DMK president M.K. Stalin paid rich tributes to the revered freedom fighter Maaveerar Pooli Thevar on the occasion of his birth anniversary, celebrating his pioneering role in southern India's resistance against British colonial oppression. Stalin emphasized that Pooli Thevar stands as a towering, mountain-like testament to the indomitable spirit of liberation and self-rule that defined the historical struggles of the Tamil soil long before mainstream national movements took root across the subcontinent.

Stalin highlighted that Pooli Thevar's extraordinary valor, strategic brilliance, and uncompromising defiance against foreign subjugation mobilized regional chieftains and common people into a unified anti-imperialist front. He observed that the Dravidian movement has consistently honored and preserved the glorious memories of regional freedom fighters whose heroic sacrifices were marginalized in colonial historiography. Pooli Thevar's fearless struggle for native dignity continues to inspire contemporary battles for democratic autonomy, self-respect, and federal rights across Tamil Nadu.

Calling upon youth to cherish and preserve the heritage of native resistance, Stalin pledged to protect the democratic values of the Indian republic. He affirmed that remembering Pooli Thevar strengthens the collective resolve to defend regional freedom against authoritarian forces.
