Tamil Nadu Stands Firm on Two‑Language Policy After Supreme Court Calls for Hindi Mindset Shift

The Supreme Court recently urged a shift in mindset towards Hindi, calling for a more inclusive approach to language policy. In response, the Tamil Nadu government has reaffirmed its stance on the state's two‑language policy, which mandates the use of Tamil and English in official matters. The government stated that this policy is designed to preserve the linguistic heritage of the state while ensuring administrative efficiency. Analysts note that the decision underscores Tamil Nadu's long‑standing emphasis on Tamil as a cultural cornerstone, even as it seeks to accommodate national language requirements.
