Chetur Sankaran Nair – A National Icon Not to Be Forgotten

Chetur Sankaran Nair, a towering personality in India's freedom movement, was born on July 11, 1857, in Mankara, Palakkad district. In 1897, he was elected President of the Indian National Congress during the session held at Amaravati.

In 1915, he became a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council. Following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, he resigned from the council in protest. He supported only constitutional agitation and opposed Mahatma Gandhi’s Civil Disobedience Movement. He openly criticized Gandhi’s methods and, in 1922, authored a book titled Gandhi and Anarchy.

Firm in his belief that India should attain complete independence while preserving its unique identity and cultural essence, he stood apart by rejecting personal gain and relinquishing high positions for the sake of noble national ideals. He was a true son of India, who safeguarded the spirit of patriotism with integrity and courage.

He passed away on April 24, 1934.

On his remembrance day, we offer our heartfelt tributes to his enduring legacy.
