This is important. By relocating to New Delhi, there is no way for the BBC to guarantee that Tamil speakers, especially the Tamil Diaspora will be adequately served.

Furthermore, the BBC also cannot guarantee that Tamil spoken by Eelam Tamils (I refuse to recognise Sri Lanka as it currently exists) will be preserved or promoted, especially since there are far more speakers in the UK than there are in New Delhi.

Finally, I view this proposed move as a way for the BBC to further dilute and restrict news relevant to the Tamil Diaspora, especially news coming out of Tamil Eelam, and inject Hindi into the dialogues, which has absolutely no place among Tamils where they are found.
