Hindi row: What is three-language formula in NEP and why does Tamil Nadu oppose it? Explained in 5 points

Live Mint  

Tamil Nadu and the Centre are locked in a heated dispute, with the DMK government accusing the BJP-led NDA of attempting to impose Hindi language on the state through the three-language formula in the National Education Policy. The Hindi imposition row between the Tamil Nadu government and the Centre flared up when Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said he will withhold ₹2,400 crore funds under the Samagra Shiksha scheme for Tamil Nadu if the state doesn't fully implement the National Education Policy which also includes the three-language formula. As per the National Education Policy document, the three-language formula will “continue to be implemented while keeping in mind the Constitutional provisions, aspirations of the people, regions, and the Union, and the need to promote multilingualism as well as promote national unity.” “There will be a greater flexibility in the three-language formula, and no language will be imposed on any State,” the education policy document said. While the National Education Policy does not mandate Hindi as part of the three-language formula and explicitly states that the third language can be any, the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government insists it is a backdoor attempt to impose Hindi.
