Hindi imposition

forced usage of Hindi

Hindi imposition is a form of linguistic imperialism when some people want Hindi to be used in States and union territories of India where Hindi is not used. This idea is from the anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu, when politicians wanted Hindi to be taught in schools in the Madras Presidency.[1][2][3]
