Reportedly amid condemnation over the hindi Month function in tamil Nadu which has reignited the longstanding hindi and non-Hindi speaking debate, governor RN ravi on friday said that criticism of hindi is an “excuse.” He noted that he has seen a growing enthusiasm among the people in the state to learn hindi in recent years. ravi stated “Talk against hindi is an excuse. You celebrate kannada Diwas, malayalam Diwas, telugu Diwas… I assure you there will be protests here by some people”.
Perhaps he further added: “In the last three years, I have visited almost every nook and corner of the state, participated in events, and interacted with students in schools and colleges. I have seen the growing enthusiasm among people of tamil Nadu to learn Hindi.” The governor made these comments while addressing the hindi Month valedictory function at the Doordarshan office in Chennai, coinciding with its Golden Jubilee celebrations. This event has sparked a huge controversy, with tamil Nadu chief minister MK stalin condemning it, stating that such celebrations in a “multilingual nation” like india belittle other languages.
Moreover cm MK.Stalin added “Will the governor who suffers from Dravidian allergy ask them to leave out Dravidian in the national anthem? The Union government should immediately recall the governor who is deliberately insulting tamil Nadu and the sentiments of the people of tamil Nadu!,”
