Thillaiyadi Valliammai, also known as Valliammai Subramaniam, was an Indian freedom fighter and activist during the early 20th century. She was born on 22 October 1898, in Thillaiyadi, a village in Tamil Nadu, India.
Valliammai was actively involved in the Indian independence movement, and she played a significant role during the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Civil Disobedience Movement against British colonial rule. She participated in protests, marches, and other activities advocating for India's freedom.
One of the notable events in which Valliammai was involved was the Vaikom Satyagraha in 1924-25, a movement aimed at securing the rights of untouchables to enter temples in the princely state of Travancore (present-day Kerala).
Valliammai was married to another prominent freedom fighter, M. P. Sivagnanam. Both Valliammai and her husband were associated with the Indian National Congress and worked alongside leaders like Mahatma Gandhi in their pursuit of India's independence.
Tragically, Valliammai's life was cut short at a young age. She passed away in February 22, 1925, reportedly due to complications from fasting during a protest. Her contributions to the Indian independence movement are remembered, and she is celebrated for her dedication and sacrifice in the struggle for a free and independent India.
