Kashi Tamil Sangamam 4.0 expands Tamil outreach with 50 teachers teaching spoken Tamil in Varanasi schools and 300 Varanasi students visiting Tamil Nadu for immersive learning. This initiative, despite ongoing state-federal education disputes, aims to strengthen India’s linguistic traditions and civilisational ties through reciprocal cultural exchange. PTI file photo  NEW DELHI: Even as the Centre and the DMK-led Tamil Nadu government continue to spar over education-related issues, the fourth edition of the Kashi Tamil Sangamam (KTS) marks a significant expansion of the Union government’s Tamil language outreach with two major initiatives — sending 300 college students from Varanasi to Tamil Nadu for immersive Tamil learning and bringing 50 Tamil teachers to Varanasi schools to teach spoken Tamil. Officials maintain that the push remains culturally anchored and aimed at strengthening India’s linguistic traditions.KTS 4.0 will open at NaMo Ghat on December 2, coinciding with Karthigai Deepam on December 4. More than 1,500 delegates from Tamil Nadu will participate in an eight-day programme featuring knowledge-sharing sessions, cultural events and heritage visits to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, BHU, Sarnath, Hanuman Ghat and the Ayodhya temple. The theme — “Let Us Learn Tamil – Tamil Karkalam” — reinforces the idea of Indian languages as part of a shared civilisational fabric.What makes this year’s edition notable is the Centre’s scaling-up of Tamil-learning programmes at a time when its relationship with the Tamil Nadu government remains strained over NEET, the three-language policy and centralisation of education regulation. Officials say the reciprocal model — Tamil teachers in UP and UP students in Tamil Nadu — is intended to deepen “people-to-people connections.”Under the Tamil KarkaLam campaign, 50 teachers from Tamil Nadu will begin spoken Tamil classes across 50 Varanasi schools from December 2 to 15, reaching 1,500 students. The inaugural batches arrive on December 1.In return, 300 college students from Varanasi will travel in 10 batches to Tamil Nadu between December 17 and 30. After an orientation at the Central Institute of Classical Tamil in Chennai, they will be placed across nine host institutions, including IIT Madras, Central University of Pondicherry, Gandhigram Rural Institute and Shastra University. Formal send-offs are planned in Varanasi.A senior official with the ministry of education said the dual initiatives would “take Tamil learning beyond symbolic engagement to structured classroom exposure.”“KTS 4.0 celebrates India’s knowledge traditions by making language a living bridge,” said the official, adding, “With 50 Tamil teachers reaching 1,500 students in Varanasi schools and 300 college students undertaking Tamil study tours, this edition marks a measurable expansion of linguistic exchange. When Tamil teachers teach in Kashi and students from Varanasi learn Tamil in its native soil, we are renewing the shared heritage and ancient currents that have linked the two regions for centuries.” The Sage Agastya Vehicle Expedition (SAVE) — tracing ancient Tamil–Kashi linkages from Tenkasi to Varanasi — will also be launched on December 2, highlighting civilisational ties shaped by the Chera, Chola, Pandya, Pallava and Chalukya dynasties. It will conclude in Varanasi on December 12.Four allied events under Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat will run alongside the Sangamam.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.

Maulana Mahmood Madani NEW DELHI: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind chief Mahmood Madani on Saturday urged the Muslim community not to be a “murda qaum” (lifeless community) but to remain “zinda” (active) and confront challenges head-on.Speaking at a public rally in Bhopal, Madani said, “We are facing challenges and difficulties… a ‘murda qaum’ surrenders when confronted with hardships. If you are weak, they will ask you to recite Vande Mataram, and you will oblige. But this is the mark of a ‘murda qaum.’” He added, “To be a ‘zinda qaum,’ you must be courageous and face the situation. Remember, it is always a ‘zinda qaum’ that is challenged. They will keep testing you – don’t lose patience.”Hitting out at Madani, the BJP accused him of attempting to “vitiate” communal harmony. “He is a completely political person. I heard his speech. He was describing ‘jihad’ in an Islamic context… but he contradicted himself and said, ‘agar hum pe zulm hoga, toh jihad hoga’ (there will be jihad if we are oppressed). Who is he threatening — the Government of India?” Delhi BJP spokesperson Yaser Jilani told news agency ANI. Jilani warned Madani against issuing what he called “threats.” “Don’t threaten like this. The Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi think for everyone. Mahmood Madani is trying to vitiate harmony,” he stated.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Maulana Mahmood Madani NEW DELHI: Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind chief Mahmood Madani on Saturday urged the Muslim community not to be a “murda qaum” (lifeless community) but to remain “zinda” (active) and confront challenges head-on.Speaking at a public rally in Bhopal, Madani said, “We are facing challenges and difficulties… a ‘murda qaum’ surrenders when confronted with hardships. If you are weak, they will ask you to recite Vande Mataram, and you will oblige. But this is the mark of a ‘murda qaum.’” He added, “To be a ‘zinda qaum,’ you must be courageous and face the situation. Remember, it is always a ‘zinda qaum’ that is challenged. They will keep testing you – don’t lose patience.”Hitting out at Madani, the BJP accused him of attempting to “vitiate” communal harmony. “He is a completely political person. I heard his speech. He was describing ‘jihad’ in an Islamic context… but he contradicted himself and said, ‘agar hum pe zulm hoga, toh jihad hoga’ (there will be jihad if we are oppressed). Who is he threatening — the Government of India?” Delhi BJP spokesperson Yaser Jilani told news agency ANI. Jilani warned Madani against issuing what he called “threats.” “Don’t threaten like this. The Government of India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi think for everyone. Mahmood Madani is trying to vitiate harmony,” he stated.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
