 In the elections that year, Congress was replaced by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government under C N Annadurai.The Tamil purism movement successfully lobbied for Tamil to be declared a "classical language" (vuyarthanichemai) of India in 2006, a status also accorded to Sanskrit in the Indian constitution.This gave rise to the Centre for the Study of Tamil as a Classical Language in Chennai, but it took another year to obtain official Tamil translations in Tamil Nadu courts.
