Dheeran Chinnamalai - June 2009

Dheeran Chinnamalai (Tamil:தீரன் சின்னமலை) was a Kongu chieftain who rose up in revolt against the British East India Company in the Kongu Nadu, Southern India.He is held with high regard by the Gounder community who continue use him as a symbol of Independence for the community. Belonging to the same community I feel honored and proud sketching him.. In fact this portrait was the inspiration that told me "U can do" and took me to where i am now.
