المعنى
To plot against someone.
خلفية ثقافية
In Kollywood, 'Kuzhi parithal' is a central theme in 'Masala' movies. The villain is often a 'frenemy' who plots the hero's downfall. The 'Tirukkural' warns against 'Utpaga' (internal enmity), which is the philosophical basis for this idiom. In villages, this idiom is often used literally in land disputes, where people might actually sabotage irrigation or paths. Young Tamilians use this phrase to describe 'toxic' work environments and 'backstabbing' colleagues.

Don't use for gardening
