A Leader’s vision & actions results in building a community. Kamaraj is an
Iconic example of building a community of educated masses, strong officers who
can function to their fullest potential and above all a state which has been
called as the Reservoir of Knowledge* by Narayana Murthy- Founder of Infosys.
Here is a story of how he was bent upon building a community:
Presiding the First Amendment
The “Communal G.O”
which was in force for long, with which reservations for backward caste was
safe guarded, was annulled by verdicts from Madras high court and the Supreme
court of India. Kamaraj, understanding the public sentiments against this
verdict and insisted Prime Minister Nehru for the first amendment to the
constitution.
Within few months
after the constitution was in force in 1951, he upheld the rights for backward
caste and their reservations regarding their education and job opportunities.
This is the reason he was hailed by Tamil Nadu for “Presiding the first
amendment”
From the above
incidents it is clear that Kamaraj has lived the tenth characteristics of a
