Jambu Dweepa Proclamation: The Grand Vision Statement

“The lack of unity and friendship amongst you has led you to blame each other among yourselves. Therefore, everyone living in different poligars must come together like a warrior to throw the foreign yoke.” These are the extracts from a poster, known as Jambu Dweepa Prakadanam which shook the East India Company, alien rulers who surreptitiously entered as traders hiding the evil intentions of gaining political power in due course. The Proclamation Maruthu brothers took their struggle to a new height by releasing a proclamation known as Jambu Dweepa Prakadanam. Jambu Dweepa Proclamation clearly establishes the Maruthu brothers’ understanding of the then-prevailing situation, the causes of such misery and the roadmap for the action ahead to get out of the afflicting malady. After Effect Though various poligars had come together under local level alliances such as Tirunelvi/Dindigul/Ramnad leagues or Coimbatore Chief with Kannada rulers, those initiatives gained further fillip with the active support and particularly after Jambu Dweepa Proclamation.
