The news given below speaks for itself about the standard of Tamil of Tamilians of Tamil Nadu who boast so much of themselves and about Tamil. I find that in social media the standard of Tamil is so miserably poor, there is a need to save Tamil from these Tamils. Be it pictures or serials or news broadcast, Tamil is miserably dissected, spelt or pronounced. the same is reflected in the news below where many from Tamil Nadu performed poorly in Tamil while those from the North gave a better performance.
Even simple words are not spelt correctly. This is happening in a state which swears by the richness and greatness of Tamil, propagating Tamil for all purposes claiming that Tamil is their life's breath.
The Tamil Nadu postal service exam may have been tough, according to several examinees, but apparently many of the high-scoring candidates are not even from the state. In the exam, which had a 25-mark section to check proficiency in Tamil, around 25 people, who have scored more than 70 out of 100, hailed from Maharashtra and Haryana. The exam to fill around 300 vacancies in the post of postman and mail guards in Tamil Nadu was conducted by the Tamil Nadu postal circle in November last year. Several candidates from the state, who failed to secure a job, now allege that something is amiss.
The exam, although it had a section to check Tamil language skills, was open to candidates across India. Applications were invited for 44 divisions, which include Chennai City Central, Chennai City North, Chennai City south, Chennai GPO, Tambaram, etc. More than 1 lakh candidates wrote the exam. The qualification required was Class X pass and minimum age of 18. The exams were in a multiple choice questions (MCQ) format.
