NPOV

The article as it stands is written almost entirely from the Tamil POV ("Indian security forces massed into Tamil Nadu and their ruthless shootings of unarmed demonstrators" etc), and is very short on what these "impositions" and their rationale actually were.

This article ONLY focuses on the Tamil perspective of Hindi-Agitations. While it is true that violent agitations primarily occurred in Tamil Nadu only, there are many other states, including, but not limited to, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal, the Northeastern states, and many others had mild "agitations" against Hindi imposition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.188.87.114 (talk) 03:46, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Other Indo-Aryan languages?

Would the recent Marathi riots of Maharashtra incited by Raj Thackeray of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena fall under this article or should there be a wider resistance to Hindi category?

I support adding that too into this article as its almost the same kind of agitation

And now there's more of the same. It makes me wonder sometime why Bollywood doesn't move out of state or just switch to English.

Or perhaps this just needs to go in the MNS article as it doesn't seem to have legs outside a tiny fringe?

Citations Needed

Is there a reference for this sentence under "Post Independence" section?? If not it should be removed. I'm not sure about the meaning of "Indian security forces", does it mean the Army, CRPF or TN police?

"In addition to the killings by Indian security forces", Chinnaswamy, Muthu, Ranganathan, Sarangapani, Sivalingam and Veerappan poured petrol (gasoline) over their bodies and burned themselves to death in protest of Hindi imposition.

Its a POV source. It does not meet the criteria of WP:RS. So please refrain from inserting information from its pages. --KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 15:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

major revamping

I have done some work trying to add more information. The job is still unfinished. Will work on it whenever I get time. Others are welcome to improve upon. Docku:“what up?” 04:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

new unreferenced changes

User:Sarvagnya has made these changes without providing any reference to it. I brought it up in his talk page. His answer is If you think it is missing something.. add it! Or sit back and relax. Somebody will get to it eventually. Sorry, that is not the way it works. You just dont add unreferenced material especially if it is disputable and controversial. The article is missing references for agitations in other parts of India. Docku:“what up?” 20:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

The term "Anti Hindi agitations" looked up on Google Scholar gives me articles talking about TN alone . All opposition to Hindi as National language wasn't termed as Anti-Hindi agitation. Agitation is indeed a strong word and was used only (correct me here if am wrong) for the ones that happened in TN at two different occasions. The other oppositions can be termed as Opposition to Hindi as National language where Anti-Hindi agitation would be a part, but not otherwise. 9/11 will redirect to September 11 attacks atacks because the media termed it so and not to September 11.

Title and content

I think the article should focus only on the 1965 agitations (which can be described much better than they are). Of course, the article should then be moved to Anti-Hind agitation, or the "Anti-Hindi agitation of 1965'. Comments? --Regents Park (sink with my stocks) 02:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Constitutional amendment?

From reading about this, it appears that there was a constitutional requirement that Hindi be the official language of India (and hence the language of the government). Was there an amendment to get around this (I don't thing so)? What legal mechanism did the Shastri government use to get around the constitutional requirement? --Regents Park (sink with my stocks) 02:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
