This is a significant incident in the history of India. This page needs a lot of expansion.Doctor Bruno 18:02, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not a history but a happening
Anti Hindi is a feeling with majority of Tamils in India today. Still the central government is spreading a false propaganda that learning Hindi will bring prosperity to Tamils? This concept is believed only with people without English knowledge and who are ready to work as slaves. More facts has to be added with the role of individual leaders and the technology growth in Tamil language as well.
Hindi is not being imposed on the people. Now that India is more integrated, Hindi is naturally making inroads into other parts of India. 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 not the "ultimate language" we thought it would be. Spanish is also a growing language, too.
[edit] 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)
[edit] 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).
