Kumaraswami Kamaraj, commonly referred to as Kamarajar, is a significant figure in Indian history. Known for his role as a prominent Indian independence activist and politician, Kamarajar served as the Chief Minister of Madras State from 13 April 1954 to 2 October 1963. He is also recognized as the founder and president of the Indian National Congress (Organisation) and is famously dubbed the “Kingmaker” in Indian politics, especially during the 1960s.

Kamarajar served as a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha during two terms, from 1952 to 1954 and again from 1969 to 1975. Known for his simplicity and integrity, he was instrumental in developing the infrastructure of Madras state and tirelessly worked to improve the quality of life for the needy and disadvantaged.  இவரது தந்தையின் பெயர் குமாரசாமி நாடார் மற்றும் இவரது தாயாரின் பெயர் சிவகாமி அம்மையார் ஆகும். காமராஜரின் சிறு வயதிலேயே அவரது தந்தை காலமாகிவிட்டார். இதனால் காமராஜர் அவரது தாய்மாமா கருப்பையா நாடாரின் பராமரிப்பிலேயே வளர்ந்தார்.

Kamarajar’s Early Life and Struggles

Kamarajar discontinued his school education after the sixth grade due to family circumstances. Later, he worked in a cloth shop run by his uncle Karuppaiya Nadar. During this time, he developed a habit of reading newspapers, which sparked his interest in the freedom struggle and politics at a young age. He made it a point to attend every freedom movement meeting nearby. Influential Congress leaders like P. Varadarajulu Naidu, Thiru. V. Kalyanasundaranar, and Satyamurthy inspired him further with their speeches, pulling Kamarajar deeper into the freedom movement.

Kamarajar’s Involvement in the Freedom Movement

Kamarajar’s family did not support his involvement in the freedom struggle, leading them to send him to Thiruvananthapuram. There, he worked at another uncle’s vegetable shop. Despite this, Kamarajar continued his engagement in freedom movements. He participated in the Vaikom Satyagraha, which supported the oppressed people in Kerala, and even witnessed the presence of Mahatma Gandhi, who played a key role in making the protest successful. It is noteworthy that Kamarajar was active in this significant protest.

Political Life and Commitment

Understanding that his family was living in poverty, Kamarajar returned to Virudhunagar from Thiruvananthapuram. His family urged him to get married, but Kamarajar firmly refused. He expressed that he would not marry until India gained independence, dedicating himself entirely to the freedom struggle. Remarkably, even after India attained independence, he chose not to marry.
