'Hindi is mask, Sanskrit is hidden face:' Stalin's new blame on 3-language policy

Tamil Nadu: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has stoned his review of the BJP- led central government’s three- language policy under the National Education Policy( NEP), stating that" Hindi is the mask, Sanskrit is the retired face."

Three language policy

In a letter to DMK party members, Stalin indicted the BJP of using the three- language formula to push for the dominance of Hindi and Sanskrit while sidelining indigenous languages." further than 25 north Indian native languages have been destroyed by the irruption of hegemonic Hindi- Sanskrit languages. The century-old Dravidian movement shielded Tamil and its culture because of the mindfulness it created and the colorful agitations," Stalin said.

Question on imbalance in language creation

The Tamil Nadu CM claimed that" raiders with ethnical hostility for centuries have tried to destroy the unique Tamil culture" and reiterated that his government would" oppose Hindi duty" at all costs. Questioning the imbalance in language creation across the country, Stalin refocused out that while Hindi had been laboriously propagated in the South, there were no analogous sweats to promote Tamil in the North.

 Truth is, we noway demanded that North Indians must learn Tamil or any South Indian language to ‘ save’ them. All we ask is to Stop Hindi Imposition on us.However, let them! Just leave Tamil Nadu alone!" he wrote on X, If BJP- ruled countries want to educate 3 languages or indeed 30.

What's the three- language formula?

The NEP 2020 promotes multilingualism through the three- language formula, calling scholars to learn three languages, with at least two being Indian languages. While the choice of languages is left to countries and seminaries, Tamil Nadu has constantly opposed the policy, stewing it would pave the way for Hindi duty. The policy encourages the mama lingo or indigenous language as the medium of instruction until at least Class 5, rather till Class 8 and further. It also allows English as an option and does n't dictate any particular language.

Political battle over language policy

Stalin has constantly indicted the BJP of pushing a monolithic Hindi identity, claiming that Hindi has" swallowed" over two dozen indigenous languages in the North." The real indigenous languages of North India have come bones of the history. A drive for a monolithic Hindi identity is what kills ancient mama speeches," he argued. The BJP, still, has dismissed DMK’s claims as" politically motivated." Tamil Nadu BJP principal K Annamalai contended that the ruling party was" designedly mistaking the NEP for political earnings," averring that the policy aims to promote all Indian languages rather than put one.
