"Which 3rd Language is Taught in North": MK Stalin Questions Centre over NEP | Latest News India
Introduction
In the midst of the ongoing debate on the alleged "imposition of languages" in southern states, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin has intensified his criticism of the three-language formula, questioning the Centre’s stance on the New Education Policy (NEP) and the language policy in general.
Centre’s Three-Language Formula: A double standard?
While the Centre claims that the three-language formula is an effort to promote all Indian languages, the question on everyone’s mind is: "Which third language is taught in North?"

Allegations of Imposition and Hindi Dominance
Tamil Nadu is not the only state to have raised concerns about the Centre’s language policy. Several other states, including Karnataka, Telangana, and Kerala, have also expressed their opposition to the NEP, citing the alleged move to impose Hindi on non-Hindi speaking states.
What Does the Centre Have to Say?
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has clarified the Centre’s stance on the three-language formula, stating that it is designed to promote all Indian languages and give equal importance to all. "NEP 2020 should give importance to Indian languages. All Indian languages have equal rights, and all should be taught in the same way. This is the objective of the NEP," he said in Haridwar.
The Way Forward
