Ds, indeed i felt hindi was being dumped on us. I dont agree with karunanidhi one bit except on tamil freedom. tamil is the oldest living language in the world not just india. i respect thackareys desire to uphold marathi. india is multicultural and multi linguistic. you cannot impose anything on a certain group. why tamilians are proud of the language is because it has rich literature spanning thousands of years. just because one wants tamil means he is not necessarily blowing karunanidh's horns.
