hindi domains seen keen, to secede from Indian federation?

 Alarms ring not from any one State, but from the entire Southern region.

Reality is that India is a federation. It is pluralistic society.

And a single language norm is great injustice, to other members of the federation.

India is not a singular country. 

It comprises of many racial groups with many families of languages. 

That is why we call it the Indian sub-continent. 

And we cannot single out one language, as our official language. 

Our Federal anthem, 'Jana gana mana' and the popular 'Wande Mataram' are not Hindi songs.

To thrust Hindi on non-hindi domains will create permanent damage, as pointed by Mr. P. Thomas from Orissa and Mr. Subburayan. 

This is not just about the DMK. It is about the entire.

Stop tax payments

Tiruppur:

Seeman on Sunday said that, 

India being a multi-lingual federal union of discrete domains; each language domain has it's unique culture, art and way of worship. And priority is always to States and their languages. 

Indian federation can be united, only if there is support for it's variety of languages. 

It is crooked to impose a disconnected federal policy on States, and still collect taxes from it's people. 

And the Federal government now refuses funds, to the State on these issues. 

A resolution needs to be passed in the TN assembly in this regard - to not pay taxes to the union.

Education in State list

Education was moved to the concurrent list only during emergency. 

When the Constitution was framed and came into force, education was on State list. 

Education was the only asset that can never be snatched  by anyone, under any situation. And the State should get education, back on it's list," Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M K Stalin said.

The State provides schemes like 7.5% reservation for government school students, funding to study in IITs, IIMs, and "College dream" schemes.
