The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fired back at Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin over his comments regarding funding for Sanskrit, labeling him a hypocrite. BJP Tamil Nadu President K Annamalai accused Stalin of prioritizing Sanskrit over Tamil and criticized him for allegedly distorting the legacy of revered poet Thiruvalluvar for political gains. Stalin had previously called on the BJP to focus on promoting the Tamil language and refrain from imposing Hindi on the state. The clash between the ruling party in Tamil Nadu and the BJP highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding language politics in the region. The BJP’s criticism comes amidst a larger debate over the allocation of resources for the preservation and promotion of different languages in India. The issue has sparked discussions about cultural identity, linguistic diversity, and the balance between regional and national languages. As political parties continue to spar over language policies, the future of linguistic diversity in India remains a topic of heated debate and contention.
