This coming August 27 will mark the 7-year anniversary of the death of the Hindu saint, Shanti Kali Maharaj (Shanti Tripura). I am not sure if everyone is aware of him, but I see no reason for anyone of us not to know him. Shanti Kali worked among the tribal community in Tripura, setting up ashrams, schools, and orphanages around the state. On the August 27th of 2000, he was inside one of his ashrams when he was shot and killed by ten guerillas belonging to the Christian militant organization, NLFT, for refusing to convert along with his followers.
I hope we can take a moment to remember his sacrifice on that day.
