Marshal. A. Nesamony's  Restless Life Came to a Rest:   As a relentless fighter Marshal. A. Nesamony fought many social and political battles and won many battles and lost some battles but he won his war. During his life time he was privileged to see  the merger of Kanyakumari District with the then Madras State [Tamil Nadu] in 1956. But because of his christian background and some other political reasons like political jealousy, he was  not rewarded with deserving ministerial berth either in the Tamilnadu Government or in the Indian Government. .Due to tireless and restless work, age and also due to some family  related worries  he became very tired and exhausted and as a corollary Marshal.A. Nesamony died on the 1st June 1968 , while he was sitting Lok Sabha member.

He is today called as Kumari Thanthai or the Father of Kanyakumari District. The Central Government in 1995, published  commemorative Postal Envelopes in recognition of the Centenary of Marshal Nesamony's  birth[ born in 1895]. Marshal. A Nesamony was so closely  and emotionally connected with the people and land of Kanyakumari district. Marshal Nesamony liberated  his  people  from the clutches  and dominance of the dominant caste of people of erstwhile Travancore kingdom.   Even though there are so many memorials  in  Kanyakumri  District , the existence of Kanyakumari  District as a part of Tamil Nadu is the best memorial for Marshal. A. Nesamony   Really he was a towering personality and man of great vision and mission.
