The Kamraj Memorial House was inaugurated by the famous Chief
Minister of Tamilnadu – MG Ramachandran
in the year 1978. Kamraj proved to be an
idol for millions as a poor man going ahead
and becoming the Chief Minister thrice.
Kamraj in his early days was so poverty
stricken that the had to discontinue his
education, However his passion for books
continued and one could see the well stocked
library with a collection of some of the
most interesting books.
A lot of articles that were of personal
use to the great leader have been displayed
in his bedroom. The dining room is marked
by the display of his photographs with
some of the stalwarts of Indian politics
like the Gandhi Nehru families and other
former prime ministers and presidents
of India. One can also see a picture of
Kamraj with Queen Elizabeth and Martin
Luther King. The Kamaraj Memorial House
exemplifies the simplicity of this man’s
living.
It is a double storey building, wherein
his luxurious shawls received during felicitations
can be seen. Also displayed is his personal
attire which is extremely simple and sober.
Other personal belongings on display include
his pens, utensils, suitcase, and timepiece
and so on. The Kamaraj Memorial House
is located in TP Road T Nagar.
