Senkodi

Senkodi was a Tamil girl who was an active volunteer of Makkal Mandram from the village Orikkai, which is near Kanchipuram. She was the eldest of her family where she was a bonded labourer until her interaction with the group.[1]

Senkodi immolated herself in front of the Tahsil office at Kancheepuram at 5.45 p.m, 28-08-2011. She demanded that the death penalty of the three individuals convicted in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case be reduced.[2]

She wrote in her final letter "I am ending my life in a belief that my death would save the lives of Perarivalan, Murugan and Santhan."
