Essay Paper

Editorial

Q – “Only Compulsion in learning Hindi is met with

resistance in the State of Tamil Nadu” Explain?

INTRO = Tamil Nadu’s two-language policy, implemented

decades ago after a historic agitation against the imposition

of Hindi, remains non-negotiable for almost the entire

political class. Opposition from the State had last year

forced the Centre to amend the draft NEP and withdraw a

proposal to teach Hindi as a third language in schools in

non-Hindi speaking States. Yet in the NEP, approved by the

Union Cabinet last week, it chose to push for the three-

language formula, packaging it as a means to promote

multilingualism and “national unity”.

Though the policy said that no language will be imposed on any

State, it has expectedly cut no ice with parties in Tamil Nadu,

which have risen in near unison to oppose the proposal. In fact,

Mr. Palaniswami, citing “collective sentiments” of the people,

noted that the proposal was “saddening and painful” and

appealed to the Prime Minister to allow States to follow their

own language policy.

In a State that resisted multiple attempts to impose Hindi

since 1937, political parties are understandably wary of any

mandate to impart an additional language in schools.

They fear this would eventually pave the way for Hindi to

enter the State through the back door.

Since 1985, the State has even refused to allow Jawahar

Navodaya Vidyalayas to be set up as they teach Hindi.

The history of the “2 Language Policy” & what it means –

The two-language policy of Tamil and English, piloted by

former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai in 1968, has thus far

worked well in the State. In a liberalised world, more

windows to the world are being opened up for those

proficient in English, a global link language. The State’s

significant human resources contribution to the ever-

expanding IT sector is also attributed to the English fluency

of its recruits as much as to their technical knowledge.

There is this counter-argument that Tamil Nadu is depriving

students of an opportunity to learn Hindi, touted as a

national link language. However, its voluntary learning has

never been restricted –

1) The growth over the past decade in the number of CBSE

schools, where the language is taught, would bear

testimony to this.

2) The patronage for the 102-year-old Dakshina Bharat Hindi

Prachar Sabha, based in Chennai, also proves this.

3) In the Sabha’s centenary year, Tamil Nadu accounted for

73% of active Hindi pracharaks (teachers) in South India.

4) Out of necessity, many in the State have picked up

conversational Hindi to engage with the migrant population that

feeds the labour needs from factories to hair salons.

Only compulsion is met with resistance. India’s federal nature

and diversity demand that no regional language is given

supremacy over another. Thus, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister

Edappadi K. Palaniswami has only reiterated the State’s

unwavering position on an emotive and political issue.

Q – Write a short note about the suspension of H-1B visas in

the U.S?

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order

preventing federal agencies from contracting or subcontracting

foreign workers — mainly those on H-1B visas.

The move comes over a month after the Trump administration

on June 23 suspended the H-1B visas, along with other types of

foreign work visas, until the end of 2020 to protect American

workers in a crucial election year.

Mr. Trump’s order follows an announcement by the federally-

owned Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) that it would

outsource 20% of its technology jobs to companies based in

foreign countries.

TVA’s action could cause more than 200 highly-skilled

American tech workers in Tennessee to lose their jobs to low-

wage, foreign workers hired on temporary work visas. He said

his administration will not tolerate firing of hardworking

Americans in pursuit of cheap foreign labour (outsourcing).

Social Justice Q – What does the TB notification fall in the National TB Elimination Programme, 2020 mean?

There has been a drop of 3.4 lakh tuberculosis (TB) cases reported from January to June this year as against the same period in 2019. Experts attribute the decline to the inability of TB patients to avail health services during the lockdown months and caution that TB control programmes must prepare themselves for major difficulties ahead as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

As against a total of 12.50 lakh TB cases that were notified to

the National TB Elimination Programme from January till June

in 2019, this year, from January till June, a total of 9.15 lakh

TB cases were notified.

Missing cases refer to the difference between the estimated

cases and the number reported to the TB programme,

assuming an incidence of 199 cases/one lakh population as

stated in the India TB report 2020. TB had become a

notifiable disease in 2012 and overall, there has been a 14

per cent increase in TB notifications to the National TB

Elimination Programme, with 6.78 lakh notified from the

private sector.

“ There is also hope that due to adoption of new behaviours,

use of masks, social distancing and cough etiquettes, there

might be a reduction of transmission of TB during the

pandemic,”

How about this today!?
