If the Tamil Nadu government does not have some achievements to count, then it has now announced to wage war against the official language and national language of the country. If seen, Tamil is one of the ‘national languages’ of India while Hindi is the official language of the country. But the way politicians in Tamil Nadu are provoking the atmosphere against the official language. The way the leaders of the ruling DMK are protesting against Hindi in Tamil Nadu, the lease of the pattaka written in Hindi at the railway station is being soaked, words written in Hindi are being erased on signsboards, post office, BSNL office board Koti granddaughter is going on Hindi words, anti-Hindi campaign is being run, he is showing that politicians are succeeding in their anti-Hindi campaign. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has even directly announced that the state is ‘ready’ for ‘another language war’. A word -like word against the country’s official language from the mouth of a person sitting in a constitutional position is also shocked and also expresses hatred of his mind. Not only this, DMK has started a “Kolam campaign” in the state in which a protest is lodged by making rangoli on the roads with rice flour.
Let us tell you that all this controversy has arisen with the policy of three-language in the National Education Policy. The Tamil Nadu government alleges that the Modi government is trying to impose Hindi. Whereas Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has termed the opposition to the National Education Policy by the Tamil Nadu government as ‘political’. He has said that Hindi is not being imposed on students in three language formulas and the state government can choose any three Indian languages on school education. At the same time, DMK is opposing three language policy and is insisting that Tamil Nadu is satisfied with Tamil and English. The party has accused the BJP -led NDA government of “imposing Hindi” at the Center. However, the central government has denied this charge.
If seen, DMK wants to dismiss Hindi and separate Tamil Nadu from the ‘mainstream of progress of the country’, while eminent academics believe that this is a good initiative to ensure the progress of people including the new generation and make them good citizens. As far as promoting Tamil is concerned, it is the duty of every Indian to contribute to learning and furthering all Indian languages including Tamil, but no one has the right to any Indian language or the official language of India Should express hatred against or announce a war against it.

In Tamil Nadu, the ruling DMK should see that Hindi is the language which is most spoken in the country and it also has the power to become a language of coordination in the whole country. The devotees who came from Tamil Nadu in Prayagraj Mahakumbh were also showing their feelings in broken Hindi because they know what the language of the heart is. Recently, DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran had opposed the move of the Lok Sabha Secretariat in Parliament in which it was said to translate the proceedings of the House in Sanskrit. This is when Tamil Nadu has the oldest Sanskrit college in the country and DMK is also a Sanskrit word. If seen, there is no other scientific, grammatical and prosperous language like Sanskrit in the world. It is not only the oldest language in the world, the word reserves are so big that the whole word-store of all the languages of the world is also small as compared to it. According to an estimate of the American organization ‘NASA’, Sanskrit can release a dictionary of more than 102 billion words, as its metals, Lakar, Chudanta and synonyms can create millions of new words. The great feature of Sanskrit is that its script is very scientific and like mathematics formulas. Speaking, writing and writing as, to speak. ‘NASA’ has described Sanskrit as the best language for its scientific research and computer. Sanskrit is truly world language. It has enriched dozens of Asians and European languages. It is also wrong to connect Sanskrit with a particular religion. When Sanskrit became prevalent, neither Hindu, nor Christian nor Islam religion emerged on earth. Sanskrit language is not a fief of any caste.
The DMK, who is opposing Hindi, should also know that this language has worked to threading the diversity of languages in India in the formula and it honored many global languages along with different Indian languages and dialects. And has adopted even their terms, positions and grammar rules. There was never any competition from any Indian language of Hindi nor can there ever be. Hindi is a medium to empower all local languages. If seen, India is a country of diverse languages and the name of unity in the formula of unity is Hindi. The Hindi language had done an unprecedented job of tying the country in the unique days in the difficult days of the freedom movement. It established a sense of unity in the country divided into many languages and dialects. Hindi played an important role in the country as a dialogue language in advancing the freedom struggle from east to west and north to south.
Although Stalin may say anything, but there is no doubt that the term of the Modi government has been a glorious time for the protection and promotion of Indian languages and the government has taken many steps for the widespread use of languages. Recently, five more Indian languages have been given classical language status under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with which India has become the only country to recognize 11 languages as classical languages. The Prime Minister has taken several initiatives for the conservation, publicity and widespread use of Indian languages, making the period from 2014 to 2024 a dedicated era for the preservation and promotion of Indian languages. Engineering studies, medical, primary and secondary education in Indian languages have created a favorable environment for the development of all languages.
However, DMK leaders also have to understand that talking about Tamil pride will not work. It has to be seen who has done the most task of increasing Tamil pride. DMK leaders should see that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has retained the real Tamil Gaurav. He installed Tamil Sengol in the new Parliament House and installed the statue of Nataraja in front of Bharat Mandapam (Nataraja statue of Lord Shankar, found in Tanjavur built by great Chola kings). At the national level, Tamil Gaurav had never received more recognition before. But these parties are not interested in Tamil “Cultural Gaurav”, they are just more interested in “political partition”, so they are opposing Hindi. Such people have to understand that all Indian languages are the cultural heritage of the country, which we have to take along.
