Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday said people who were united by their language could not be separated by narrow issues such as religion and caste.
Launching the Tamil Parappurai Kazhagam, created for the purpose of teaching the language to the Tamil diaspora, he said a large number of Tamil people were living in 30 countries while small groups were living in 60 countries.
“In some countries, they are not able to read and write Tamil because of the medium of instruction and employment. The Kazhagam has been launched to teach them Tamil,” Mr. Stalin said and released Tamil text books in 24 languages for level one.
