Resumo de The King Maker-marriage Of Friend - THE LIFE HISTORY OF KAMARAJ

MARRIAGE OF FRIEND

In 1930 K.S.Muthusami , a friend of Kamaraj had been to
Kaitharu on the requisition of his uncle and happened to
marry his daughter under unavoidable circumstances for which
he invited Kamaraj. Kamaraj too went to the marriage Police
shadowed him. It was usual on those days a police tail was
kept behind him wherever he goes.

In March 1930 Gandhiji started Civil Disobedience Movement
to break Salt Laws. People marched to Dandi under the
leadership of Gandhiji in North and Vedharanyam in South
under the leadership of Rajaji. The whole country joined
together and shouted to abolish tax on salt. Government took
stringer action. News papers censored . Leaders were
arrested . Power of Gandhiji was known to the world. Public
were lathi charged. Western countries hated the arrogant
behavior of British government . Even the British people
condemned the act of the Government.

Kamaraj took part in Salt Sathyagraha. He was arrested by
the police. He was imprisoned for 2 years. It was his first
arrest. He was kept in Alipuram jail. The prisoners at
Alipuram jail were release 1 hour a day. There was a tree in
with a hole in that garden. Kamaraj wrote a slip for his
needs and kept in the hole. Kumbakkonam Goplakrishnan used
to go there take out the paper and acted according to the
instructions . It went on for several months.
The jail authorities were in surprise they did not know how
Kamaraj could able to get his needs. But they came to know
about the hole in that tree and tried trap Gopalakrishnan .
But Gopalakrishnan escaped from there and came back to
Kumbakkonam , where he was arrested for the first time. On
hearing the arrest of Kamaraj his Grand mother took ill. She
was bedridden. Volunteers of Virudhunagar Congress were
thirsty for his release. Duraisamy Nadar other went to
Alipuram jail informing about the health condition of his
grandmother and asked him to come on parole. But he refused.
He was released in 1931 under Gandhji - Irwin pact. He came
to Virudhunagar . Public took him in a procession from
railway station to his house which a mile away. Such a huge

procession was never seen at Virudhunagar there before. He
was asked to address a few words to the public. He accepted
. In his address he thanked the public for the felicitation
and asked them to pray god that he should not get proud. It
was his first speech.

His first stage speech was at Elinga Naaiackan patti which
was 5 miles away from Virudhunagar.

HABIT OF HAVING FOLDED TOWEL ON SHOULDER

Health condition of Parvathy Ammal became worse. The desire
to see the grandson had made her to hold her life. Few days
after the release of Kamaraj his grand mother expired.

Kamaraj performed the cremation . There was a change in him
after that. A week after the death of his grand mother he
used to have a folded towel on his shoulder.
WORK IN CONGRESS

Tug of War WITH RAJAJI

Kamaraj was called as a King Maker by foreigners 35 years
ago.

Since as he was having the capacity of doing anything in the
party he had this title. He did this achievement in 1931
itself. Congress committee conference was held at Madurai in
1931 . There were two parties in Congress then. One was
headed by Sathyamoorthy and the other by Rajaji. Poor were
on the side of Sathyamoorthy. Hence others neglected this
group. Kamaraj got wild of this. He supported Sathyamoorthy.
As Sathyamoorthy was the leader of the Conference he was
taken in a procession in which the group of Rajaji did not
participated . After the meeting the election for Tamilnadu
Congress Party presidentship was conducted.

Dr.Varadarajulu Naidu, Thiru. V.Kaliyana Sundara Mudaliar ,
E.V.R.Periyar and Srinivasa Iyengar left Congress. At the
end of the conference there was a proposal to elect Rajaji
as president of P.C.C. and Sathya moorthy as Vice
president. Accordingly Raajaji was elected as President. But
in the case of Vice-President Sathyamoorthy was elected as
Vice President only after some tussle as Rajaji's group
betrayed the proposal. Sathyamoorthy's group captured the
working committee. The working committee was completely
taken over by the group of Sathyamoorthy and Rajaji had to
act only as a President without any power in that year since
Sathyamoorthy's group had the full control of working
committee. This had happened only because of the sincere and
severe work of Kamaraj. This task was not a big affair to
Kamaraj who was able to control a wild elephant at his
boyhood. The working committee had the power to decide the
fate of the party.
