DMK are experts in False narratives and propaganda. DMK had nothing to do with the anti-Hindi agitation and as usual hijacked it when it became prevalent. @MaridhasAnswers clearly explains.
The movie #Parashakthi is a 100% propaganda movie released at the right time to incite anti-Hindi emotions amongst youth that will serve DMK's election chances. These people with no concept of History are learning history from these movies funded by DMK. They are being made to dance like a puppet on a string, that too with heightened emotions.
Incidentally, Ambedkar has a book Thoughts on Linguistic States (1955). It was written in response to the States Reorganisation Commission report, strongly advocates for linguistic reorganization of states while emphasizing safeguards for national unity. In this context, he addresses language policy, particularly the role of Hindi as a unifying element.
Ambedkar has said that linguistic states, if not handled carefully, could fragment India due to regional languages becoming official in states.
To counter this, he even proposed that regional / mother-tongue languages should not be the official languages of states.
Instead, he recommends Hindi (with English as a transitional option) as the official language across all states to foster a common national identity and prevent division.
Verbatim quotes from the book (primarily from Part II, Chapter III
"One language can unite people. Two languages are sure to divide people. This is an inexorable law. Culture is conserved by language. Since Indians wish to unite and develop a common culture it is the bounden duty of all Indians to own up Hindi as their language."
"Any Indian who does not accept this proposal as part and parcel of a linguistic State has no right to be an Indian. He may be a hundred per cent Maharashtrian, a hundred per cent Tamil or a hundred per cent Gujarathi, but he cannot be an Indian in the real sense of the word except in a geographical sense. If my suggestion is not accepted India will then cease to be India. It will be a collection of different nationalities engaged in rivalries and wars against one another."
"The only way I can think of meeting the danger is to provide in the Constitution that the regional language shall not be the official language of the State. The official language of the State shall be Hindi and until India becomes fit for this purpose English."
He warns against advocates of linguistic states who aim to make regional languages official: "For I find that those who are advocating linguistic States have at heart the ideal of making the regional language their official language. This will be a death knell to the idea of a United India."
He stresses that "One State, one language" is a universal principle for stable states, but India needs a common link language like Hindi to avoid the fate of multi-lingual empires like old Austria or Turkey.
These views of Ambedkar represent a shift or evolution from his earlier Constituent Assembly positions (where he was cautious about Hindi imposition), reflecting his "cold-blooded reasoning" based on post-independence realities.
He prioritizes responsibility over consistency, as noted in the preface: "More important than consistency is responsibility."
Now what will the current crop of Ambedkarite Tamils have to say to this?
