14-01-1969 அன்று சென்னையில் கலைவாணர் என்.எஸ்.கிருஷ்ணன் அவர்களின் சிலையினைத் திறந்து வைத்துப் பேரறிஞர் அண்ணா அவர்கள் ஆற்றிய உரை. இது அறிஞர் அண்ணா அவர்கள் கலந்துகொண்ட கடைசி நிகழ்ச்சி.
என்.எஸ்.கிருஷ்ணன் அவர்களுடைய சிறந்த உழைப்பு அவருக்கு மட்டுமல்லாமல் கலைத்துறைக்கு - நகைச்சுவைப் பாத்திரத்திற்கு ஒரு தனியிடத்தைப் பெற்றுத் தந்திருக்கின்றது. அதற்கு முன்னால் வரையில் நகைச்சுவைப் பாத்திரம் என்றால் ஒட்டப்பட்ட மீசை திடீரென்று கீழே விழும் - அது நகைச்சுவைப் பாத்திரம். நடக்கின்றபொழுது இடறி கீழே விழுவார்கள் - அது நகைச்சுவைப் பாத்திரம். இப்படி இருந்ததை மாற்றி நகைச்சுவைப் பாத்திரம் என்பது சிந்தித்துப் பார்த்து சிரித்து நற்பயனைப் பெறத்தக்க ஒரு பாத்திரமாக மாற்றியமைத்துக் காட்டியவர் நகைச்சுவை மன்னர் என்.எஸ்.கிருஷ்ணன் அவர்கள்.
அவருடைய சிலைத் திறப்பு விழா நடக்கின்ற இந்த நேரத்தில் அவருடன் நெருங்கிப் பழகிய என்போன்றோர்களுக்கு, ஆயிரத்தெட்டு எண்ணங்கள் நெஞ்சத்திலே அலைமோதத்தான் செய்யும். அவைகளையெல்லாம் எடுத்து விளக்கிக்கொண்டிருப்பதற்கு நேரமும் இல்லை, என்னுடைய உடல் நிலை அதற்குத் தகுந்ததாகவும் இல்லை.

Colossal Taxation And Meagre Returns - Arignar Anna Speaks at the RAJYA SABHA on April 1966. Taking part in the discussions following the introduction of the Finance Bill in 1966 in the Rajya Sabha, Anna says that the amount of taxation raised in the country is so colossal and the returns to the people by way of social services, education and health etc., is so meager. He condemns wasteful duplication of administrative units and inadequate investment on education, health, water supply and social services. In a fiery well-informed speech, Anna demolishes those wishful castles of imagination built in the air by the Ruling Party regarding the prosperity and progress of the country. He examines the volume, velocity and vindictiveness of taxation measures and criticizes the Government’s almost complete dependence on taxes. He characterizes the performance of the Government as poor and charges the Government with the heinous crime of poor husbanding of the available resources of the country. He quotes widely divergent authorities ranging from experts from the United Nations and the World Bank to Soviet economists and a Congress Minister to prove his point of poor performance by the Government. Anna accuses the Government of having miserably failed to generate revenues from the Government’s vast investments in the public sector. It is refreshing to note that at the time these papers are edited (1975) there is greater awareness in the country on the need to earn adequate return from investments in the public sector.

General Elections were expected to be held in India in early 1967 and therefore February 1966 was the last opportunity for the Government of the day to summarise its aims, objectives and achievements through that year’s Presidential Address. The Presidential Address was in the nature of a stock-taking on what the Government had achieved. It was also equally an opportunity for leaders of the Opposition to take a critical look at the achievements of the Government prior to the impending General Elections. As the Leader of the DMK Party, who was to come to power in the then State of Madras in early 1967, Anna was utilizing the occasion of the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address to do his own stock-taking of the problems facing the country. He found no rationale for the continuance of emergency legislation and Defence of India Regulations which were enacted following the Chinese attack in 1962 and demanded their repeal. He deplored the non-availability of even drinking water in some parts of the country. He condemned the pathetic dependence of the country on foreign aid and import of food grains even after 18 years of Independence. He spoke of the grinding poverty of the masses and widespread all-round frustration in the country. Anna’s debating skill consisted in proving the inefficiency, corruption and mismanagement of the Congress Party by quoting from what the accredited spokesmen of that party including its President had said. He quoted the then President of the Congress, Thiru K. Kamaraj Nadar to say that his party “has not succeeded in lessening let alone removing the disparity between the rich and poor”. He quoted others like Acharya Vinobha Bhave and Gulzarilal Nanda. Raising the separate of a violent revolution he warned that the angry new generation cannot be fed by the harvest of the gladness of the past generation. In the General Elections that followed in 1967, the Congress Party at the Centre fared badly and had to depend on the support of the DMK and Members of other Progressive Parties in Parliament for carrying out its policies and programmes till the General Elections in 1971 following the Congress split gave that Party an absolute majority in the Parliament. In the 1967 General Elections, many stalwarts of the Congress Party were repudiated by the electorates in their own constituencies including the then Congress President, Thiru K. Kamaraj Nadar. The DMK Party led by Anna was given a massive mandate to rule the State of Madras which was one of the Congress strongholds.

Unity or Uniformity - Arignar Anna speaks at Rajya Sabha on March 1965. Hindi was to become the official language of the Indian Union after January 26, 1965, according to Article 343 of the Constitution of India. The Tamil people prepared themselves for a massive Constitutional agitation on the 26th January 1965 to express their strong resentment against the imposition of Hindi. True to the tradition of all establishments, the then Congress Government of Madras led by Thiru M. Bhaktavatsalam, looked at the forthcoming agitation of January 26 as a law and order problem and failed to properly appreciate the explosive situation that was in the making. On the night of 25th January 1965, Anna and 3000 of his party men were taken into preventive custody and were released only on 2nd February 1965, Tamil Nadu witnessed a mass upsurge and mass fury followed by violence in a number of places that it has seldom witnessed in its history. Two Congress Ministers, Thiruvalargal C. Subramniam and O.V. Alagesan, resigned from the Central Cabinet on the language issue, After the arrest of Anna and the Leaders of the DMK Party, the students took over the leadership of the movement.

Debacle on the Food Front - Arignar Anna speaks at Rajya Sabha on September 1964. Speaking on the motion regarding the food situation, Anna makes a penetrating analysis of the subject. He says that the food problem is an amalgam of many problems, the three main aspects of which are production, he highlights the failure of the land reforms. He points out the need to ensure that incentive prices declared by Government do not remain in thee hands of a few Landlords but should trickle down to the actual tillers of the soil. He urges on thee need to concentrate on reducing the cost of cultivation to the farmer by reducing the price of fertilizers, seeds and land revenue as far as uneconomic holdings are concerned. With the insight of a shrewd economist he finds out thee pitfalls in setting up the proposed Food grains Corporation and highlights the need for handling the distribution in a sympathetic and human way with a view to benefiting the producers as opposed to the middle men. He urges the Government to take over the grain trade as a whole and not to try to handle part of the trade and warns the Government that “just as the land lords have beaten the Government in the game of land reforms, these grain dealers will beaten the Government in the game of land reforms, these grain dealers will beat the Government in this game, unless the entire grain trade is taken over and controlled by the Government.” He also urges the need to remember the paramount interest of the consumer in fixing fair prices for food grain. Most of the problems on the food front highlighted by Anna in his speech remain with us. One of the factors for the massive victory of the DMK Party in the 1967 General Elections was the debacle on the food front in the then Madras State. The administrative bungling was so colossal that a few weeks before the general elections, most of the ration shops in major urban areas in the city had no rice to distribute. One of the important promises the DMK Party made in 1967 before they came to power was to do justice to the consumer by selling rice at Re. 1 a measure.

Resisting the Hindi Menace - Arignar Anna speaks at the Rajya Sabha on May 1963. The official Languages Bill, 1963, was introduced, because Article 343 of the Constitution stated categorically that the Official Language of the Union shall be Hindi after 1963. Being aware of the Passionate opposition towards such an arbitrary arrangement by the Non Hindi States, this Bill tried to achieve a tenuous compromise by ruling that English may be also an official language until such time as Hindi could develop into an Official Language. In an able advocacy of the case for continuance of English as an official language instead of Hindi, Anna traces the history of thee language problem. He refers to the apprehension mentioned by thee Congressmen themselves during the discussions in the Constituent Assembly and points out that the language resolution in the Constituent Assembly was at best a compromise and therefore it is proper to do some rethinking on the subject. Anna was prophetic when he stated in his speech, “In this problem, The DMK occupies only a very small place. It depends upon the future of this Bill whether the DMK is to occupy a greater sphere or occupy the same sphere.” The overall attitude of the Congress Party to the language issue made that party very unpopular in Tamil Nadu. The people of Tamil Nadu started seeing the DMK as a party that would fight to any extent, at any cost and undergo any suffering to resist the imposition of Hindi imperialism in Tamil Nadu. The mishandling of the language issue by the Congress Party and the language agitations of 1965 created an emotional awakening among the Tamil people and contributed to the electoral victories that DMK secured in the 1967 elections.

The Constitution (16th Amendment Bill) had been passed by a massive majority in the Lok Sabha. In the Rajya Sabha Anna was the solitary figure pleading for justice and fair play. Alone but undaunted he stands up to reiterate his point to explain the intense and growing frustration among the section of the people in his part of the country about the political set-up under the federation.
The Chinese invasion and its aftermath had considerably changed Anna’s views and the desirability of an independent ‘Dravida Nadu’. In the speech he made while the Constitution Amendment Bill was introduced as well as in this speech he argues for the need to keep intact the right of any unit to ask for separation. But accent in these speeches is for getting more sovereignty to the States and removing the regional disparities. He was convinced that unless the DMK contested and won the Elections, the rights and aspirations of the non-Hindi speaking people, especially of the South, could not be realized.

Arignar Anna’s Rajya Sabha Speech on 25. 01. 1963: Madam Deputy Chairman, it is perhaps a painful paradox that we are today discussing about an amendment of the Constitution given to the government as new legal weapon to put down not an antagonist but a protagonist of a cause and that too immediately after expressing our desire and willingness to meet the Chinese aggressor round a table for negotiation. I have been hearing with more than extraordinary interest to the very many remarks made from both sides of the House. Let me, at the outset, as a sponsor of the idea which you seek now to put down by legal repression, give an analysis of the demand and its history not, of course, to reiterate my point of view but just a dispel demand. Hon. Member was saying that the demand for Dravidastan was based or immediately followed after what Phizo demanded. Truth is very far from it. Another member has stated here that such fissiparous tendencies arose after the advent of independence. That is coming very near the truth but not the truth itself. The DMK is an offshoot of the DK. The DK has been in existence long before independence and which there were wranglings, problems and policies as to the future political set-up. The DK, in which I was at that time acting as the General Secretary presented a political formula for the South. It is only as a corollary to that, that the DMK which is an offshoot of the DK is enunciating that principle. therefore, this has nothing to do with the acts of commission or omission of the ruling party. It was nothing to do with similar or more ferocious demands in any other part of the country. I would request members of this House to at least analyse the problem before they pounce upon the problem itself.

1962 was a year of setback for India in the wake of the unprovoked Chinese aggression. The Chinese overwhelmed our forces and occupied our territories. In a sense, 1962 was also the finest hour for India, because the misfortune brought the Indian people together, made the forget their differences and take a united stand against the aggressor. Speaking on the proclamation approving the resolution on Emergency by the Government, Arignar Anna says that “we might march as one people wedded to one principle having one aim, that is to chuck out the Chinese and safeguard the country.” Arignar Anna also asks the Government to “enter the name of the DMK in the roll call of honour for the safety, for the dignity and future of this country.”

Quo Vadis? Whither goest though? Anna asks this ancient question as a concerned Indian, who sees the country approaching a precipice. Speaking on the Finance (No.2) Bill of 1962, he examines the economic progress achieved by the Government after 15 years of ‘fleecing the people’ in the name of the plan. He questions the rationale of a tax stricture which leans so heavily on indirect taxation, especially in a nation where 95% of the people live on the brink of starvation. He speaks feelingly of the utter lack of coordination between the Centre and the States. He speaks of disparities between the various regions of the country in the matter of development and the neglect of the Southern States by the Centre. He deplores the delay in developing Tuticorin in Tamilnadu as a major port. Anna as Chief Minister of Tamilnadu succeeded in persuading the government of India to take effective steps to develop Tuticorin as a major port. Though the Government of India ultimately accepted his other suggestion of giving tax concession and subsidies for the development of backward areas in the country, this was not done during Anna’s lifetime. Fortunately, today, the country’s attention is fully focused more on regional disparities in development and the paramount need to reduce disparities in development and the paramount need to reduce disparities in the minimum possible time. This was a cause dear to Anna’s heart.

Tamil Nadu was once named after it’s capital city, Madras. The situation was a complicated one. Even Congressmen spoke of Tamil Nadu within the State, reserving ‘Madras State’ for letters and speeches meant for external consumption. To appease the Tamil People, they even changed the name of the Aranmore Palace in Ooty to ‘Tamizhagam’. But they were not willing to set right this anomaly by making a Constitution Amendment. It was Thiru Bhupesh Gupta, of the Communist Party who took the initiative in 1961 by introducing a private Members’ Bill to amend the First Schedule, entry number 7 of the Constitution. The purpose of the Bill was to call the Madras State by its rightful name ‘Tamil Nadu’ in conformity with the historical, linguistic and cultural considerations. Anna’s impassioned defense of this Bill will long be remembered for its sincere emotion and clear-cut reasoning. The adamant Centre refused to yield and opposed the private Member’s Motion to call ‘Madras State’ by its rightful name ‘Tamil Nadu’. With its majority, the Congress Party defeated the Bill; but the change could not be resisted for long. Four years later in 1967, when the DMK was elected to power in Madras State, Anna as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu achieved his objective with the unanimous backing of both the Houses of the State Legislature. Today, there is no Madras State, only ‘Tamil Nadu’.

Arignar Anna’s maiden speech at the Rajya Sabha was on the Motion of Thanks to the President’s Address to the Session of Parliament in April 1962. It was a scathing indictment of the Government of India, a clever caricature of its policies.
For the first time, the echoes of resurgent neo-nationalism were heard at the Capital, heard as a convincing logical concept, from an accredited leader of a political party elected by the Legislators of that Party to represent them in the Rajya Sabha. The demand for a separate ‘Dravida Nadu’ comprising the four Southern States, was seriously and solemnly made in the Indian Parliament.
Arignar Anna had established his reputation as a most outstanding Tamil Speaker of his generation; but the Members of the Rajya Sabha were agreeably surprised to listen to his maiden speech delivered in English with eloquence, fluency, and conviction. Arignar Anna’s attempt was to persuade his colleagues in the Rajya Sabha to see reason and logic in his demand for a separate Dravida Nadu.
