DMK MP Kanimozhi’s Response on India’s National Language in Spain Earns Applause, Check Why?

During the Operation Sindoor outreach program in Spain, Kanimozhi made his point about India's language identity very clear. She said, "India does not have anational language.’’ A national language is not the same as an official language. Hindi and English are both official languages. The crowd cheered loudly when she answered clearly and with confidence, showing that many people agreed with her unique point of view.

Kanimozhi's comments show how proud India is of its wide range of languages. India has a lot of different languages and dialects. Its Constitution names 22 of them as "scheduled languages." Kanimozhi pointed out that the Indian Constitution does not name a single tongue as the national language. This is something that is often misunderstood or lied about in public. Her words emphasized the idea of "unity in diversity," which holds the country together.

 Her Viewpoint and the Big Effect

While Kanimozhi was making her speech, it quickly went viral on social media, starting new talks about language politics in India. Hindi has been a controversial national language for a long time. Many states, especially those in the south, are against making Hindi the only national language. It was praised by many on social media and in the political world that Kanimozhi spoke about India's diverse values on an international stage at the outreach event in Spain.

Her words also served as a reminder of how important it is to treat all Indian languages with care and appreciate the country's diversity. People have a better idea of how committed India is to constitutional values and language rights thanks to the outreach event and Kanimozhi's statements.
