Conjeevaram Natarajan Annadurai, popularly called “Anna" (elder brother), or “Arignar Anna” (Anna the scholar), was born on 15th September, 1909 in Kanchipuram , Tamil Nadu. He was a very good orator, writer, journalist, teacher, actor and politician. He was the founder of Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam party, (DMK). Various protests against the then ruling Congress government took him to prison on several occasions. His party won a landslide victory in the 1967 state elections and he became the Chief Minister of Madras State. It was Annadurai's government that renamed theMadras State to Tamil Nadu. Another major achievement of his government was to introduce a two language policy over the then popular three language formula.
