The DMK-led Tamil Nadu government, under Chief Minister MK Stalin, is set to introduce a landmark bill in the state assembly to ban Hindi movies, songs, and hoardings across Tamil Nadu. The proposed legislation, expected to be tabled on October 15, 2025, marks a significant escalation in the state’s longstanding opposition to what it describes as the imposition of Hindi by the central government.
Sources indicate that the bill will prohibit the use of Hindi in public domains, including hoardings, boards, movies, and songs, reflecting the DMK’s commitment to safeguarding Tamil language and cultural identity. Senior DMK leaders have stressed that the legislation aims to comply with constitutional norms while reinforcing the state’s two-language policy, favoring Tamil and English over Hindi.
The move has sparked sharp political reactions. While the DMK claims the bill is a constitutional and cultural response to defend Tamil identity, critics including BJP leaders have condemned the proposal as “absurd” and accused the ruling party of exploiting language issues for political gain. BJP’s Vinoj Selvam described the bill as a “political tool” to divert attention from controversies facing the state government
The legislative push draws on Tamil Nadu’s history of anti-Hindi protests dating back to the early 20th century, reaffirming the DMK’s ideological stand against the three-language formula promoted by the central government. Chief Minister Stalin and party leaders argue that such policies undermine regional languages and self-respect, instead championing the autonomy of Tamil culture and language.
Legal experts have reviewed the draft to ensure it adheres to the Constitution. The bill emphasizes the right to linguistic identity without infringing on national unity or existing legal frameworks. If passed, the law will ban Hindi representations across the state’s public spaces and entertainment industries, likely fueling further debate on language, federalism, and cultural rights in India.
