Bharat Ratna Kamaraj

I never believed that there lived a chief minister in

Tamilnadu who stayed in a rented house,didnot marry and hailed as one of the cleanest and honest politician all over the world.He spent his life for the people .He is one of the person responsible for the construction of parambikulam Aliyar project which is still considere as one of the milestone or greatest ever project of 20 th century in tamilnadu.

The picture shows Kamaraj opening a Dam.

Without Aliyar dam, coimbatore district could have been a backward district in terms of agriculture and prosperity

I am sure that i would be narrating Kamaraj's greatness to my future generations till my death

The Movie "Kamaraj" which was made in tamil is agreat movie .Excellent acting by Richard Mathuram,Music by ilayaraja,excellent direction by A.Balakrishnan.He captured the life of kamaraj beautifully

He was awarded the india's highest civilian honour, the 'Bharat Ratna' after his death in 1976

I salute you Mr.Kamaraj Sir
