You are digressing from the issue at hand. Karunanidhi needs to ridiculed for his petty minority/religion politics ; ridicule him for that for all you want, but don't muddy up the waters here by bringing up other topics . Clearly you are not from Tamilnad nor are you a Tamil, as otherwise, you would have known that nobody is barred from learning "hindi" in tamilnad. Imposing Hindi forcerfully in the name of 'National Language' is what that is discouraged there and should be discouraged elsewhere in India too and most tamils are not anti-hindi; they are just not "pro-hindi"; I hope you understand the difference. If hindi is the preferred language then all local languages/culture would most definitely become obsolete, just like how "English" has become the preferred language at the cost of vernacular languages;everyone seems to think its cool to converse in English even when the other person can perfectly understand the vernacular language. When India is a land of several languages, how can one arbitrarily have "hindi" to be the national language--just because it is spoken in many states? Thinking that one language is superior to another is fascism too; Hence the constitution clearly states all Indian languages to be national languages . And I went to school with this grandson,(it is well know that his son went to a public tamil medium school) he did not study Hindi; But even if he did, I don't see anything wrong with that as every individual has the right to do what he thinks is good for him/her. Now to the topic, I am embarrassed to be an Indian where there is reservation in the name of caste/religion, if anything it should be based on one's income. Woe on your Karunanidhi for stooping low in the name of politics?
