Chapter 10

Supreme Court, New Delhi

IRUTHALAIKOLLI

2 months & 5 days after Mitron’s release

A case was filed across Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai by respective State Governments in their city high courts, ultimately all of which ended up being taken up by Supreme Court of India.

Top news outlets advertised it as the case of the century. Hindi and Regional channels ticker scrolled continuously with a text “North vs South - Who will win the battle?”

Following hours and hours of debate by self-labeled experts, the day was closing in and Newspapers across the country carried a front-page news irrespective of their political affiliations.

“The most anticipated case since the Ayodya verdict. The outcome of this case will decide who will rule India for the next decade and the generation after it.”

Minutes of Judgment as it happened.

The following has been condensed into a readable version for anyone.

Amravati led the defense for the southern states while the opposition was led by Kishan Sen who was paid by the minute by the Union government.

“There was no ground for the Union government to take away the forests, seeds, and language from the hands of people who created it. It was all a ruse.”

“Indeed, it is the right time, my lord”, Kishan argued.

“By taking control of the forest, our client, the Union Government (UG) is providing more time for the states to take care of their finances, run the state efficiently.”

“If so, Why did UG create an amendment for one language education?” Amravati put forth her defense.

“The public knows it, my lord. The economy depends not just goods being transported but in communicating it. UG has stated in its gazette releases that if we train the next generation to converse in our language..”, he slipped a word. Regaining his composure, he continued, “Economy is more important. Everything is changing at a faster pace than we can cope up with. One language policy will help us get there.”

“In that case, my lord why don’t we choose a language from the south or east and make it that one language for India.”

“That’s not the point. Your honor”, Kishan retorted.

“Okay, if you do not want a language from the south, let’s opt for a neutral language -

Mandarin Chinese”. There was a laugh across the court hall.

The panel of judges had to order silence for the argument to continue..

“What we are trying to state is that UG is stripping away things that define states and their identity?”

After listening to their arguments and counters, The panel of judges said they were going to take their time to announce the final judgment.

After a while….

The judges walked in. The crowd stood in reverence. Amravati and her team were hoping for no-nonsense judgment. All five of them said they discussed the issue and since there were many things to consider. They opened a red file and started reading..

“Listening to the arguments, we have come to the conclusion as follows.

Number 1 – Language – A country like us cannot have a single language and we strongly condemn UG for trying to implement an idea like this.
