M A Thangasamy Nadar, a legend

This website is dedicated in memory of our parents, M.A. Thangasamy Nadar and Paul Nesam Thangasamy to narrate the story of our family who lived in an obscure corner of our nation.

Great men are born occasionally. For instance, a ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi, a Jawaharlal Nehru, a Subhash Chandra Bose, a Thiruvalluvar, a Bharathi, a Rabindranath Tagore, a Kamaraj, a Mother Teresa, an Abdul Kalaam of this country, are being remembered by the people of our country with gratitude, for their great deeds and sacrifices to the country and the society. But some great men, little known to the outside world, were also born in this country, are being remembered by the people of the location where they lived. M.A. Thangasamy Nadar is one of such people, who lived in the region of Munnar, Kerala for a brief period. His life history is prepared, not with the intention of publication, but to keep his generations informed about this great man, born in their early family generation, for whom they can be proud of, and might be useful for their life. His history titled “Thangasamy Nadar- a legend”, is compiled and written in simple English by one of his sons, King Calvin, out of his memory and also from the data collected from the elders of the region and the elder relatives, who were associated with Thangasamy Nadar. This site is being updated from time to time by the last son Job Anbalagan.
