Your first statement is true. I would not be so harsh on Ajay Pratap Singh.
Most probably, he is a young person studying history and perhaps some day he will rise above caste prejudices and be a true historian.
Tamil has been given all due respect. It is a state language and also is classified along with Sanskrit as a classical language.
But Tamils need to understand that only Hindi can be the common language of India without disrespect to other languages (and not be carried away by misleading political or religious stances).
Hindi (43.63%)
Bengali (8.30%)
Marathi (6.83%)
Telugu (6.70%)
Tamil (5.70%)
Gujarati (4.58%)

Further questions for you @Aupmanyav
In today's world, does India need a common language?
Shouldn't that language be English?
It is not the problem of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andra Pradesh etc. that they are better educated that their northern "relatives". Enforcing Hindi to be learnt by the children of these states should be a choice, not a requirement. Those that speak the Dravidian languages have put up with Sankritization and Brahmin influence for millenia, and it is my determination that there be no further imposition.
The only way for those in Delhi, Chandigarh, Patna, Ranchi, and so one to be brought down a peg or two is to establish the true historical value of Tamil and "Proto-Dravidian". For this, we need to allow exploration, and unfortunately, without a change in government in India, the voice for Dravidian consideration will be continuously be swept to the side to make way for Indo-European fiction, or worse, the truth labelled as a "low-caste" fallacy.
We don't even need to look past this forum to see the evidence of that.
