00:00Story the showdown over the national education policy is only heating up union education monthly the remainder padan and Tamil
00:06Nadu chief in his 10k star in lock horns over the NAP
00:112023 language policy
00:13Retreating that education policy is no intention to impose any language or any state the main department is our style in to rise
00:20Above politics and not use educational reforms as threads the shiksha monthly countered Stalin with a scathing letter saying that there is no
00:29question of imposing Hindi and that every Indian language
00:34Including Tamil will be strengthened and revived under the NAP
00:37not just that the education minister also slammed Tamil Nadu government for viewing NAP with a myopic view and
00:44Claims opposition to implement it to implementing. It is only depriving students and teachers
00:50Earlier Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin slammed the center over the three language policy claiming the center threatened to stop
00:57Puns with Tamil Nadu if it did not implement the new education policy
01:03He has written the letter not in a good spirit
01:10He has mentioned few
01:16Imaginary
01:18concerns through that letters
01:22And this letter is full of
01:25Political motivation
01:27education should not be
01:30politicized
01:31to mention NAP
01:332020 a myopic vision
01:36Is highly inappropriate. I
01:41Appeal to raise above from the political difference
01:46from the parochial approach
01:48from the political approach
01:51I have again through a letter request honorable chief minister of Tamil Nadu
01:59Government of India is committed to implement NAP
02:03NAP is not recommending
02:06Imposition of any language on the respective students of the state
02:11That means in no way
02:16NAP is recommending imposition of Hindi in Tamil Nadu
02:20This
02:22Misinformation this
02:25Falsehood should not be spread from the responsible persons
02:49Why
02:54Does the center have to come in and impose a condition of a third language and
02:58By a third language, what do they mean?
03:01Do they mean it could be any language if there is any language does the state or any state have a capacity to teach?
03:07Another language so this this every time you mention a third language in Tamil Nadu. It is only code for Hindi
03:13It is only code for Hindi imposition and Tamil Nadu
03:17culturally and
03:19Ideologically rejects the imposition of Hindi upon us. I mean, is there a demand?
03:23I mean, have you actually has anybody done a survey in government schools in Tamil Nadu asking students and parents whether they would like to learn
03:32Another language and that language be Hindi. Where is is there any data to support that there in in my experience?
03:38In public life and in white travels within the state. There is no takers for Hindi in Tamil Nadu
03:45And a guy is getting asked more details on that story and a guy this has been an ongoing
03:49Tutu mehmeh between the union government and the state government give us a sense of what is the wave forward given that
03:57The DMK led government says that this is the government arm twisting us and this is like
04:02You know cutting off funds from the state is going to deprive us
04:05Well Sneha, apart from that the state government has also stated that a third language is nothing but a code for
04:12Hindi to make its way into the Dravidian land. In fact, Udayanidhi Stalin, the deputy chief minister
04:18He also made it amply clear that come what may the state government in Tamil Nadu will remain with the status quo
04:24That is following the two-language policy that follows English and Tamil. That's the mother tongue
04:32There is no scope or space for a third language to make inroads into Tamil Nadu is what the you know
04:40All the opposition leaders be the ones who are ruling in the government or the ones who stay in the opposition
04:45They are saying that the name third language is nothing but a code for
04:50Hindi to be imposed in Tamil Nadu is what they are saying
04:53But apart from that education minister Dharmendra Pradhan also let you know wrote a letter to chief minister Stalin
05:01Assuring that from day one. We've always promoted Tamil language Tamil culture citing specific
05:07instances for example during the Kashi Tamil Sangamam
05:11Thirukkural was released in 15 Indian languages apart from that during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Singapore
05:18Thiruvalluvar cultural center was opened up in Singapore so that you know
05:23The great Tamil scholars insights could reach a wider audience a global base
05:29Thereby promoting and fostering Tamil culture and Tamil language
05:32We've always stood for Tamil identity and that NEP is not an imposition is what Dharmendra Pradhan mentioned in his letter
05:40But the DMK has also responded to his letter now by saying that this is nothing but politics
05:45We are not going to accept third language. You you know, you beat, you know, you make it optional or you make it
05:51Mandatory. It doesn't matter. We are not going to accommodate a third language is what the state government in Tamil Nadu is saying
05:58alright leaving it at that for the moment and again getting us those details as far as the latest showdown between the DMK and the
06:05BJP is concerned
