Paramakudi Riots - What is the reality?


On September 11th, 2011 Immanual sekaran's Memorial Day at Paramakudi which is observed by Dalit people, police open fired without any warning and killed seven Dalit peoples and injured more than 30 Dalit peoples. 

Dalit rights activists are accusing the Tamil Nadu Government and police force for the killing of innocent Dalit people. The reason given by them is that this shooting is completely engineered by police and political leaders of Caste Hindu community.

Justice Sampath committee gave a clean chit to police and have accepted that the police firing was absolutely warranted to maintain peace and restore normalcy.


Let’s analyze the reality behind this issue carefully with the help of materialistic evidence instead of wrong accusations and false theories. 

Limitation of this article - Incidents prior to firing and after the riots are not analyzed deeply in this post since many other blogs, posts and websites have done that already. Only the Police firing incident is analyzed in depth based on materialistic evidence.

Many people have died in the clashes between Dalit and Rival community in the past. Dalits also have killed innocent people from the rival community. Both communities have to be blamed here.

Let’s unveil the incidents happened before the Police shooting -
  1. Palani Kumar a Dalit youth and his friends have written offensive remarks against rival community leader on a wall in Pacheri village which provoked the rival groups to attack this youth. He died on the way to hospital. This incident happened just two days before Immanual sekaran's Memorial Day.
  2. The second incident is the controversial banners erected by the Dalits. The rival group reported this and asked for the removal of such controversial banners.
  3. The third was TMMK leader John Pandian's arrest - The police have given a reason for this arrest stating that John Pandian's presence at the event could cause a law and order situation. He had plans of visiting Pacheri village where Palani Kumar was killed. Police wanted to play safe and have arrested him.
Above incidents clearly states the mistakes are done by both Dalits and rival community. 
  • Both issues 1 & 2 have been started by the Dalits only. 
  • Rival community took it too far by killing the Dalit youth. These criminals should be punished by the law.

It is clearly visible from the above facts that Police tried to avoid any violence or clash which could be sparked by this TMMK Dalit party Leader John Pandian who has plans to visit the Pacheri village.

Let’s go to the Police Firing Incident:

On hearing the arrest of John Pandian his supporters staged a “road-roko” in the five junction road in the town preventing followers of Puthiya Tamizhagam(another Dalit Political party) leader K. Krishnasamy from proceeding to Sekaran’s memorial. Police were negotiating with the TMMK agitators asking them to give up the road roko protest. while the negotiation was going on the rogue TMMK dalits started throwing stones and footwears at the police. The Negotiations failed leading to lathi charge by police to disperse the rogue mob.

After Lathi charge TMMK Dalit Rowdies didn't disperse and attacked the Police violently again by throwing stones and torched wood. The media and Dalit political parties have hided this part. Even if you see the videos posted in YouTube, all are edited. Exactly before and after the lathi charge the video frame will not be continuous, it is edited by removing the part where Dalit rowdies attack police.


The Dalit political parties place a serious accusation that Police massacred the so called innocent Dalit's by open firing without any warning. Truth is police has first tried to negotiate, after negotiation fails they lathi charged, but again the TMMK Dalit rowdies attack the police. To control the situation Police uses Tear Gas shells to Disperse the TMMK Dalit rowdies.

But the TMMK Dalit party rowdies started attacking the Vajra (police riot control) vehicle by using Iron Rods, Wooden sticks, stones etc. Police are still inside the vehicle. They have completely Damaged the vehicle and even set fire to the front part of vehicle. The Mob have also injured many police personnel including Deputy Inspector General of Police.

After all this atrocities by TMMK Dalit rowdies, for their self-defense the police had to fire on the Rowdies to bring the situation under control. I have been searching for videos to know what truly happened in the Paramakudi Police firing. But sadly all the videos in YouTube are edited clearly hiding the TMMK Rowdies atrocities on Police. 

Photos showing the TMMK Dalit goons and their violence - 





Below two videos I saw in YouTube and have uploaded here. These are also edited but shows some TMMK Dalit rowdies atrocities scenes which are completely removed in other videos.






Mistake on Police  -
The only mistake done by Police here which is also even mentioned in Justice Sampath report is the Handling of the situation by Police after the riots. Police have gone to victim village and have forced to perform the last rituals of the dead carried out immediately and have left the village only after the Last rituals are finished and the body is cremated/buried. The reason given by officials is that some Dalit political parties might use this opportunity of Last rituals to again create violence or clash.

The Conclusion -
Clearly the TMMK Dalit Rowdies have sparked the other poor Dalit people who simply came to Pay homage to their leader and made them to indulge in violence. After doing all these atrocities these Dalit Rowdies simply use the coat of "Dalits Suppression" to hide their ugly self, these people are an insult to Dalit community and to the true Dalit activists who are fighting for their people.

Like A Coin has two sides, the reality behind this incident claimed as "Dalit Massacre of Paramakudi" by Dalit Activists turns out to be "TMMK Dalit Rowdies atrocities" which ultimately ended in the Death of their own people - Seven Human life. The poor Dalit people are being brainwashed by these Rowdy Dalit parties which are encouraging them to indulge in such violence. Who is to be blamed? the injured Police who fired for self-defense and to bring the situation under control? or the Dalit political Parties goons who attacked the Police and responsible for the riot? I leave the answer to your fair judgement.
