Stalin continues onslaught on 3-language policy

Deccan Chronicle  

Chennai:Hindi was only a mask and the real face was Sanskrit, said Chief Minister M K Stalin continuing his onslaught against the Union Government’s attempt to impose the three-language formula on the people of Tamil Nadu, explaining that the BJP’s real intention was to usher in an Aryan culture in the pretext of making people learn Hindi and then Sanskrit. In the third part of his retelling of the history of ‘Mozhi Por’ that helped the State from adopting the three-language formula through his periodical epistle to party cadre, the DMK president referred to a group of people who had been asking if Tamil would be decimated if the people learnt Hindi. Mocking at the claim of the acolytes of the three-language formula that Hindi would be taught in Tamil Nadu and Tamil would be taught in other States, Stalin said that for a question raised by DMK MP Trichy Siva in Parliament over the number Tamil teachers appointed in Kendriya Vidyalayas across the country, the reply given in 2021 by the Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradan was: None. The languages that were being promoted in the name of three language policy were only Hindi and Sanskrit and it was an attempt to destroy Tamil culture, he said in the epistle aimed at educating the youth on the history of the language war waged by the State against Hindi imposition.
