Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin on Saturday raised strong concerns over the recent curriculum framework introduced by Central Board of Secondary Education, calling it a calculated attempt at linguistic imposition.
The new curriculum, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, has drawn criticism from the State government. In a post on X, CM Stalin said the changes are not a simple academic reform but reflect deeper concerns about language policy.
He stated that under the claim of promoting “Indian languages,” the BJP-led NDA government is pushing a centralized agenda that gives preference to Hindi. According to him, this approach risks sidelining the country’s diverse linguistic heritage.
Stalin also pointed to the three-language formula, saying it could act as an indirect way to expand Hindi usage in non-Hindi speaking regions. He described it as a mechanism that raises long-standing concerns among States like Tamil Nadu.
The remarks highlight ongoing debates around education policy and language use, with discussions expected to continue as stakeholders respond to the new framework.
