Not a history but a happening
Anti Hindi feelings are present in a sizable section of Tamils in India today. The central government is accused of spreading a false propaganda that learning Hindi will bring prosperity to Tamils..
Hindi is not being imposed on the people. Now that India is more integrated, Hindi is naturally making inroads into other parts of India. However, we must understand that in cities and towns of Tamil Nadu, (apart from Chennai), even today it is literally impossible to transact any business without the knowledge of Tamil.. English is not of great help..
The situation is different in the rest of the country, especially the urban areas.. A knowledge of Hindi and/or English is quite sufficient .. In fact, languages such as Gujarati and Assamese are beginning to decline. And on my last trip to Madurai, Tamil Nadu, I encountered more Hindi speakers. Also, English is proving to be the "ultimate language" of India , contrary to what our freedom fighters had envisioned..
NPOV
The article as it stands is written almost entirely from the Tamil POV ("Indian security forces massed into Tamil Nadu and their ruthless shootings of unarmed demonstrators" etc), and is very short on what these "impositions" and their rationale actually were. Jpatokal 14:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Not just a history
Anti Hindi agitation is not just a history, its a happening in every day life of every Indian from Non-Hindi speaking belt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asprakash (talk • contribs) 08:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
