Generalization
by Joy Felix on Feb 09, 2007 10:05 PM

Hi MR.rayker rayker,

1)
I appreciate your comment that not to generalize with single incident. In your message you have mentioned that there was a problem to your relative because of Sanskrit inscription in Chennai. Was it in the near past? or very very long ago? Also any your relatives are physically abused?
Any way I am sorry to hear that.
To my knowledge no body ever was physically abused because of any Language in TN.


Ps: I understand till 20 years ago, there was some organization black painting the Hindi letters. But these things drastically reduced in the decade. I believe every 10 to 20 years generation changes. So I request people not to write a opinion based on very old things.

Now lot of TN children are learning Hindi, the opposition is only at the Government. Recently Hindi Prachar Saba chairman commented that she was pleasently surprise to know the prevalence of Hindi in recent years, inspite of political opposition.

2)

To those writing about TN and Chennai: There are lot of Malayalees living in TN, the government recently declared local holiday for Oonam[A festival celebrated only by Malayalees] in Coimbatore dist and Nilgirs dist. Also they are planning to give local holiday in Chennai as well. How do you take this? For me it shows the tolerence and acceptability of TN. Please comment.
