- The 1995 caste reprisals that scarred southern T.N. also touched Communist leader Nallakannu’s life
In 1995, a gang murdered A.K. Annasamy, an 84-year-old man and father-in-law of Communist leader Nallakannu, while he slept at his home in Marudanvalvu village, then part of Chidambaranar district (now Thoothukudi district). The incident is linked to caste reprisals in southern Tamil Nadu.
