Sundar Pichai involved in Tamil Nadu language debate

Google CEO Sundar Pichai's past comments about learning Hindi have resurfaced amid Tamil Nadu's debate over a three-language policy. Tamil Nadu BJP president K. Annamalai shared a video of Pichai to support multilingual education, while critics argue for a two-language system. Tamil Nadu's Information Technology Minister P.T.R. Palanivel Thiagarajan questioned the relevance of Hindi in Pichai's success, stating the three-language policy has failed. The state has traditionally favored a two-language system of Tamil and English. Annamalai accused DMK leaders of hypocrisy for allowing their children to learn three languages while promoting a two-language policy for government schools. He also claimed Pichai studied three languages, including Hindi, during his education in Tamil Nadu.
