BJP argued Congress lost Bengal long before TMC emerged, blaming the Gandhi family's leadership for the party's nationwide downfall.

SUMMARY
# टाटा संस की लिस्टिंग से किसे होगा सबसे ज्यादा फायदा?

Why Tamil Nadu Has No Navodaya Schools: The 'Hindi' Question Behind A Decades-Old Standoff

SUMMARY
Tamil Nadu remains the only state without Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas, free residential schools for rural talent, due to its strong anti-Hindi stance. Established in 1986 under the National Education Policy, these schools mandate Hindi as a third language. Tamil Nadu rejected them, fearing Hindi imposition, rooted in the violent 1965 anti-Hindi agitations. Successive state governments, across parties like DMK and AIADMK, have opposed their setup, prioritizing Tamil language pride and the two-language policy (Tamil and English). Despite central funding and proven success in other states, Tamil Nadu's resistance remains firm, denying lakhs of rural students access to quality free education over linguistic politics.
