Tiruppur Kumaran, born on 04 October 1904, and tragically passing away on 11 January 1932, was a prominent freedom fighter during India's struggle for independence. He hailed from Tiruppur, a town in the Tamil Nadu state of India. Kumaran is celebrated for his unwavering dedication to the cause of freedom and his selfless sacrifice.
Kumaran actively participated in the Non-Cooperation Movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1920s. He played a significant role in boycotting foreign-made clothes and promoting the use of Khadi, a symbol of India's self-sufficiency and self-reliance. Kumaran's commitment to the cause was so profound that he eventually came to be known as "Kodi Kaththa Kumaran," which translates to "Kumaran who held the flag."
Tragically, Kumaran lost his life during a protest against the British colonial authorities in 1932. He was severely injured during a lathi charge and succumbed to his injuries, becoming a martyr for the Indian independence movement.
Tiruppur Kumaran's sacrifice and dedication to the nation's freedom struggle continue to inspire generations of Indians, and his legacy is commemorated through various memorials and events in his hometown and across the country.
