Cricketer R Ashwin's assertion that Hindi is not India's national language but merely an official language has garnered support from BJP Tamil Nadu President Annamalai, who described Hindi as a "language of convenience." During a convocation ceremony near Chennai, Ashwin engaged with students, noting the enthusiasm for Tamil and English, but received silence when he mentioned Hindi. He emphasized that Hindi is not the national language, a sentiment echoed by Annamalai, who referred to it as a "link language." The issue of "Hindi imposition" has long been contentious in Tamil Nadu, prompting protests and campaigns. Last October, Chief Minister MK Stalin wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the avoidance of Hindi-centric events in non-Hindi speaking states, highlighting that the Indian Constitution does not designate any language as national and that Hindi and English serve only official purposes, thus advocating for the recognition of India's linguistic diversity.
