Dear @swapan55 , you’re missing the wood for the trees as is your usual wont. The point is that for the South & Tamil Nadu in particular, learning another Indian language is not helpful when we have English as our link language! We’ve done very well with Tamil and English so far!

Conflating Hindi with Indian is a problem to be tackled. It is one I have personally encountered. But NEP is clear in its promotion of mother tongue till class 8 & another Indian language—which may or may not be Hindi. @MaliniP is trying to needlessly score a political goal.
