Tamil Nadu: Increasing Popularity of Hindi Empty Tamil Nadu: Increasing Popularity of Hindi

From opposition, the DMK seems to have graduated to accommodation. Gone are the days when the party was deeply wedded to opposing Hindi.

Nothing exemplified this more than the glittering banners and posters in Hindi that adorned the streets of Chennai on the 60th birthday of the DMK's rising 'son' M. K. Stalin. It is a major departure from the established code in the party, which is striving to regain lost ground.

In the past, its slogan was 'English ever Hindi never' and it was the agitation against the imposition of Hindi which had propelled the DMK to power in 1967. But, the opposition to Hindi has lost its edge and is no more a tool of political mobilisation.

For, though teaching of the language is still not permitted in state-run schools, neither the DMK nor AIADMK had prevented it from being taught in private schools.
Moreover, these parties have carried out election campaign in Hindi in north Indian migrant hubs.

This is from the official website of the Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu:

Tamil is the language spoken by most of the people in Tamil Nadu, although other Indian languages are also commonly heard in Vellore (Hindi – the national language, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, and Urdu, for instance). Many South Indians, including shopkeepers, know some English, so most visitors who speak English, do not have too much trouble making themselves understood. English is the medium of instruction in the Institution. However, Tamil speakers are obviously very pleased when one makes an attempt to use their language.
