Tamils resisted Hindi imposition from 1960s under the Dravidian movement invented by E V Ramaswamy Naiker and piloted by Kama raj etc.
Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
though, I think Dravidian movement is a fake ethnicity based organization invented by Periyar, now it has influenced Tamils to group themselves up. Tamil militancy is also because of this Dravidian c1ap. LTTE for eg.
today, Tamils organize themselves as a group of people. even with central government depts like Railway, Tamilnadu ministers carved out railway zones explicitly covering Tamilnadu regions only. - just an example.
as of today, Hindi is spreading in every state in South India except Tamil nadu. in state like Kerala, Hindi is taught from early classes. but, now due to labours coming from north India(UP,bihar,Bengal,Assam etc( learning Hindi has become necessity. even in Tamilnadu, cities like Coimbatore I've seen Spoken Hindi classes are going on.
Yes, Hindi imposition has worked in South India and may be even in north eastern states. One reason is many finds Hindi easy to pick up(Arguably!).
