Maveerar Naal 2009 – Velupillai Pirabakaran – 27 November 2009
Today, 27 November 2009, marks the first Maaveerar Naal without the physical presence of Velupillai Pirabakaran, who was assassinated in Sri Lanka by the Sri Lankan Army. 27 November 2009 also serves to mark the broadening and deepening struggle of the Tamil people for freedom. Self immolation in February and March 2009 of Muthukumar, Ravichandran, Thamil Venthan, and Sivaprakasam not from Tamil Eelam but from Tamil Nadu, on the whole. And it is this Tamil nation of more than 80 million Tamil people which will bow its head on this Maveerar Naal in the year 2009. They, the Tamil people will bow their heads in memory of those Tamils who gave their lives, so that their brothers and sisters, wherever they may live - may live with dignity and with freedom.
