Anti-Hindi Zealots, This Is Not 1965, For Sure!
Netizens demanded their pound of flesh from the DMK which is spearheading protests against perceived Hindi imposition through the New Education Policy.

Today anti Hindi utterances get prompt and curt rebuttals. “The NEP of the Union government suggests learning the Hindi language be made compulsory till 8th standard across the country while maintaining a three-language formula”, The Indian Express Delhi reported mischievously, setting in motion anti Hindi protests.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Prasad won with a slender margin of 1,816 votes, thanks to the combined decision of the villagers. They had met and decided to vote for prasad. Atleast 1,500 of them voted for Prasad. “I am happy that those people remember it after two decades and supported me”, he said.
