Nueva Delhi: in the middle of the ongoing debate between the government of La Unión and Tamil Nadu on the Language Policy, Andhra Pradesh, the main minister and the head of the Janasena party, Pawan Kalyan, said on Saturday that the statements of imposing Hindi are misleading.
“Or imposed a language by force or oppose a blind language; both do not help achieve the objective of the national and cultural integration of our Bharat. I had never opposed the Hindi as a language. I only opposed me to do it mandatory. When the NEP 2020 itself does not fulfill Hindi, spreading false narratives about its imposition is nothing, but an attempt to make false” Kalyan does not make Hindi His imposition is nothing, but an attempt to make false, “Kalyan said.
He pointed out that, under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, students can choose to study two Indian languages along with a foreign language. “If they don’t want to study Hindi, they can and also opt for Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Sanskrit, Gujarati, Assamese, Kashmiri, Hate, Bengalí, Punjabi, Sindhi, Bodo, Dogri, Konkani, Maithili, MEITEI, Nepali, Sentu, Sentu, Satu, satu, satu, satu, satu, satu, satu, Urdu, or Other, Other, Other, Other, Other, Urydali, Other, Other, Other, Urydali, Other, Other, Other, Urduali, Other, Other, Other, Other, Urydali, Other, Urydali, Urydali, Other, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Urydali, Other, Urydali, Other, Urydy Language India, “he said.
Kalyan’s statement comes in response to Tamil Nadu Main Minister MK Stalinthat accused the government of the union of imposing Hindi and has refused to implement the Three Language Formula Under NEP.
Previously, on Friday Kalyan also criticized Tamil Nadu leaders, questioning why they allow tamile films to be called in Hindi to obtain financial gains while opposing the language. Speaking at the Foundation Day event in the Kakinaada district, he said: “In Tamil Nadu, people oppose the imposition of Hindi. This makes me ask me if they don’t want Hindi, why do Tamile films give in Hindi to obtain financial profits?
He also highlighted the importance of multiple languages for national unity. “India needs multiple languages, including tamil, not only two. We must adopt linguistic diversity, not only to maintain the integrity of our nation but also to foster love and unity among its people,” he added.
DMK response
The leader of DMK, Tks Elangovan, responded to Kalyan’s statement saying that Tamil Nadu has always followed a two -languages policy, with tamil and English teaching in schools. “We have opposed the Hindi since 1938. We approved the legislation in the state assembly that Tamil Nadu will always follow the formula of two languages due to the advice and suggestions of the experts in education, not actors. The bill was approved in 1968 when Pawan Kalyan was not even born. He does not know the policy of Tamil Nadu,” Elangovan said.
Actor Prakash Raj also commented, saying: “Saying ‘does not impose his Hindi to us’ It is not the same as hating another language. It is about protecting our mother tongue and our cultural identity with pride.”
Tamil Nadu’s Prime Minister Stalin, speaking in a demonstration in Thiruvallur on March 12, criticized the NEP, saying that he was not aimed at education but to promote Hindi. “National educational policy is not educational policy; it is saffron policy. Politics is not created to develop India but to develop Hindi. We oppose politics, since it would destroy the Tamil Nadu education system completely,” Stalin said.
What is the problem?
The debate on the National Education Policy (NEP) focuses on its three languages formula, which Tamil Nadu Teme could lead to Hindi’s imposition in the state. Prime Minister MK Stalin has argued that policy prioritizes Hindi over regional languages, affecting the diversity and linguistic autonomy of the State.
However, the central government argues that the NEP promotes multilingualism and offers flexibility in language education. The Minister of Education of the Union, Dharmendra Pradhan, has denied Hindi imposition statements, stating that states have the freedom to choose their favorite languages under politics.
The dispute intensified after the center with RS 2,152 million rupees assigned for the Samagra Shiksha scheme of Tamil Nadu, citing the state’s refusal to implement the NEP.
Tamil Nadu has historically opposed the formula of three languages, seeing it as a step towards the Hindi, while the central government argues that policy helps students access employment opportunities in different regions.
