| Organ | Inward (TN-internal) | Outward (crosses to NE) |
|---|---|---|
| Political | DMK / AIADMK / TVK / NTK / VCK compete for TN-internal power | Rhetorical solidarity, no bilateral policy instrument |
| Financial | NRI real estate, Kollywood, dowry premium, MBBS seats, HR&CE hundis | Structurally suppressed by PTA / FATF / de-risking |
| Cultural | TN film / TV / streaming distribution | Vestigial — Radio Ceylon nostalgia, no active production circuit |
| Kinship | Matrimonial market clears through TN family networks | Split families; ~10:1 remittance corridor asymmetry |
| Intellectual | TN universities, publishers, media | Diaspora-hosted (Sivathamby, Cheran, Pathmanathan) |
| Religious | HR&CE governs TN temples | Catholic Church + Saiva mutt aadheenam — the two un-absorbed channels |
Five inward, one outward. The religious organ is the exception the rest of the cluster explains.
