خلفية ثقافية
In Tamil Nadu, there is a strong cultural preference for 'Government Jobs' (Arasu Velai) because they are permanent. 'Tharkaalika Velai' is often seen as a temporary struggle before reaching that goal. In the IT sector, 'contracting' is a common form of temporary work. It is often well-paid and doesn't carry the same social stigma as in other sectors. Seasonal labor in paddy fields or tea estates is the oldest form of temporary work in the region, often referred to as 'coolie' work or 'seasonal' (paruva) work. With apps like Swiggy and Dunzo, many young Tamils engage in 'tharkaalika velai' as delivery partners, which is a new cultural phenomenon in urban areas.
