Question

The Anti-Hindi movement was also led as
1] Anti-Brahmanism
2] Anti-Sikh
3] Anti-Dalit
4] None of these

Answer 1

Hint: The Anti-Hindi movement was a range of agitations that occurred in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu throughout both pre-and post-Independence periods. The rages included numerous mass protests, student and political movements in Tamil Nadu based on the official status of usage of Hindi in the state.

Complete answer:
E. V. Ramasamy promptly opposed this move along with the opposition Justice Party. The movement, which lasted for almost three years, was multifaceted and included fasts, marches, conferences, picketing, and rallies. The Government reacted with a crackdown causing the deaths of two protesters as well as the arrests of several people, including women and children. The British Governor then withdrew mandatory Hindi education in February \[1940\] after the retirement of the Congress Government in the year \[1939\]. The allowance of an accepted language for the Indian Republic was a fiercely discussed issue during the time of the construction of the Indian Constitution after India's freedom from the UK. After an exhaustive debate, Hindi was approved as the official language of India, and English continued as an associate approved language for fifteen years, and then Hindi would become the individual official language. The current constitution came into power in January \[1950\]. Attempts by the Indian Government to make Hindi the sole official language was not agreeable to various non-Hindi Indian states, who desired the continued use of English. The anti-Hindi movement observed the Hindi legislation as an effort by Brahmins to force Hindi and Sanskrit over Tamil. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, who was a descendant of Dravidar Kazhagam, headed the resistance to the Hindi language. To ease their fears, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru established the Official Languages Act to secure the continuing use of English. The subject of the Act did not please the DMK and raised their suspicion that his certainties might not be accepted by future administrations. The first anti-Hindi imposition movement originated in \[1937\], in opposition to the initiation of mandatory education of Hindi in the schools of Madras Presidency by the primary Indian National Congress government.
So, the correct answer is Option A.

Note: While the day of changing over to Hindi as the individual official language neared, the anti-Hindi movement obtained force in Madras State with extended support from university students. In January, a full-scale protest broke out in the city of Madurai, sparked off by a trivial altercation between students as well as Congress party members.
