  The battle between Tamil Nadu's DMK and the BJP - over the 'imposition of Hindi' - ramped up Tuesday after Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin raged that "states that had accepted Hindi today stand to lose their mother tongue".

The article from NDTV discusses the ongoing language controversy in Tamil Nadu, where there is significant opposition to the imposition of Hindi, particularly in the context of the National Education Policy (NEP). Udhayanidhi Stalin, a prominent DMK leader and Tamil Nadu's Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development, has voiced strong opposition to the NEP, arguing that it promotes Hindi at the expense of regional languages like Tamil. He emphasized that Tamil Nadu has historically resisted Hindi imposition, pointing out that the state's education system has thrived without Hindi being mandatory. Udhayanidhi also criticized the central government for not respecting the linguistic diversity of India and for attempting to enforce a one-size-fits-all educational policy. This resistance is part of a broader political and cultural movement in Tamil Nadu to preserve and promote Tamil language and culture against perceived Hindi hegemony.
