There's a great deal of unsubstantiated rumour on this page. If nobody cites any sources for the CR or Indira stories, I will have to remove them. Ditto the Shastri nonsense. Hornplease 07:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
As threatened, so done. Hornplease
Kindly put back the changes that you removed in this article. If you wish to engage in a civilized discussion, we can meet and verify, one way or another. Incidentally, I live in the NE too.

Well if you insist on Rules... Therefore, unless you provide evidence, I will remove any/all comments about his education, since Kamaraj was essentially illiterate. The comments about the progress made in the state undership, will also go, since Tamilnadu essentially stagnated under Congress rule. The claim that he was humble etc, will also be deleted. Other miscellaneous coments about the caste etc will also go.
And have a nice day!

HornPlease,
As you seem sincere in your beliefs and in your stand of unbiased neutrality put back the comments. We will try to go over the issues and resolve them. It would be best if the comments and views of others are not regarded as 'nonsense' or 'rubbish' simply because they are different.

Can some one write about Kamaraj's role in syndicate? -- Vyzasatya 15:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Please note that the Indian Naming conventions are different. The son's name is written first and then only the father's name (or surname) is written. Hence the Correct name will be Kamaraj Kumaraswami and not the opposite. In fact the correct way would be K.Kamaraj only.
Initials in Tamil naming conventions mean the father's name and not the son's name. For example brothers Robert Smith and William Smith are written as R.Smith and W.Smith. But brothers Lavan and Kusan are written as R.Lavan and R.Kusan in Tamil Nadu. Tell me how this should be expanded so as to give the westerners a correct interpretation. WIll you write it as Raman Lavan or Lavan Raman. WHat will be the impression that will be generated in the global community when it is written as Raman Lavan. Who will be considered as the father and who will be considered as the son. If you are going to name them as per western conventions it is K.Raman and L.Raman which is never done in Tamil Nadu. Similarly the smith brothers will be called as S.Robert and S.Williams. I can't comment upon this system, but please expand R.Lavan as Lavan Raman and not Raman Lavan
For communities using double initial (the first is the name of the Town/village and the second the name of the father) it is appropriate for the naming conventions used for Thiru.Vi.Ka. That is called as vilasam. Hope you all have heard about அய்யம்பேட்டை அறிவுடைநம்பி கலியம்பெரும்மாள் இந்திரன் and அய்யம்பேட்டை அறிவுடைநம்பி கலியம்பெரும்மாள் சந்திரன்
However the use of initial is different in South Indian context and western context. Rajaji, Viswanathan Anand, Dr.A.Ramadoss, Palaniappan Chidambaram are classic examples of how North Indian Media and Western Media have misintepreted the South Indian naming conventions. The glaring example of wrong naming conventions is referring Anbumani as Dr.Ramadoss. Ramadoss is his father's name and not surname. (If it is a surname, Dr.Ramadoss can refer to either the father and son, but since it is his father's name, the english media are committing a blunder when they say that Dr.Ramadoss is the Health Minister) Just because such errors have been committed by those who are not well versed in Tamil Naming Conventions, it does not mean that it should be continued. (Inspite of the fact that the bharat ratna citation - In Hindi - probably written by some one without any knowledge about Tamil Naming Convention - gives his name in the wrong way)
Yet another example of how Western Media misinterpret Indian Naming conventions and use the father's name instead of the subject's name can be seen from the BBC Report which says Soundararajan is refusing to comment. (Common Guys... Soundarajan is her father) But atleast BCC mentioned S.Shanthi as Santhi Soundararajan, and not Soundarajan Santhi !!!!
If some one cannot still understand the naming conventions, please ask yourself as to how you will expand J.Jayalalithaa ??

Please look at this article from The Hindu. It is also reported here in The Tribune. It reads that the then US vice-president hailed him as one of the greatest politicians of the free world. Guess it can be included. Docku ( talk) 23:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of K. Kamaraj's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

No major editing warring appears to have taken place recently, and vandalism is rare.
The images included should be plenty, provided they are not copyright violations. The lead image on the infobox is published by the Government of India and appears to be fair use. The second image belongs to the uploader's family and is therefore considered fair use. The third image is uploaded as the author's own work, and is thus considered fair use. The fourth image appears to be public domain. Finally, the last image, uploaded by the Flickr upload bot, would also be considered fair use. As there appears to be no copyright violations, this article passes this criteria.
