#Language #evolution is natural, not "hegemonic" unless there's #LinguisticCleansing, as undertaken by #Tamil purists like #Maraimalai #Adigal in 1916 to "Make Tamil Pure Again"
There's no doubt that some of this ugly #reactionary practice is resurgent among #Hindutva proponents who want to "Make Hindi Pure Again"
That calls for a push against reactionary #ideologies like Thanith Tamil Iyakkam (Independent Tamil Movement), not Hindi or Tamil languages themselves.

How does a LANGUAGE #enslave people? Are we enslaved by #English?
#LinguisticCleansing of #Tamil predates independence of #India. #Maraimalai #Adigal started Thanith Tamil Iyakkam (Independent Tamil Movement) in 1916.
Putting Tamil hostility toward #Hindi under umbrella of #HindiImposition is deceptive & distracting.
Real goal of Tamil language #bigotry has ALWAYS been to strip out & exclude ALL INDIGENOUS languages, including #Sanskrit, from Tamil.

Not limited to #white #supremacy.
#Tamil language bigots like MK #Stalin, CN #Annadurai, TT #Krishnamachari, Periyar EV #Ramasamy, and #Maraimalai #Adigal indulged in #linguisticCleansing to Make Tamil Pure Again and hasten the extinction of #Sanskrit.
They engaged in #militant rhetoric, such as language #imperialism and #enslavement, leading their followers to death by #selfImmolation, #poisoning, and #rioting while they themselves stayed away like #Trump did on #Jan6.
