I'm from Maharashtra and now i myself am saying that its a gone state. Now even the natives have started speaking Hindi amongst themselves. Such are the consequences of Hindianization. Now i support the South for their resistance against this✊

Every citizen of India has the right to study his choice of languages. Equally IF ONE WANTS TO STUDY HINDI IN TAMIL NADU THE GOVT IS DUTY BOUND TO PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY. At the same time NO LANGUAGE INCLUDING HINDI SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON ANYONE.

One thing very much clear our Tamil Nadu people, this Stalin what he done for people for welfare, why stuppppid type of activities, no body bothered this hindi invitation by governor, even Congress played with tamil people long back they forget now, but people of Tamil Nadu not forget how congress is imposed the hindi to Tamil Nadu, ... Stalin no other topics and he not done anything, simply using our Tamil language, making issues, no problem but people of Tamil Nadu understood tamil used by DMK for politics only no other use, sentiments creating....

Madam, we are not enthusiastic about learning Hindi, in school because we have enough Maths, Science & social to study. People who want to study can learn Hindi. Ask Modi to remove all the competitive exams, then the state will make the Science & Maths subjects simpler. Then it will be easier to learn the third language.

[Kumarshere]

If Hindi is imposed it will be opposed. It doesn’t matter who is in power.

Can Stalin deny that in Sunshine school under his family management, hindi is not taught? Can he vouchsafe that in none of the schools run by the dravidian politicians, hindi is nit taught? Can he deny that Tiruchi Siva and Kanimozhi know hindi very well? His party has ruined the life's of students for the past 70 years.

[varghesecheria]

Tamil. It's level is too high. 😊
No one can force them to twist.

[rukminigopalakrishnan]

First ask him what his mother tongue is? And 30% of the ministers in his cabinet are not Tamil speaking people.

[n.appadurai]

Gov intends to damage the good work done by TN in the recent rain
Gov is of No use for TN
Why the president is allowing after his term ends
Does he's so important or will not hear people's voice

[elpirtrotallisco]

Union government should consider Hindi as 'a' language of India rather than 'the' language of India.

[aravamudantirumalasrinivas]

Left to themselves, everyone wants to learn Hindi because it will be helpful in the long run because they can freely move to any part of India and earn livelihood.

[IniyaMuthukumarac]

I like to teach my daughter hindi. she like to learn hindi. She is studying in government school. I want to join her in hindi or private school for learning hindi. If i have money y i want to joint her in government school.

What was wrong in it? I am from telugu..if we can speak british's English, why can't we speak Hindi? This is only because of some politicians not the public..these politicians want the people as slaves, on the name of statement, we must love our mother tongue but we should respect other languages..Hindi is one of the Indian languages and most of the people speak it. Nothing wrong in it. If we like to speak only our regional language, we can't live in another places or other countries. How our people go foreign countries and have good positions there? Stupid leaders make the people fools..

All States where Central Govt offices celebrates Hindi day /week/ month. State's could also take initiative to celebrate their Language day or month .
