#Recolonisation in the name of #Decolonisation!
The audacious attempt by the Union BJP Government to tamper with the essence of India's diversity through a sweeping overhaul - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill - reeks of linguistic imperialism. This is an affront to the very foundation of #INDIA's unity. BJP and Prime Minister Modi have no moral right to even utter the word #Tamil hereafter.
In the crucible of history, Tamil Nadu and DMK have emerged as the vanguards against such oppressive overtones. From the Anti-hindi agitations to safeguarding our linguistic identity, we have withstood the storm of #HindiImposition before, and we shall do it again, with unyielding determination.
The fire of resistance against #HindiColonialism is ablaze once more. The BJP's audacious bid to supplant our identity with Hindi will be opposed resolutely.
#StopHindiImposition
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin fiercely criticized the Union BJP government for overhauling the criminal legal system by introducing bills with exclusively Sanskritized Hindi titles—the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Bill. Denouncing the move as recolonisation under the guise of decolonisation, Stalin declared that titling foundational penal codes in Hindi violates the secular, multilingual ethos of India and undermines the equality of non-Hindi citizens.
The Chief Minister asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the ruling BJP have surrendered any moral authority to speak of respecting Tamil culture while aggressively imposing Hindi through central legislative drafting. He recalled Tamil Nadu's heroic historical legacy in spearheading anti-Hindi agitations to protect linguistic sovereignty, warning that the DMK will fearlessly lead nationwide resistance against cultural homogenisation. Stalin emphasized that national unity thrives on federal mutual respect, not enforced linguistic uniformity.
Stalin demanded the withdrawal of the exclusionary Hindi titles and the preservation of universal, non-partisan legal nomenclature. He reaffirmed that Tamil Nadu will resolutely oppose every attempt to erode regional linguistic identities and constitutional federalism.
He reiterated that safeguarding linguistic equality and cultural diversity remains non-negotiable for preserving constitutional democracy across India.
