Chennai: December seems to be a fateful month for the
southern state Tamil Nadu as it witnessed another
major loss in the form of death of AIADMK supremo J
Jayalalithaa.
In the past, many iconic leaders of Tamil Nadu have
passed away in this last month of the year.
AIADMK founder and charismatic actor-turned
politician Marudur Gopalan Ramachandran (MGR) died
on December 24, 1987.
C Rajagopalachari, the last Governor General of India,
passed away on December 25, 1972.
Rationalist leader "Periyar" EV Ramasamy passed
away on December 24, 1972.
Not only this, the devastating 2004 Tsunami hit the
southern state on December 26.
The giant wave left a trail of destruction along the
coastal areas in the state, wiping out lives, lifetime
savings and properties, and leaving several hundred
children orphans.
About 6,100 people from Nagapattinam alone lost
their lives in the 2004 tsunami whereas at least 8,000
people altogether were killed in Tamil Nadu by the
Tsunami.
