Reportedly actor turned politician kamal hassan stated that the Hindi language was a 'little child in diapers' compared to older languages such as Tamil, Telugu, and Sanskrit. Meanwhile the ongoing debate and opposed Hindi imposition across the nation, mostly South, is bringing in more controversies. Furthermore Kamal quoted at a college event, 'Among the family of languages, the youngest one is Hindi and we will have to take care of Hindi because it is our child too.
Perhaps when compared to Tamil, Sanskrit and Telugu, it is still the youngest language.' He later clarified his opinion that he has compassion and kindness towards the Hindi language, but it should not be imposed or forced on others, especially on non-Hindi speakers. 'Don't stuff it down our throats’. Apparently the same day, MK Stalin has appealed to Prime Minister narendra modi to make Tamil an official language of the country.
Moreover Kamal's statement caused outrage among a few netizens that he insulted Hindi and showed his anti-Hindi imposition stance in the wrong way. Meanwhile a few others went on to support his leader and the statement has now stirred controversy, leading to many counter-productive statements from Hindi-speaking countries.
