Chakravarti
Rajagopalachari, who passed away on 25 December 1972, was the last
Governor-General of India, as India soon became a Republic in 1950.
Furthermore, he was the first Indian-born governor-general, since before him
the posts were held by British nationals. Rajagopalachari was also founder of
the Swatantra Party — the first political party in India to openly
espouse market-friendly economic policies — was born in Thorapalli village in
the Madras Presidency. Known as ‘Rajaji’ to friends, family and
admirers, he was a writer, politician, lawyer and minister, played an active
role in the Indian independence movement, and was close to both Jawaharlal
Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi.
