The village made headlines in 1968 when 44 Dalits were burnt alive by local feudal lords after being locked in a hut.[1] The incident is known as the Kilvenmani massacre. Every year the massacre is commemorated by left wing and Dalit groups as "Venmani Martyrs Day". A large memorial was erected by the Communist Party of India (Marxist).[2]
