No place for Hindi in Tamil Nadu, ever: Stalin's firm warning on Language Martyrs' Day
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK party chief M.K. Stalin has issued a strong warning to the central government on the occasion of Language Martyrs' Day. He clearly stated that Hindi had no place in Tamil Nadu in the past, does not have it today, and will never have it in the future. Recalling the martyrs of the anti-Hindi agitation of the 1960s, he expressed his resolve to protect the state's linguistic identity.
Stalin paid tribute to the language martyrs Thalamuthu and Natarasan at their memorial in Chennai. On this occasion, statues of these two prominent martyrs were unveiled at the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority building. Speaking at the event, Stalin said, "Tamil Nadu has led this movement not only for its own language but also for the rights of various linguistic and national groups in the Indian subcontinent."
Stalin shared an emotional video of the 1965 anti-Hindi agitation on social media. The video highlights the contributions of the late DMK leaders C.N. Annadurai and M. Karunanidhi. In the post, he wrote, "We love our language dearly. Whenever there is an attempt to suppress the Tamil language, our resistance will become even stronger."
In 1964-65, a massive public movement arose in Tamil Nadu against making Hindi the official language. Many young people lost their lives in this movement, while some committed self-immolation. The term 'Language Martyrs' is used for these martyrs. After this struggle, Tamil Nadu adopted a bilingual policy, which is still followed today.
The DMK government has consistently opposed the Centre's National Education Policy 2020. Stalin has alleged that the central government is trying to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states through the back door with this policy. He emphatically stated that Tamil Nadu will remain committed to preserving its linguistic and cultural identity.
