CM MK Stalin, who launched the Hindi vs Tamil war in Tamil Nadu, is constantly taking aggressive stance. Now he has reiterated again that we will oppose imposing Hindi on Tamil Nadu. He also said that due to Hindi, more than 25 languages of North India were abolished. He said that Tamil Nadu would not allow Hindi language to ‘impose’ and he pledged to protect the Tamils and its culture. In a letter addressed to party workers, he said, ‘We will oppose the imposition of Hindi. Hindi is a mask, Sanskrit is a hidden face. The DMK has alleged that the Center is trying to impose Hindi through a three-language formula in the National Education Policy (NEP). However, the central government has denied the allegation.
In the letter, Stalin claimed that many North Indian languages like Maithili, Brajbhasha, Bundelkhandi and Awadhi spoken in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh have been destroyed by the authoritarian Hindi ‘. The head of the ruling DMK said, ‘More than 25 North Indian native languages have been destroyed by the intervention of authoritarian Hindi-cultured languages. Due to awareness, centuries -old Dravidian movement and various movements protected the Tamils and their culture. ‘ He said that Tamil Nadu is opposing NEP as the Center is trying to impose Hindi and Sanskrit through education policy.
According to NEP, the third language can also be foreign. Responding to the BJP’s claim, Stalin claimed that according to the Trishag policy program, “Sanskrit is being promoted only in many states.” He claimed that BJP -ruled Rajasthan is appointing Sanskrit teachers instead of Urdu trainers. He said, “If the Tamil Nadu Accepted the triple language policy, the mother tongue will be ignored and there will be culturalization in the future.” He claimed that NEP provisions states that ‘other Indian languages will be taught in schools apart from Sanskrit and other languages like Tamil can be taught online.
The Chief Minister alleged, “This makes it clear that the Center has planned to eliminate languages like Tamil and impose Sanskrit.” Stalin said that the Dravidian leader and former Chief Minister CN Annadurai had implemented the double-language policy in the state decades ago to make it clear that ‘there is no place to impose Arya culture through Hindi-Sanskrit and destroy Tamil culture’.
