A Short Biography of A Famous Indian- "Perarignar Anna"/C.N.Annadurai

$

C.N.Annaduari,popularly known as “Perarignar Anna” meaning Great Wise-Elder Brother became the first "Non-Congress"/Dravidian Party Chief Minister of Tamilnadu after 20 years of Independence of India until  when the Indian National Congress had been the ruling party in the State of Madras/Tamilnadu.



Annaduari hailed from a middle class family  and he was a very good orator and writer in Tamil. After completing his post-graduation in Economics and Politics, Annadurai started his career as a School Teacher.

After some years he left the teaching profession and took stage-dramas as his full time profession. And he started writing drama-scripts and acted in them and out of about 60 of his stage plays, many of  them were later converted into successful Tamil Cinema Movies.



Annadurai was born as a Hindu family and their family deity was Lord Murga. Afterwards, Annadurai joined the "Dravidar Kazhagam" / D.K. of Thanthai Periyar E.V.Ramasamy and became an atheist.



Annadurai had difference of opinions with EVR-Periyar in policy matters of the party and in the personal life activities of his leader. So, Annaduari came out of the D.K. party and started his own  party- 2Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam" / D.M.K.

Thereafter Annaduarai  switched over from atheism and declared his attitude regarding the religions and faith in  God as :"Ondre Kulam-Oruvane Devan"/ “One Community- One God”. According to Annaduraiall the communites are equal and one and all religions and gods are all one.

He never worshiped any god or goddess and also he was not against the  religious sentiments of other people. However, he maintained his ideas against the traditional  and superstitious beliefs and rituals.


Further, Annadurai changed from his earlier concept conceived from his mother-party- D.K. regarding  Independent Tamilnadu / Dravida Nadu  to "Joint Rule in the Centre and Independent Rule in States”.



M.G.Ramachandran, the famous Tamil actor known as "Makkal Thilagam -MGR" joined Annadurai’s D.M.K.

Being an actor himself, Annadurai believed that the cinema actors can and will become popular and become even the Chief Ministers of States.

Annadurai used the populartiy of  "MGR'' and Annadurai used to refer to "MGR" as the  "Fruit of his Heart".

And MGR's involvement in DMK had been instrumental in D.M.K. receiving people’s  full support and snatching the power from the then ruling party- Indian National Congress in the General Elections of the year 1967.

As the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, Annadurai:
  • Legalized Self-respect marriages,
  • Inforced a two language policy, instead of the three languages- formula in other southern states, 
  • In the Election Propaganda/promises of DMK in the 1967 General Elections, Annaduari had promised to supply 3 measures of rice per one rupee, which he could not do due to obvious reasons. However Annaduarai implemented subsidized rice supply at low cost, through Public Distribution System/Ration and
  • Renamed "Madras State" to "Tamil Nadu".


Unfortunately, Annadurai died  in the year 1969, within just two years in office as the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu and his Funeral Procession was attended by  a large  number of  people, which had become a “Guinness World Record” of that time.



M. G. Ramachandran was dismissed from the D.M.K. party  in 1972, due to difference of opinions with the D.M.K. Chief M.Karunanidhi and MGR started a new party named after Annadurai-“Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam”/ADMK. 

MGR as the Chief of the party ADMK, becamethe Chief Ministerof Tamilnadu in the year 1977 and remained as the CM of Tamilnadu till the year 1987 till his death.


It is  notable that D.M.K and AAIDMK alternatively  become the ruling party in Tamilnadu,keeping the Indian  National Congress in the opposition from the year 1967, when Annaduarai formed his majority government defeating the Congress.

  • By getting into controversy his movies get advance and a vast publicity and the audience and the public would be eager to see the movies in a created anxiety and interest. (this may be the version of his critics)

G. D. Naidu was a self-made- Indian- Inventor and Engineer belonging to Coimbatore.



Inspite of not having any qualification and with only an incomplete primary school studies, G.D.Naidu  had innovative ideas in scientific applications and invented many  electrical and other equipments and he was  called “Edison of India”.

G.D.Naidu contributed his innovative inventions and usages in the following fields:
  • industrial
  • electrical,

  • agricultural (Hybrid cultivation) and
  • automobile engineering
The following are some of G.D.Naidu's inventions:

In his village near Coimbatore, a British man had been driving a motor cycle and  making repairs to the vehilcle  G.D.Naidu was keenly observing.

When other people of his village only watched  in surprise the motor cycle and the driving of the vehicle by the foreigner, G.D.Naidu wished to drive the motor cycle himself and  wanted to learn the mechanism of the vehicle.

So G.D.Naidu  planed to buy the motor cycle from the foreigner and  he went to a hotel in Coimbatore as a server and earned some money and  saved about Rs 500/-.

G.D.Naidu met the  British man with the motor cycle and gave Rs 400/- from his savings  and offered to buy the motor cycle from him..

Surprised by  the enthusiasm and intension  of G.D.Naidu to buy the vehicle,  the British man sold the motor cycle to G.D.Naidu.



As G.D.Naidu had been watching the British man doing some repairs to the motor cycle he dismantled and re-assembled the motor cycle and he learned the mechanisms of  the motor cycle and became a motor cycle mechanic without going to any training school.


In the year 1920, when public/private buses and other vehicles  were not available  people of his village and the nearby towns used to travel  by bullock-carts or on foot.

 

G.D.Naidu purchased one mini-coach and  started a transport company -Universal Motor Services"/U.M.S. and his mini-coaches were used by  people for travelling between Palani and Pollachi,

G.D.Naidu is known for his innovative ideas and application of science in day to day life.
 
G.D.Naidu set up a rotating iron -grill-gate at the entrance of his house in such a way that whenever somebody opens the gate by turning  round the grill bars of the rotating gate, a bucket of water would be drawn from the well in the backyard of the house and stored in a cement tank, based on the "principle of conservation  of energy".



In the year 1937, G.D. Naidu  along with D.Balasundaram developed India's first indigenous motor.

Subsequently, G.D.Naidu’s partner Balasundaram founded the company- “Textool” and later on "Lakshmi Machine Works”/ (LMW).

As a photographer G.D.Naidu had captured  the images of the following popular Indians:
  • Mahatma Gandhi,
  • Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru and
  • Subash Chandra Bose and 
  • Sir.C.V.Raman etc.
    Biography of G.D.Naidu:

    Name:Gopalaswamy Doraiswamy Naidu

    Date of Birth: 23rd March 1893

    Date of Death: 4th January 1974 ( at the age of 80 years)

    Father: Gopalaswamy Naidu

    Education: Primary School

    Occupation:
    • Photographer,
    • Businessman and
    • Scientist/Inventor

    Quote on G.D.Naidu  by Sir C.V.Raman :

    "G.D.Naidu was a  great educator, an entrepreneur in many fields of engineering and industry,
    a warm-hearted man filled with love for his fellows and a desire to help them in their troubles and he is truly a man in a million - perhaps this is an understatement!"

    After the successful tripartite settlement with the Tamilnadu Muslims Organizations on the release of Vishwaroopam in Tamilnadu theatres, Kamal Hassan had edited/made the  agreed cuts in  the movie  and released the Tamil Vishwaroopam movie in Tamilnadu theatres on 7th February 2013.


      

    According to the Tamilnadu Muslim Organizations some 7 scenes/sequences were to be deleted based on their 15 points charter of demands as briefed below:
    • A disclaimer added at the beginning of the movie reading as: “ Some Incidents Based on Real Life” to be replaced as: “ All Incidents Imaginery”
    • Scenes showing the jihaddis doing namaz to be removed and only the hero (a muslim character) to be allowed to do namaz
    • Some references to  the Holy Quran to be removed
    • A reference to Tamil jihaddi to be removed
    • References to Madurai and Coimbatore to be removed



    After the release of  Vishwaroopam in Tamilnadu  Theatres, Kamal Haasan has informed his admirers, 
    -who might think that a large portion of the original movie Vishwaroopam could have been lost, 
    -due to the battle of freedom of speech and clarified that 
    -the version of the film that released in Tamil Nadu suffered only aural cuts and
    -nothing was lost except 
    -the sounds of Koran recital and 
    -a few dialogues by Omar Qureshi in thefilm and  
    -finally what the Tamil Vishwaroopam has lost was just some sound clips and
    -no visualswere touched and the visual part of Vishwaroopam is intact.




    Some of Kamal Hassan’s fans, who watched the shows on the first day at Tamilnau, after having watched it last week in other States, including theatres in Bangalore and in some partsof Kerala  said that  the Tamil version released in Tamilnadu Theatres did not vary much from the other versions of the movie and
    •  "an introductory credit card is missing" and
    •  "there is  a partial blackout of a banner in a particular scene".



    So, they are no "Video-Cuts" and only "Audio-Cuts made in the Tamil Vishwaroopam released in Tamilnadu Theatres.

      Banks In India Advised To Check Currency Notes Kept in their ATM's

      In India the circulation and detection of fake/counterfeit currency notes have been increasing year by year.



      According to the present rules/law in India as and when a fake currency note is received from a customer/public and  detected  to be a fake one:
      •  the holder of the fake/counterfeit currency note/s is responsible and
      •  the currency note/s is not returned to the holder of the note and 
      • a police complaint is made or
      • the note is destroyed on the spot and 
      • the holder has to lose the value of the note even if the holder is genuine and
      • the holder is unable to claim from the source of the note/s received by him/her.



      Nowadays, soiled/mutilated and even fake/counterfeit currency notes are found in the cash taken from the ATM’s of banks in various parts of India.

      Mostly, the Banks / Branches seize fake/counterfeit currency notes as and when tendered by their customers and public along with the cash remitted by them into their accounts or for exchange.

      The holder of fake currency notes have to lose the value and are held responsible for the same even if  such notes have been taken from the Banks' ATM’s.




      In view of the complaints received from the public, the Reserve Bank of India is planning to change the rules / law which make the holder of the fake currency note responsible.

      If the Bank Branches or Treasury Offices detect five or more fake notes in a single transaction, a police complaint/an FIR must be registered.

      The Reserve Bank of India, in co-ordination with the Central Government, has been pursuing with all State Governments to nominate a nodal police station in every district for the purpose of reporting cases of fake/counterfeit currency notes.
