Stalin’s blistering attack targeted CBSE’s phased rollout from Class VI in the 2026-27 academic session. He argued that the “so-called” three-language model effectively made Hindi “compulsory” in non-Hindi-speaking countries, while Hindi-speaking regions did not have a similar mandate to teach Tamil or other southern languages, which raised questions of equality and fairness.DMK An attempt was also made to bring the AIADMK and its NDA allies into the debate, asking them to clarify their stance.Pradhan dismissed the accusation as a “tired attempt” to cover up governance failures and claimed that multilingualism strengthened rather than weakened regional languages. He believes that in an increasingly connected economy, describing flexibility as an imposition risks narrowing opportunities for students.CBSE’s proposed structure makes a third language mandatory for Class VI, with a mix of two Indian languages.
