🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
July 23, 1999 —
500+ Dalit tea estate workers gathered peacefully at the Tirunelveli Collectorate.
They weren’t rioting.
They weren’t armed.
They just wanted a basic wage hike and dignity.
DMK was in power. And they unleashed hell.
DMK’s police didn’t talk.
They lathi-charged unarmed workers.
Chased women and children into the Thamirabarani river.
17 Dalits drowned — not in flood, but in fear.
This wasn’t an accident.
This was state-sponsored terror.
Not one minister resigned.
Not one officer punished.
Not even a shred of remorse from Karunanidhi’s DMK.
Instead, they buried it.
Like they buried the 17 Dalit bodies.
Deep under their fake DMK pride.
They say DMK stands for social justice.
But in Manjolai, they showed what they truly are:
A party that watches Dalits die for asking minimum wage —
Then preaches equality from air conditioned stages.
Today, DMK weeps crocodile tears for Dalits.
But in 1999, when their blood turned Thamirabarani red, DMK turned its back.
Because when it’s Dalits vs corporate cash, DMK picks the paycheck — not the people.
#ManjolaiMassacre isn’t history.
It’s a warning.
When DMK is in power:
•Police brutality thrives
•Dalit voices are crushed
•Justice is delayed, MManjolai
and deleted from memory
23rd July should be a black day in Tamil Nadu’s history.
But DMK won’t let you remember.
Because if you do — their mask of social justice slips.
Share this.
Don’t let Manjolai fade into silence.
