Hindi Imposition Row

Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin on Wednesday accused the BJP-led Centre of being 'brazen' over 'imposition' of Hindi and asserted that his party, the ruling DMK, would continue to resist any attempts to force the language upon the people or the State.

"Campaigns are run to make one Indian language an enemy of another Indian language. History is presented in a way that people do not get connected with each other but go away from each other instead," the prime minister said.

A Karnataka circular on selecting students with knowledge of Hindi for a tour of Uttarakhand has sparked a 'Hindi imposition' row, with the government clarifying there was no such direction either from the state or the Centre on the matter

For a long time, only Hindi cinema was projected as Indian cinema and it was "very humiliating" for him as an actor from the Telugu film industry, renowned actor Chiranjeevi has said

The row started yesterday when Ajay Devgn said that "Hindi was, is, and will always be our mother tongue and national language".

The ruling DMK on Sunday "warned" the Centre against imposing Hindi, saying the Tamil people still remembered the anti-Hindi agitation by late party patriarch M Karunanidhi, implying that they would not allow it to happen.

Tamil Nadu politician MK Stalin has criticised Home Minister Amit Shah for claiming Hindi is "the one language marking (India's) identity globally", declaring "this is India, not Hindia" and warned the centre of another "language war" unless Prime Minister Narendra Modi issued a clarification

Data has revealed that Tamil Nadu, the epicentre of the recent row over the Centre's three-language formula, has topped the list among southern states in people volunteering to learn Hindi.
