| Is Tamil Nadu going to shut door on minority languages? Posted: 23 Feb 2010 09:51 AM PST By Shafee Ahmed Ko, TwoCircles.net, Chennai: This is the fear that intellectuals of minority languages in the predominant Tamil speaking state have today, thanks to the M Karunanidhi government's Samacheer Kalvi (Equitable System of Education) policy that will be in force from the academic year 2010-2011. It is certain that due to the policy, based on two-language system (Tamil and English), the state will not allow, after 2015, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada in public examinations.
