TAMILNADU KAMMA HISTORY AND POLITICIANS
Tamilnadu Kamma History :: The Telugu language is the mother tongue for the 35%+ of the population of Tamilnadu. There are more than 20 Telugu castes living in almost all the Districts of Tamilnadu. Among them Kamma have more population (40 lakhs) whose concentration is in three regions of Tamilnadu. (The Northern region, West and Southern regions). These people are talking Telugu in their home but are not able to read and write except the people of border area of Andhra, but they have been following traditional customs and cultural activities. The Kamma's had their migration from the earliest period but more people have migrated during the Vijayanagar rule. Today the Kamma people are known as 'Kammavar naidu' in some areas and Nayakkars in some other regions of Tamilnadu, since they were the warriors of Naick Chief in those days. 'Vadugu' in Tamil means Telugu language. All the Telugu speaking people in Tamilnadu are 'Vadugars' including Kammas.Kamma's social, economic and cultural life differs from zone to zone due to the ecological conditions. South Zone : The South zone consists of present day Madurai, Ramanathapuram and Tirunalvely Districts where the Kammavars are living mostly in villages. The black cotton soil and the dry climate were liked by Kammas who were specialist in Cotton and Chilly cultivation in Tamilnadu. Kammas living in villages where the Headman or 'Voor Naicker' (Village Naicker) was a Kamma who controlled the entire village. The Kammas of this region are treated as Backward Class people (economically and educationally) and availed the educational concessions and employment opportunities in the Government offices. The Government policy was helpful to the Kamma people who studied well and got employment in the Government offices and migrated to their work places. Thus they have spread all over the State. West Zone : TCoimbatore, Erode, Salem and Dharmapuri Districts belong to the west zone where Kamma people are living in villages and doing agriculture. The Kamma people of Coimbatore District were the pioneers in introducing modern inputs in agriculture. They have fitted diesel and electric pump sets in their wells at first in Tamilnadu. Agro based industries were started by Kammas in this region. Further they have cultivated commercial crops like cotton, sugarcane, tobacco and other horticulture. This helped to start Ginning mills, Spinning mills and Textile mills in the area. Most of the people are doing agriculture successfully and interested in agro based small scale industries. The Kamma Textile and Industrial giants of this area are benevolent in starting educational institutions and medical
hospitals to serve all the communities. The farmer's movement of 1980's was started from this District by Sri.C.Narayanaswamy Naidu, which got widespread support from all the states of India. North Zone : The North Zone comprises the Districts of Madras, Chengelpat, North Arcot and South Arcot Districts. The Kammas of this region are the 'Sons of the Soil' and not migrators as the people of Southern and Western zones. So they have followed Andhra customs more than their counterparts in other regions. Most of them were able to read and write Telugu language. This Telugu is pure, which is not understandable by the Kammas of other regions. Here people are identified with their surname ( Intiperu) and they have used their surname (Intiperu) as their initials before their names. Educational concessions were not available by the people of this region because they are treated as Forward Community They are doing their traditional agriculture and raised commercial crops like sugarcane, groundnut, paddy and others. But now some have migrated to urban centres and are doing various businesses and industries. Brick industry near and around Chennai is in Kamma's hands. Zamindars: Kurivikulam Estate (Tirunelveli Dt) Pemmasani clan Ilavarasanandanal Estate (Tirunelveli Dt) Ravella clan Naickerpatti Estate (Madurai Dt) Pemmasani clan Seevalpatti Estate (Bellam clan) List of Famous persons from Tamilnadu : 1) PSG Naidu & Sons: (Founder PSG Group of Companies): The P.S.G. family, traces its history to Periya Veedu Venkatarama Naidu in the later part of the 18th or the beginning of the 19th centuries. The letter `P' in P.S.G. is derived from Periya Veedu, `S' after Sama Naidu, the third son of Venkatarama Naidu, and `G' after Govindadamy Naidu, the second son of Sama Naidu. It was P.S. Govindadamy Naidu, the founder of the legacy, who gave Coimbatore its four illustrious sons P.S.G. Venkatasamy Naidu,P.S.G Rangasamy Naidu,P.S.G Ganga Naidu and P.S.G Narayanasamy Naidu. The Naidu family, like many others in the region, were simple farmers in Peelamedu.The family established a sizeable cotton trade with many of the mostly British-owned mills in the city. With the flourishing trade, they acquired land, which they irrigated with the help of oil-powered engines and were the first to use tractors in their farms. A ginning factory was also established in 1911. It was 1918, a war was going on and disaster struck the PSG family. Trade took a beating and P.S. Govindadamy Naidu passed away. The enterprising P.S.G brothers were also the first (in 1931) to use electric power from the Pykara Electricity System, replacing the older technology of generating power through steam engines. Their courage and forethought has continued till date, with the
family having many such firsts to its credit. The businesses of the P.S.G family started to grow and flourish and now, one can see its descendants running a diverse pool of large industries.PSG Naidu & Sons Charities (Education)::The P.S. Govindadamy Naidu and Sons Charities was registered on January 26, 1926. P.S.G Rangasamy Naidu was the initial torchbearer and the trust's first managing trustee.The facade of the Sarvajana School :It is said that the trust took its form and shape under him. This visionary, termed the trust's architect, was conferred the prestigious British India honour of Dewan Bahadur in 1941. Technical institute :The P.S.G. Trust and its institutions continued to grow and in 1926, the foundation stone was laid for the P.S.G Industrial Institute. Soon, others things followed. In 1940, P.S.G manufactured the first baling press for the textile industry; in 1947, it set up the first private arts college with the efforts of P.S.G. Ganga Naidu, and in 1951, established the College of Technology. After a gap of three decades, the Institute of Medical Science and Research came up in 1985. What is most noticeable is that the institutions always worked in relation to reality, producing and providing products and services needed for the industry. Many tall personalities have originated from the P.S.G line, from the great educationist G.R. Damodaran to G. R. Govindarajulu and Chandrakanthi Govindarajulu and the late G. Varadaraj. Many in the P.S.G line continue to make a mark in many areas like educationist Dr. D. Padmanaban, industrialist Rajshree Pathy and racer Narain Karthikeyan. 2) G.D.Naidu: (Founder UMS group): G.D. Naidu. Born on March 23rd, 1893, in Kalangal near Coimbatore, this school dropout began his Transport business in 1920, with the purchase of a passenger auto-coach, which he himself drove for the service between Pollachi and Palani. In a matter of a few years, his United Motor Service (UMS) owned the most efficient fleet of public transport vehicles in the country. In 1937, the first motor to be produced in India, was brought out at G D Naidu's UMS factory.As an inventor, G D Naidu was one-of-a-kind in the country. He invented an Electric Razor - Rasant, that gave users far more shaves than other existing options in the international market. Among his other inventions were the super-thin shaving blades, a distance adjuster for film cameras, a special fruit juice extractor, a tamper-proof vote-recording machine and a kerosene-run fan. In 1941, he announced that he had the ability to manufacture five-valve Radio sets in India at a mere Rs 70/- a set. In 1952, his brainchild - the indigenously built Petrol engine two-seater Car (costing a mere Rs 2,000/-) rolled out. But production was stopped subsequently, because of the Government's refusal to grant the necessary license. His inventiveness was not confined to machinery alone. He is said to have grown ten feet high Cotton plants, millet plants with high yields and several injections for plants that made possible what Sir C V Raman called "Botanic marvels". On his trips abroad, Naidu always seemed to draw appreciation for his innovations and his personal drive. In 1935, he personally filmed the funeral of King George V at London. In 1936, he met Adolf Hitler in Germany (even taking Still Photographs of the Fuhrer). Among the Indian stalwarts that GD Naidu's camera captured were Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawarharlal Nehru and Subash
Chandra Bose. GD Naidu remained an outsider to Politics, despite having contested and lost in the 1936 Provincial General Elections. In 1944, Naidu retired from active involvement with his automobile combine and announced several philanthropic measures including grants f or Research scholarships and welfare schemes for his employees and the depressed sections of society. Through Naidu's efforts and his donations the Arthur Hope Polytechnic and the Arthur Hope College of Engineering were set up. In 1967, the G D Naidu Industrial Exhibition, conceptualised, designed and built by the great man himself, was established. With his demise on the 4th of January, 1974, Coimbatore lost its greatest ambassador to the world. There have been several tributes paid to this legend, but none seems as apt as that by Sir C V Raman: "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, Mr Naidu is truly a man in a million - perhaps this is an understatement!" Sri G.D. Naidu was an Industrialist and a keen educationalist. He started on of the Best Engineering College in the year 1945 in Coimbatore under the name "Sri Arthur Hope College of Technology". He donated this college in the year 1949 to the Government . This college is now known as the Government College of technology, Coimbatore. Later in 1946, he started another Institute in the name of Industrial Labour Welfare Association (ILWA) and is presently known as G.D. Naidu Charities.

They had five sons, the last being Parasurama, an incarnation of Vishnu. Renuka used to fetch water in a sand pot from a holy river for Jamadagni's daily rituals. One day, it so happened that she beheld the reflection of the Gandharva, Karthaviryarjuna, in the waterpot and her mind a little bit agitated, caused delay in discharging her duty. Outraged, Jamadagni ordered his sons to behead their mother and the first four of them refused.Parasurama after obtaining three boons from his father carried out the task. To the wonder, out of the spilt blood of his mother manifested many a divine Shakti. Finally, he witnessed the resurrection of his dear mother and explained his critical position to her and beseeched her blessings. In course of time his mother guided him to rescue his father when Karthavirya discharged a lethal shaft against him. 1 Aarer (Aare) Yenulla, Yelpunulla gothram Devara kovil, Erichinapati, (Pallapati)
