A ground report from Tamil Nadu highlights the intensifying political campaign ahead of the state assembly elections, with the two-language versus three-language policy emerging as a central issue. State ministers and ruling party representatives strongly defend the two-language formula, arguing that imposing a third language could lead to increased student dropout rates. They also accuse the union government of withholding crucial education funds to force the implementation of the new education policy. Conversely, opposition party representatives argue that the three-language policy promotes mother tongues and accuse the state government of hypocrisy, claiming that private schools run by ruling party members already teach three languages. The report also sheds light on the electoral participation of a prominent lottery businessman’s family members, who are contesting from multiple constituencies representing different political factions. Furthermore, local students express mixed opinions on the language debate, with some supporting the state’s dual-language stance to protect their mother tongue, while others view the three-language system as beneficial but criticize its perceived forced implementation.
