Four t-shirts with strong words. Two celebrities. And a powerful message against “Hindi imposition” in Tamil Nadu.

A picture of popular music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja and a young actor, ‘Metro’ Shirish, wearing designer t-shirts that say they are Tamil-speaking Indians and do not know Hindi has set the Tamil Twitter on fire.

Raja, an accomplished composer himself, and son of legendary music director Ilaiyaraaja, wearing a t-shirt with an image of poet-saint Thiruvalluvar and “I am a Tamizh pesum Indian” printed on it is listening to Shirish whose t-shirt says Hindi Theriyadhu Poda (I do not know Hindi Go man). This picture with a caption “deep in discussion, good things coming our way...!” posted by Shirish at 5.37 pm on Saturday set off a frenzied action on Twitter with appreciation pouring in from various quarters for the celebrities and the design, which many say is the brain-child of a DMK leader, for the “strong message.”

Soon, one of the popular verses used on the t-shirts, Hindu Theriyathu Poda, was converted into a hashtag in both Tamil and English along with #TamilSpeaking Indian that trended for the whole of Sunday. #HindiTheriyathuPoda had over 1.75 lakh mentions on Twitter at the time of writing.
As a retaliatory action, another hashtag, DMK Venam Poda (No need for DMK. Go man), was also trended on Twitter on Sunday afternoon with over 37,000 mentions. The BJP also took objection to the t-shirts and trending of anti-Hindi hashtags on Twitter, accusing the DMK of being behind the move.

Why tamils are resisting this? Why, just why? Hindi is a union language. And if it is added on sigh boards to help visitors, what's the issue.

india is like north korea imposing ridiculous things on people

How is Hindi ridiculous? Imagine China having 1 million languages, castes, ethnic groups etc. Part of China's success comes from homogenization. India should have done this a long time ago.

Retardation as usual. IMO there should be one Tamil country and all the Tamils everyone on earth should just live there. Others in different countries should assimilate to the local culture.

This is my point. Tamils should either make Tamil Nadu a separate country or accept Hindi and assimilate into India. Can't have both ways.

“Hindi is looked at as tool of domination by the North Indians. Linguistic activists like me are able to clearly sense the growing irritation among the youngsters," says activist Aazhi Senthilnathan. "There is a strong feeling among the youth in Tamil Nadu that North Indians are dominating and that the Centre is imposing Hindi on them. This is just not in Tamil Nadu. It is happening across south India. The sign boards issue at the metro stations in Bengaluru is an example.” Senthilnathan pointed out that the clerical jobs in the PSUs and the nationalised banks are now being occupied by Hindi-speaking North Indians and this has irritated the people of the state.

He also points out that the youth in Tamil Nadu are the most disturbed because of this trend post 2014. “The labour category and the top clerical category at the PSUs are filled with North Indians. This has made the Tamils jobless, creating a North-South divide,” he adds. Senthilnathan points out that it is not a mere trend or a sentiment, but a livelihood issue.

What spawned the resurgence of identity and linguistic politics? It is the policies of the BJP-led Centre – be it the New Education Policy (NEP) that proposes a three-language formula which Tamils view as facilitating a back-door entry to Hindi or Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s declaration that Hindi was the only language that would integrate India, observers say

Incidents like DMK MP Kanimozhi being asked whether she was an Indian at the Chennai Airport for not knowing Hindi, farmers receiving answers for their questions under the Right to Information Act in Hindi and a Secretary- level officer asking doctors from Tamil Nadu to leave a conference if they did not know Hindi only aggravated the anger of an average Tamil.

Language and identity politics making a comeback in Tamil Nadu

For long, Tamils have worn linguistic pride on their sleeves and language has been an integral part of the state’s politics. It was the then Congress government’s insistence on making Hindi compulsory in schools that opened the gates for Dravidian parties to rule Tamil Nadu since 1967. For over...

But you guys accept English, so what's wrong with Hindi?

But you guys accept English, so what's wrong with Hindi?

You cant compare hindi a regional language with English an international language. Tamils see no benefit from knowing hindi.

Tamils preference of English over hindi has been debated by Tamil politicians and activists. Former Tamilnadu CM has used 2 door analogy.

Plus when Tamilnadu resisted hindi imperial rule in 1960s Nehru has promised not to impose hindi in Tamilnadu and that English will serve as the link language for Tamils and indians.

Not to forget, English is a colonial language and india is a colonial product.
