Chennai . Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, while allegedly targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -led central government for allegedly imposing Hindi, expressed surprise that the central government did not help the people of the states of North India to establish institutions to teach Tamil or other South Indian languages. In a letter addressed to the workers on the topic ‘Opposition to impose Hindi’, Stalin said that technology like ‘Google Translate’, ‘Chat (GPT)’ and Artificial Medha (AI) helps people to deal with related problems.
He said that it would be beneficial for students to learn only necessary techniques. To impose someone will only be a burden on them. The DMK chief said that Gandhiji believed that people from southern states learn Hindi and people from the northern states learn one of the southern languages, paving the way for national unity and South India Hindi Prachar Sabha was established to fulfill the wishes of the Father of the Nation. Stalin said, “Gandhi himself participated in programs at the headquarters of the gathering in Chennai and currently the gathering is working in southern states with six thousand centers.”
In addition, the Chief Minister asked without naming anyone, whether an organization like ‘North India Tamil Prachar Sabha or Dravid Sabha’ has been established in North India, so that people of the northern states have the facility to learn one of the languages of the southern states? The Chief Minister, without naming the BJP, targeted it and alleged that those who had claimed to install the statue of Saint Kavi Thiruvalluvar on the banks of the Ganges river threw it into a garbage heap.
He wondered if such people would establish an institution to promote Tamil. He said that ‘those who walk on the path of Godse will never be able to fulfill Gandhi’s objectives’. South India Hindi Prachar Sabha, which was declared an institution of national importance by Parliament in 1964, was founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1918 with the aim of promoting Hindi in the southern states and its first pracharak was his son Devdas Gandhi.
