The reason Tamilis official language in Singapore notHindi:

Tamil people is the third largest ethnicity in Singapore. People from Tamilwas the first settlers in the island of Singapore under the Chola empire ofTamil Nadu in 1025 AD. It was the victory by a legendary king Rajendra Chola conquering the Hindu empire of Sri Vijaya (Indonesia/Malaysia).

The naming of Singapore is derived from Sanskrit or Tamil language, in which Singa means lion and pore means city. This is the origin of why Singapore is called the Lion City. There are other similar naming of Singapore by theTamilemperors such as Singampunari near Madurai. Many places in South East Asia are named after from Sanskrit/Indian language words.

Singapore and India were colonized by the British in the 18th century. Singapore was utilized by the British as a main Asian port to strengthen its influence in India. It resulted a huge group of Indian traders and laborers flocking to Singapore, mainly from the south part of India. Tamil people was known to be sea travelers and they took this opportunity presented by the British. They quickly migrated to Singapore and made up one of the largest population in the Singapore culture, third only to the Chinese and Malay population.

While the Tamil is the most spoken Indian language by the large majority of the Indian population in Singapore, Hindi, on the other hand is the least spoken by the Indians in Singapore.

Therefore, the Tamil is declared as an official language of Singapore for Indians, instead of Hindi.
