Tamil is far older than Hindi, closer perhaps to Sanskrit, and Hindi can’t be imposed on any language, Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi said on Thursday.
Unfortunately, over a period of time, out of ignorance or whatever one might call, there were certain policies which in 1960 tried to impose Hindi as a language. “Tamil is far older than Hindi and if any language that can come closer to Tamil in its antiquity is Sanskrit not any other Indian language,” the Governor said.
“There’s no question of imposing any other language on Tamil, as this created a distance,” Ravi said in his interaction with Tamil language students of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) during their “Tamil Nadu Darshan” at the Raj Bhavan here.
