Now is the moment to study and emulate such greats. Forgotten heroes include Salem Chakravarti Vijayaraghavachariar. Sri Vijiaraghavachariar was nearly an institution. He was a prominent Indian freedom fighter and nationalist. His presidency led Congress to adopt non-violent non-cooperation as its credo. Sri Vijiaraghavachariar applied non-violence to international events. He had a warm spot for me." Gandhi's dedication to Salem Vijayaraghavachariar South India's pride and glory for sixty years was Vijiaraghavachariar. India owes much to his bravery and parliamentary skills. He was the greatest exponent and supporter of civil liberty among Indian politicians throughout his life, steeped in 19th-century political philosophy.

C Rajagopalachari2 (Rajaji), November 1950 Sri Sadagopachariar was a famous Sanskrit scholar from Ponvilainda Kalathur, a fertile village near Maduranthakam in Chengalpet district. Twelve children were born to him and Smt Kanakavalli. This couple's second son was Chakravarti Vijayaraghavachariar. Achariar was smart, energetic, and a great leader. He and his companions shook up the village by hunting mangoes and coconuts from the orchards. Achariar excelled in Vedhadhyayana and Patashala because he had a great memory as a child. By twelve, he had mastered his lessons and wanted to learn English. Sadagopachariar opposed his son studying English because he wanted him to be a better Tamil and Sanskrit scholar.
