Tamil Nadu will not tolerate Hindi colonialism: CM MK Stalin
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin has strongly rejected the Indian National Education Policy (NEP) and said that the state will not tolerate Hindi colonialism.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Stalin in a social media post responded to the Indian Education Minister’s actions, saying, “He dared to threaten an entire state to accept Hindi imposition, and now he faces the consequences of reviving a fight he can never win. Tamil Nadu will not be blackmailed into surrendering.”
He further emphasized, “The biggest irony is that Tamil Nadu, which rejects the NEP, has already achieved many of its goals, which the policy aims to reach only by 2030.”
Stalin also criticized the BJP’s three-language formula campaign, calling it ‘a laughing stock’ in Tamil Nadu. “I challenge them to make this their core agenda in the 2026 Assembly elections and let it be a referendum on Hindi imposition,” he said.
He concluded by stating, “History is clear. Those who tried to impose Hindi on Tamil Nadu have either been defeated or later changed their stance and aligned with DMK. Tamil Nadu will not tolerate Hindi colonialism replacing British colonialism. Hindi imposition suffocates non-Hindi speakers, who are the majority in India.”
