DMK MP Kanimozhi delivered a remarkably impactful and articulate response to a question about India's national language during a recent overseas event, leaving a b impression on the Indian community present.
New Delhi: The debate surrounding India's national language has persisted for years. However, an Indian MP in Spain provided a response that not only imbued the event with a sense of pride but is now becoming a symbol of India's rich cultural and linguistic diversity. The occasion was a dialogue program organized for the Indian community in Madrid, Spain, where DMK MP Kanimozhi was unexpectedly asked, "What is the national language of India?"
This question often sparks debate in political circles. However, Kanimozhi deftly and effectively resolved this perplexing question, powerfully presenting India's core ethos on a global stage. With a smile, she replied, "India's national language is unity in diversity." The hall erupted in prolonged applause.
India's Identity: Its Linguistic Diversity
Kanimozhi further stated that India's identity is not defined by a single language but by the multitude of languages that form the very soul of the nation. This is the message India is conveying to the world today. Her statement is rapidly going viral on social media, and particularly in Tamil Nadu and other parts of South India, it is being viewed as a testament to the DMK's ideological consistency and its vocal advocacy for linguistic rights.
Kanimozhi Leads International Delegation
This incident occurred while Kanimozhi was leading an all-party delegation on a 33-nation tour to share information on Operation Sindhur and Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. This delegation includes representatives from all major parties, such as:
- Rajiv Rai (Samajwadi Party)
- Mian Altaf Ahmad (National Conference)
- Brijesh Chouta (BJP)
- Prem Chand Gupta (RJD)
- Ashok Kumar Mittal (AAP)
- Also, two senior former diplomats, Manjeev Singh Puri and Javed Ashraf, are part of the delegation.
The aim of this tour is to strengthen India's global standing and clearly articulate India's stance on terrorism.
DMK's Opposition to the Three-Language Policy
DMK MP Kanimozhi has long been a critic of the central government's three-language policy and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The party argues that this policy attempts to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states and is against the spirit of federalism. Kanimozhi has repeatedly asserted in Parliament and on public platforms that Tamil Nadu remains committed to its bilingual system of Tamil and English and that there is no question of changing it.
