Protest Against Three-Language Policy in Dallas
A segment of the Tamil diaspora in Dallas, USA, organized a protest on Saturday opposing the three-language policy and the alleged imposition of Hindi in Tamil Nadu. The protesters carried placards denouncing the central government’s National Education Policy (NEP), with slogans such as “Don’t threaten Tamils. Don’t impose Hindi. We don’t need the three-language policy.”
Support from Tamil Nadu Leadership
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin voiced his support for the protest by sharing news clippings on his social media platforms, stating, “Let Tamil live for long.” This sentiment resonates deeply with many Tamilians who are concerned about the preservation of their language and culture.
Context of the Protests
The protests in Dallas are part of a broader wave of dissent against the central government’s actions, especially regarding the withholding of funds for the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan scheme. Tensions escalated following remarks from Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who indicated that ₹2,152 crore for the scheme would only be released if the state agreed to implement the NEP.
