M.K. Stalin (Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu) has condemned the recently introduced curriculum framework by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), which aligns with the National Education Policy 2020, as a strategic move to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states. He argues that this initiative, disguised as a promotion of Indian languages, undermines the rich linguistic diversity of India by favoring Hindi. Stalin points out that while southern states are compelled to teach Hindi, there is no requirement for students in Hindi-speaking states to learn regional languages like Tamil or Telugu, highlighting the policy's discriminatory nature. He questions the Union government's commitment to promoting Indian languages, citing its failure to make Tamil mandatory in schools and the lack of qualified teachers and resources for implementation. Stalin warns that this policy could deepen regional inequalities in education and employment opportunities, urging a shift towards preparing students for future skills in sectors like artificial intelligence and gaming. He emphasizes that India's strength lies in its diversity, and any attempt to enforce uniformity threatens the nation's pluralistic foundation.
