Oath and row
The subtle manner in which the oath in the “white coat ceremony” administered to greenhorns in the Madurai Medical college was replaced is condemnable (Page 1, May 2). The State’s government’s response is a befitting one. The wanton manner in which the Union Government is acting, bent on replacing English with Hindi, is one of the causes for creeping linguistic disharmony in India. The Union Government must stop its attempts to shovel Hindi down the throats of people in the non-Hindi speaking States forthwith.
