"Tamil Nadu Ready For Language War": Udhayanidhi Stalin Amid Row Over Hindi | Read

he battle between Tamil Nadu's ruling DMK and the BJP - over the centre's three-language policy and the 'imposition of Hindi' - ramped up Tuesday after Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said "states that accept Hindi lose their mother tongue" and that his state is ready for a 'language war'.

Mr Stalin also doubled down on Chief Minister MK Stalin's "blackmail" swipe at Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, pointing out the state is only demanding its due, both in terms of central government funds for education and money due from devolution of taxes.
