Remember the dozen cities in Tamilnadu (Chennai, Coimbatore, Pollacji, Madurai ........) where peaceful Tamil student demonstators were murdered by Indian security forces in February 1965.

Very nice, Trollus. Any coverage in Bloomberg or BBC?

PS: Would you like to add anything with your other handle, Trollus?

Fortnight ago, an anti-Hindi rally in Madras denounced the "imposition of Hindi" as "discriminatory tyranny." Other southerners even charged "Hindi imperialism," and a Madras political party planned to spend Republic Day in mourning. Last week in Bengali-speaking West Bengal, trucks bearing license plates in Hindi were ordered off roads on the plea that cops were unable to read them—obviously a deliberate and calculated harassment of Hindistate shipping.

Desks of West Bengal bureaucrats are already piled high with letters from opposite numbers in Uttar Pradesh, which they cannot read, much less answer, since the senders in dutiful obedience to the new law failed to attach English translations.
