Tamil is as old as Sanskrit.We should respect Tamil for that reason.But people in tamilnadu should realise that we have to have a national language to keep India as one nation.

The following is my suggestion:
Amend the constitution and
(a) Make all Indian languages National languages as a token of acknowledgement of the rich diversity of the sub-continent and the
equality of all cultures
(b) Declare English as the recommended Official link language (But leave the choice to the states)
(c) Make Hindi the recommended cultural link language (But leave the choice to the states) *
The government then modifies educational syllabi across the country to teach the greatness of all languages just
as it teaches the greatness of all religions.
* Hindi enables poorer people across India to communicate with each other since 40% of Indians speak Hindi versus
5% english , but that is about it : as a written language hindi is almost dead outside of the Hindi belt. In my opinion
people need to learn the mother tongue first followed by Englsih and Basic Hindi (optional). States , of course get to
decide their own cultural policy . This includes
(a) Role of the mother tongue
(b) Role of English
(c) Role of Hindi
(d) Role of other Regional languages
This will ensure that the local culture gets first preference.
We need to encourage a Unity in Diversity model . I however support a basic knowledge of ONE Indian language throughout the country
i.e Hindi (as English requires a formal education)
. It but let the realization come voluntarily, let it not be imposed. Ideally a neutral language such a spoken Prakrit would have been
better but now that Hindi has already spread throughout most of India , it will keep spreading based on the Law of supply and demand .
We can no longer avoid it.
Your comments ,please .

Its coz of the dirty politics done by a ruling party then. It was the illetrates then who were the vote bank for that party was doing all agitations. The litrate side still think this is a stupidity coz we are a part of India and should have a common language. Hindi should be learnt with the regional language also being recogonized. We do have schools teaching hindi here. In fact i had Hindi as my third language till my 10th.

u dont seem to understand the point
tamils ask their language to be made one of the official and national language
moreover tamil language is rich and old than hindi...the literature in it is incomparable
we accept hindi as our third language..but dont like pushing it onto us

It's actually a culture behind it and besides Hindi is far too difficult for them to learn

There should be no national religion. How does naming a religion help the government keep the buses running or provide electricity and water?
Freedom of religion must be a universal human right recognized by all civilized people.
