Tamizhum Tamizhanum

Recent news of karnataka about compulsory Kannada medium schools, Name change of Bangalore To Bengaluru, ( So still changing the city names continues Madras -Chennai, Bombay -Mumbai, Culcutta To Kolkota).Might be Karnataka government forced to do these kind of decisions(mistakes) which is already implemented in Tamilnadu. These kind of political dramas happening all over India for the "NAME" Sake to show there social interest and to divert the people mind from the core issues .But I could not find reason how changing the city name will help the people and in which way its shows the social identity.

In Tamilnadu some politicians keep on exploiting the people in the name of Tamil Patru. Everybody should love there Mother Tongue whichever it is, but restricting people to learn other languages how will help to development of mother Tongue. I don't think Hindi opposition is the right solution for Tamil development. Only middle and low class people are prohibited to learn other languages because they are totally depend upon the government sources. Instead of forcing the people, try to create more & more interest in their mother tongue. Politicians giving more importance to cinema & actors just to get there support during the election time. Instead of giving more importance to cinema, Government should focus on Tamil literature & folk dances. There is no doubt tamil society constantly losing it’s identity in literature, Novels.

I couldn’t find any writers in this generation like Kalki, Jayakanthan, Pudumaipithan. It is just because of no recognition and reward for the writers. I have doubt is there any state award for writers. Even most of the novels and books are not available OR otherwise too costly.( When I tried to buy Ore Iravu written by C.N. Annadurai I couldn’t get).Instead of making more & more Anna statutes It will be better to publish some his writings in low price edition.
