30 AUGUST – UUKMA VICTORY DAY 🇬🇧🇮🇳
Today, 30 August, we proudly commemorate UUKMA Victory Day; a significant milestone in the history of our organisation.
In 2019, UUKMA faced one of the most challenging periods in its journey, arising from legal proceedings connected with the National Elections. On 30 August 2019, following a hearing at the High Court in Leeds, the decision came in favour of the then serving committee.
Recognising the importance of this moment in UUKMA’s history, the National Executive decided to observe 30 August as UUKMA Victory Day, a decision subsequently approved by the National General Body.
Victory Day is not simply about remembering the outcome of a legal challenge. It represents something much greater, the strength of democratic institutions, organisational discipline, unity, and the determination to protect and strengthen UUKMA for future generations.
On this anniversary, we once again express our sincere gratitude to all UUKMA member associations, community leaders, volunteers, well wishers and members of the wider UK Malayalee community who placed their trust in us and stood with the organisation throughout that difficult period.
Your confidence and support gave us the strength to move forward, overcome challenges and work with even greater commitment towards building a stronger, more united and more vibrant UUKMA.
Seven years later, the greatest way to honour that victory is not simply to remember it, but to continue working together preserving our cultural heritage, strengthening our community and creating greater opportunities for the generations that follow.
Thank you once again to everyone who trusted us, supported us and walked with us throughout the journey.
Together we stood. Together we grew. Together we continue.
Happy UUKMA Victory Day – 30 August
