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.
