Remembering and paying homage to the dead is a cultural event. It\u2019s the basic right of the Tamils. All the ethnic groups in the world have the right and pay respect to their departed. The political charters around the world ensure the rights of the people to carry on the birth and death rites which are long embodied in their culture. The UN defines this as a natural right that has to be protected. Based on this an event is conducted every year, for the past 7 years in the shores of the Tamil Ocean, Marina beach to remember the massacred Eelam Tamils.<\/p>\n

This event is held to pay respect to the Eelam Tamils. Tamils have a culture of paying respect to their dead relatives near a water body. Aadhichanalloor, a 6000 year old archeological site that was discovered on the banks of river Thamirabarani was a burial site. The Tamilnadu police have the responsibility to protect this culture of the Tamils. The international charters and the Indian constitution embody this right as a basic human right. Nothing can deny this right to the Tamils. The government is denying the cultural rights of the Tamils citing a colonial era Section 41 Madras city police act, which was brought by the British to prevent any gathering.<\/p>\n
