Karmaveerar Kamarajar
  • Can the elite in the group tell us more about Kamarajar...

    As we say, Ram Rajya, in TN, people say we will bring Kamarajar
    aatchi. but no one could bring that back.

    I think it was he who brought 'Uniform' to schools to eliminate
    children of rich family posing with costly clothes while the poor
    children dont have even a proper dress. mid day
    meals...uniform...bringing education to the masses. A real noble
    gestures. Also, I think he is the real king maker. Making Indira the
    PM, when he was offered the post. He refused it because he felt he is
    not that qualified and he doesnt know Hindi. Is this true?

    Please share the noble gestures of Kamarajar so that people like me
    can benefit.
  • SCHOOL UNIFORM system was introduced during Kamarajji days only.

    There was Khaki + white upto 5th Standard
    then Blue and white to my knowledge.upto 11 Std.in Government Schools.

    10 Std + 2 :: schemes are later designed.

    Earlier 11 std + PUC + Degree.

    Indira Gandhi respected Kamarjji very much.

    When he was defeated n the Virudhunagar constituency, even Anna felt
    bad ..

    Anna met Kamarajar and took his blessings before forming his
    Government in 1967.

  • - Dear Udanx,

    When we talk GOOD of someone, it is fine to publicise.

    When we do NOT DO SO, it is unwise to go public - since the
    informations we post is widely seen through out the web-world.

    Another thing is careful usage of diction: feminist - avoidable.

    Re Mrs.Indira Gandhi's respect, Kamarj was the one not touched during
    the EMERGENCY period - inspite of him opposed it.

    Kamaraj is known for Simplicity,
    providing education inspite (as) of him being
    under-educated.
    apart from education, he gave food to school
    going children - a pioneer scheme in our Nation

    Let us keep this discussion also simple and motivating - befitting
    Him.

  • SPS,

    Completly agree with you.

    But if that is the case "*Indira Gandhi had high regards for Kamaraj*"was
    also not necessary in that place when there are so many things to his
    credit.

    1. Why only Indira Gandhi The first Prime Minister of India Pandit Nehru
    also had high regards for Mr.Kamaraj.
    2. Mr.Kamaraj was instrumental in electing Lal Bahadur Shastriji as PM
    when Pandit Nehru died.
    3. Mr.Kamaraj had the guts to say that people above 50 should resign from
    from ministry and look into Party work to strengthen the party. He resigned
    his CM post for that - Kamaraj Plan.
    4. Rural electrification in Tamil Nadu - Thanks to Mr.Kamaraj
    5. BHEL in Trichy, credit should go to R.Venkatraman but when the
    committee was looking for suitable land they couldnt find one. Mr.Kamaraj
    suggested them to have a look at Tiruvarembur and beyond

  • Why Kamaraj and Rajaji were at loggerheads? Personality clash or policy
    differences?

    Sampath
  • at one point most of tamilnadu congress was against rajaji
    kalki ably supported him in the press

    both kannadasan and cn annadurai in seperate tributes to kalki on the
    day he died mentioned this " misplaced" loyalty
  • Sollin Selvare ... Cant play with usage / Choice of words and that too with
    you I dont even stand a chance.

    Take a bow!
