Tamil Nadu
By Our Special Correspondent
For lack of proficiency in Hindi, students from the State could not effectively perform in competitive examinations at the national level. Moreover, lack of knowledge of the language hampered people from Tamil Nadu carrying out trade and commercial activities with their counterparts in the north, he told presspersons at Vriddhachalam, near here. Since 1967, Hindi had been totally abolished in Tamil Nadu, except in certain elite schools. While affluent sections and political leaders were putting their wards in the schools which offered Hindi as an optional subject, it was the poor and the downtrodden who were denied the opportunity of learning an important national language. When his attention was drawn to the statement by the DMK chief, M. Karunanidhi, that the medical care given to the Union Minister, Murasoli Maran, in Indian hospitals probed, Mr. Radhakrishnan said the Centre would look into the matter and take appropriate action.
