Dear Editor,
Thanks for publishing my previous letter (KN, Dec 31, 2012). One of the things I should have added in this letter is that during tyrannical periods of the past, our people were never publicly allowed to mourn their fallen heroes when, where, and how they would have liked.
The reasons for such suppression include a denial to honour the sacrifices made by our rebellious forbears against tyrannies and injustices of their time. Men and women who stood against tyranny were demonized by the overlords, but the memories were kept alive in the hearts of the survivors. They passed the knowledge of the courageous stances to their children and grandchildren and their communities. Their memories were and are kept alive in our communities.
It is beyond my comprehension that after more than a century and a half, we do not have the decency to put a memorial where the descendants of our people would like.
We must acknowledge the efforts of those who were killed to make our lives better. To do otherwise is simply wrong. Let us get this right.
