The advent of English language along with the Western Education System through the colonists has made a colossal change in the thought process of the natives in Tamil Nadu. Though the Colonists have left the nation, the colonial mindset of condescending English and disdaining indigenous culture has not left India even today. The colonial causes include incorporating exotic elements in the educational syllabus followed by the native students and distancing them from the indigenous knowledge which is essential for any native. The English language has muddled the indigenous languages in India to an extent that, the Indians are feeling comfortable in using the English language than their mother tongue. The native people of Tamil Nadu cannot differentiate English and unmixed Tamil. If the same condition persists, every colonized nation will become a country without a consciousness of its past. The objective of this research paper is to delineate how English language has subjugated the age-old Tamil language and its culture in the place of its origin.
