Language Policy Under Fire: DMK Minister Claims 90,000 Karnataka Students Failed Due to Language Imposition
Chennai: Tamil Nadu Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi has criticised the Centre’s language policy, claiming that over 90,000 students in Karnataka failed their board examinations due to what he described as the “imposition of a language”.
Speaking at a student competition on Friday, Poyyamozhi argued that the existing language requirements in schools are overly rigid. “The third language should be an option, not a compulsion”, he said, advocating for greater flexibility in language education across the country.
The minister also took aim at the Union government for allegedly withholding education funds from southern states. “The Centre is threatening progressive states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala by choking off vital education funding”, he charged. “Despite this, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has stepped in to ensure the state will cover the shortfall”.
The remarks come in the wake of similar concerns raised by DMK MP Kanimozhi, who recently encouraged North Indians to embrace South Indian languages, highlighting the broader political debate surrounding linguistic diversity and centralised policy mandates.
