Published: Jan 22 2025, 4 pmeznews.inThe language dispute in southern India has escalated to the Supreme Court as a lawyer from Tamil Nadu, GS Mani, has petitioned for the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) and its three-language curriculum in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and West Bengal. Mani argues that the NEP is designed to enhance educational quality for all students, while state governments resist the plan, alleging it imposes Hindi for political reasons. Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has criticized the Centre's push for the three-language formula, claiming it threatens the cultural identity of non-Hindi-speaking states and is linked to political motives like delimitation. The BJP supports the policy, asserting it is necessary, while opposition parties and civil society advocate for the existing two-language system of Tamil and English. Tensions heightened after Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan warned that Tamil Nadu would not receive funding under the Samagra Shiksha scheme without NEP compliance.
