Seprember 5 is V.O. Chithamparanar birthday. Indian government ignores it. If he was a Hindian there would be celebrations all over India and occupied territories.

VOC was the first South Asian to operate a merchant ship. Yet no port outside of TN is named after him. He spent years in jail fighting British rule.

I had a good opinion of him. But I read the following and he fell a couple of notches on my scale.

*****
Upon Chidambaram's release he was not permitted to return to his Tirunelveli district. With his law license stripped from him he moved to Chennai with his wife and two young sons. There he ran a provisions store and a kerosene store.

In 1920, Chidambaram withdrew from the Indian National Congress, citing ideological differences with Mahatma Gandhi. He focussed his efforts on establishing Labor Unions in Madras and writing.

After moving to Coimbatore Chidambaram worked as a bank manager. Dissatisfied with the income, he petitioned the court seeking permission to practise law again. Judge E.H. Wallace gave permission to restore Chidambaram's pleadership license; to show his gratitude Chidambaram named his last son Valacewaran.

Chidambaram moved to Kovilpatti and practised as a lawyer. He rejoined the Congress party in 1927 and presided over the third political conference held at Salem. He said that he wanted to join Congress again because he noticed a remarkable change in the policies of Congress and he was happy to note that the policies which he did not approve of were withdrawn one by one. However, after the Salem conference Chidambaram again severed his contact with Congress.

What is your point>

Many Tamil Nadu leaders left Congress in disgust.

V. Kalyanasundaram (Thiru Vee Ka)
EVR

Kamaraj stood aloof for a while because of Gandhi's autocratic attitude in internal Tamil Nadu Congress affairs. Yes, Congress wing was called Tamil Nadu Congress and not Madras Congress to wheel in Tamil leaders into Congress.

Today's Congress m BJP, AAP high command in New Delhi issuing orders to leaders in TN goes back to Gandhi,
