Velu Nachiyar
1 quotes
“While bravehearts like Velu Nachiyar or the Marudhu brothers may have been eclipsed in our historiography, their heroism lives on in ballads, folk songs and folk memory, even as they are immortalized and worshipped as gods in temples built for them by villagers. Where popular historiography failed them, folk memory redeemed this lapse and kept them alive till date.”
Velu Nachiyar (1730–1796) said by 1796 at the latest wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
