The Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin and Governor RN Ravi are clashing over perceived 'Hindi imposition.' Stalin criticised Ravi for disrespecting the 'Tamizh Thaai Vaazhthu' and accused the central government of neglecting Tamil language development while heavily funding Sanskrit.

Opposition parties, led by DMK and Congress, attacked Ravi's decision to attend the celebration as insulting Tamil sentiments. The opposition went further by suggesting that the governor had offended the Tamil conscience by attending a mainly Hindi celebration.

The controversy surrounding the alleged distortion of the Tamil Nadu State anthem at a Doordarshan event has sparked a massive political uproar, with Chief Minister MK Stalin launching a scathing attack on Governor RN Ravi.

A dispute arose after the line referencing the 'Dravidian nation' was omitted from Tamil Nadu's anthem, leading CM MK Stalin to criticize Governor RN Ravi and the celebration of Hindi Month, arguing for respect towards local languages in multilingual India.
