Tamil Culture Liberation Day Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Not for water, not for justice,
Not against high level corruptions,
Not against honour killings and rapes,
Not on drought-hit farmers suicides,
And not against organized looting
In education and medical

But for sporting Jallikattu,
The overpowering of bulls,
Which most of us don't witness,
And which none of us patronize,
We, the Tamils, more ancient
Than the stone and the sand of the earth,

Surged ahead all over the world
And staged a massive protest for a week.
We have thus captured the mouse
By uprooting the mountain.
Let 22nd January be the day
Of Tamil Culture Liberation.
