When I come to think about the greatness of languages especially Tamil, my thoughts finally come down to the hard realities of today.
Tamil is considered a great language only by Tamils, where as other languages like Chinese, Latin, etc. are accepted as great languages world over.
People in Tamilnadu would rather speak english but not hindi. Similarly the languages like Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu claim to have been derived from Sanskrit rather than Tamil. So they would rather speak english and hindi than tamil.
So, indians as a whole - have we stopped being objective? Or are we just subjective when it is convenient?
Could something be done so that the language could help bring harmony rather than chaos?
