the non-Hindi India and project that India is Hindi culture/history/language. Not just Tamil Nadu but all non-Hindi identities. Tamil Nadu is top of their list because Tamil is its oldest rival and least polluted by Hindi-Sanskrit culture.
This is a multi-prong approach.
1. Do not dig archeological sites or hide the finding so the glorious past may not be revealed.
2. Bury the history of non-Hindi regions. Read CBSE history books. East and South India gets less than 5% of the pages. Rest is about what is today Hindi regions.
3. Bury the sacrifices of South India is fight against British rule and project as if only Hindi-ans sacrificed.

You seem to be from Kerala. How much Kerala history in CBSEW books? None.
Do you know that only South Asian kingdom to win a naval battle with British was Travancore? How many Indians know that? Because it is never taught in schools.
