DMK campaigns against perceived Hindi imposition in Tamil Nadu

news18.com — March 17, 2025 at 02:01 AM UTC

The DMK government in Tamil Nadu is facing accusations from the central government, led by union minister Dharmendra Pradhan, of using language issues for political gain. The DMK counters these claims by emphasizing its commitment to protecting Tamil and opposing perceived Hindi imposition. Recent tensions have arisen over the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which the Tamil Nadu government opposes, fearing it would promote Hindi. This disagreement has sparked a campaign by the DMK, highlighting state rights and linguistic autonomy. The DMK has a history of mobilizing support around language issues, with recent actions including protests against Hindi signage. This ongoing conflict reflects deep-rooted sentiments in Tamil Nadu, as the DMK seeks to leverage these issues ahead of upcoming elections.
