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.
