The International Nadars Day is celebrated annually on 15 of July that is the Kamarajar Jayanthi day. How this transformation passed on to our society.

It rarely happens in history. And none would admit openly the positive spin-offs of caste for fear of being on the wrong side of political correctness. Kamarajar’s own castefolk were in the social dumps in 19th century. The Nadar community’s remarkable rise to economic glory of the present is a success story directly attributable to its caste cohesiveness, that cut across even religious faiths. Many cases of caste spawning economic growth and thereby social status can be listed. Kamarajar who built his own political clout in Congress initially with out his own family and community support. The community to which he belonged was in support of British Raj officials in the late decades of nineteenth century and in the 1920s & 1930s was leaning towards Self Respect Movement and Justice Party initially. The community in south Tamilnadu enmass supported Congress movement after 1939 when the Temple Entry Act was enacted to favour entry of the lower communities in Madurai and Thiruchendur temples and specifically only after realizing the appeal of Mahatma Gandhiji and selfless charisma of Kamarajar.

But it is very late realization and Tamilnadu will never recover from the loss of services of the Unselfish leader of this stature who left a net asset of Rs. 142 & 4 set of Khadhar dresses during his death. In less than 4 decades, the people of Tamilnadu witness the current affluential political parties are able to deliver to each voter of the State a fund for personal wealth which amouts to more than 10 times the net worth of Kamarajar.

Very few people campaigned in general elections for 2009 highlighting the simplicity and greateness of Kamarajar's services In the future election there will be hadrdly any one to remind the virtues such as simplicity, humbleness and other facts about Kamarajar to the common public country of Tamilnadu.

In the beginning of the 20th century, the vast majority of the Nadar community were suppoters of Self Respect Movement, parties supproting the downtrodden and suppressed Nadar community under the leadership ofWPA. Soundarapandian : the first President of Thandai Periyars `Suya Mariyadai Iyakkam. It's not without reason that the self-respect movement of the Justice Party and Dravidian parties succeeded in Tamil Nadu,and its various manifestations ruled the roost at the height of the socio-political churning of the society.

The nawab of Arcot giving away revenue collection rights to the British East India Company in the mid-eighteenth century meant that a region with no great kings or kingdoms came under the British rule. And along the way, jobs-on-merit at the hands of the alien ruler meant equal opportunity for equal talents in a race for the survival of the fittest.

If the need for societal spread made the non-brahmin movement adopt education and employment as its `equaliser-slogans, the attainment of this goal, first with the formation of the Justice Party and more so with that party coming to power in the 1919 elections, made the movement itself near-redundant. The Communal G O of 1921 and its later-day modifications, all formalising and legitimising the non- brahmin movement demands for reservations in education and employment, benefited only the non-brahmin upper castes initially.
