The point is not refusing what the leaders say.. I too believe that tamil needs to be guarded.. preserved.. but making it a classical language or erasing the english names will not change.. when they had the power to enact rules.. did they bring some rules to make everybody study in tamil medium schools till 5th or 8th..
At the end of the day, if i study in tamil medium school, can i do my MBBS (can i first of all qulaify with that many marks studying in tamil? are there people to teach me?)or BE? (just go back and check it out.. In this years 12th results, who is the person who got first mark among tamil medium students.. who cares...)
So what are we fighting at.. we dont have the infrastructure to teach in tamil and survive in tamil.. we can only write stories and film songs in tamil now.. if i study in tamil medium, i can only become a peon (ok agreed.. a clerk) in a government office.. (i am not teasing anybody.. but telling matter of factly).. or i should become a lawyer or politician.. (or the better profession god man..).
we always quote japan korea and china germany for using their mother tongue.. there you can do anything in their language.. they need not learn english or other language to survive..here i have to.. When i left chennai, 17 years back to bhopal for a job in P&G, i dont know a single syllable in Hindi..(we used to call it a kuthirai karan(horse rider's) language.. hai hai nnu sollaranga nnu).. I could not get food.. the shop keepers used to say , tell me the name of the thing u want.. no this , that buziness..).. we have discussions if we should translate the speech of the governer into tamil or not.. how many of our ministers speak in tamil in the parliament.. none of the hindi belt politicians speak in angrazee including Atal bihari.
Our leader is saying that he let his Nephew become minister becoz he speak hindi.. that is the basic culture we have.. we dont want tamil except for writing and talking in political meetings.
I too agree that "epporul yaar yaar vaai ketpinum". But here all that people say are loaded..This ultimately expects every body to fight so that the other person can grow.. the irony is his party office should have been the first target to erase english. he should have cleaned his shit.. turn towards our own houses.. are we willing to put our children in a tamil medium school or college..
what is the big purpose served in these protests.. and supporting the leaders who lead these protests..
We always keep ourselves in isolation to survive.. that is not the right thing.. we should equip ourselves to fight and then win.. its the same story of two lines.. and rubbing the bigger line to show the smaller line as big. How long can we do that..
we are worried about getting the credit.. who did this.. today the leaders say i did not say anything for srilankan tamils..its you who did that.. vazhga tamizh patru.. tamizhan endru sollada talai kunindu nillada.. I remember my fellow students who died in 1983 in tiruchi when the bus driver drove over them when we were protesting the death of tamils in srilanka.. Now its a pride to say, its not me who supported the tamils.. (what they did not say openly is "we wanted all of them to die.. so that nobody can dismiss my govt quoting my regime encouraged their movement in the state")
let the personal agendas rule this country and let tamil die a natural death..
(sorry if i have hurt anybody.. unless we remove the entire amma ayya culture and bring in a selfless leader we are going nowhere..this is my personal pain as i see lots of my people study only english and my own niece asked me if i write poetry in tamil and said can you please translate that for me as i cannot read tamil.. They dont live in america or Mumbai.. they are in Kumbakonam..)
Let our governments go ahead and pass a legislation that all the schools including kendriya vidyalaya or CBSE based schools or madarasas should teach everything in tamil till 8th standard. Then i will accept these guys have something for tamil.. Ramadas wants to showoff that he is the next karunanidhi.. and does whatever karunanidhi did in 1964 against hindi so that he can become CM in 2010 like Vijayakant doing things that MGR did .. history may repeat again..
