Let's start with the basics.....
Till date there are totally 29 States and 7 Union Territories and each of them has their own native Language or Mother tongue.
If you go through the below list then you can understand that Hindi is not a Mother Tongue or Native Language of any of the States or Union Territory but just a common language.
When you learn Hindi you can converse across India without any problem. I don't understand why TN feels that somebody is thrusting their own language on them.
Hope a day will come when TN will be open to Hindi :-)
