bala,
if i remember what happened in south africa, post apartheid, the indian government, eagerly went in, and set up hindi classes in its missions in pretoria, joburg and durban.
i remember waililng why tamil classes were not introduced. i have south african friends here of tamil ancestry, who write tamil with the roman alphabet and an atrocious pronounciation of verses, just parrotting the words without understanding one little bit.
i am not sure if things have improved now...
the delhi government, always assumes and funds hindi language classes wherever indian immigrants have gone ie west indies, mauritius or elsewhere. the idiots forget that many of them ar tamils, and in order for these people to appreciate their heritage, it is tamil that needs to be taught. or atleast provided as an option.
