Student organisations in the northeastern states have criticised the federal government's decision to make hindi mandatory in schools. Union home minister amit shah declared last friday that hindi will be made compulsory in schools in the north-eastern states up to Class 10 and that 22,000 instructors would be hired to teach Hindi. Protests have been held by student groups in the northeastern states. Samuel P. Jirwa, the organization's president, stated on the occasion,
"The dumping of hindi is something we detest. For those who desire it, hindi should be the language of choice. No one should be compelled to learn Hindi. We'll speak with all of the Northern State's governments." The State of Mizoram's Young Mizo Organization has resolved to pass a resolution against this decision.
The decision, according to the assam Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti, is in violation of the Constitution, democracy, and federalism. Since 2016, the bjp government has been working against the people of Assam. A few state parties in the Northeast have also spoken out against the decision. Already amit shah also data-faces heat from Southern states after his open talk regarding making hindi and not english as the secondary language.
