Tamil Nadu CM Stalin said the naming of the Bills is an 'audacious attempt' by the BJP government to 'tamper with the essence of India's diversity through a sweeping overhaul' which 'reeks of linguistic imperialism'.

Not only that. There is often a tendency to introduce words which increase the extent of differentiation.

An example would be #India after partition. #Hindustani a language close to #Urdu was replaced by #Hindi which underwent gradually a process of #Sanskritisation in which words were introduced into it.
