Tamil Nadu: Hindi spreading fast in Thalaivar Land; growing demand in Tamil land to make Hindi compulsory for all
by Guest Fri Aug 29, 2014 10:07 am
But it is equally true that the state is experiencing a new-found fascination for the language – at least over the past decade. From auto-rickshaw drivers to shopkeepers, most people try to speak Hindi, as this correspondent, who comes from the Hindi heartland, has found out in the last two years in Chennai. In the land of Thalaivar Rajinikanth, Bollywood films and songs are quite welcome these days...
While the provincial government has tried making Hindi compulsory in schools even in British India, and the anti-Hindi “imposition” protests and movements have kept pace since, Hindi today is the most popular third language for Tamil Nadu’s younger generation. Going by data provided by the Chennai-based Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha, 2,94,457 students appeared for Hindi Prachar Sabha examinations in Tamil Nadu in 2011, with the number increasing to 3,77,290 in 2012 and 4,36,860 in 2013.
In Chennai alone, the figure was 78,936 in 2011, 98,369 the following year and 1,11,157 in 2013.
Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha was established in 1918 by Mahatma Gandhi with the objective of propagating Hindi in south India. Gandhi wanted to unify the people through a common language and thereby intensify national integration.
Five years later, Dakshina Bharat Hindi Prachar Sabha emerged as an independent organisation in 1927.
While R Rajavel, general secretary of the organisation, said, “(Our) strength is increasing every year,” most office-bearers were hesitant in furnishing details and did not want to elaborate on the issue. “Since we are in Tamil Nadu we don’t want to be quoted. Things are different in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala,” one office-bearer said.
Significantly, reports say there is now a growing demand for compulsory Hindi education in state board schools. In the first week of June, several Tamil Nadu schools, under the aegis of an association, moved the Madras high court against the state government’s decision making Tamil a compulsory language paper in Class X.

There are Rashmun experts on this forum. Do you know how Rashmun gets money for living?
This is serious question. I want to know. His skill seems to be finding information (he is good at it), copying and posting. So I wonder how he gets money for living.

Surely this can be taken up in a separate thread. Focus on the topic of this thread.

Why don't the two of you (KV, Rashmun) marry each other and share the burden of searching meaningless links?
