Kamaraj — formally K. Kamarajar — was the Chief Minister of Madras State from 1954 to 1963 and the architect of what became known as the Kamaraj Plan, a 1963 proposal that saw senior Congress ministers resign their government posts to focus on party organization. It effectively ended the careers of several rivals while elevating Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi. He never held national office yet was widely called the "Kingmaker" of Indian politics.
This commemorative was issued on the centenary of his birth.
