Dr. M.S. Udayamurthy, one of the greatest thinkers
of India, is no more today, I am very sad
I deeply regret to inform you all, Dr. M.S. Udayamurthy died today
morning at his home, in Chennai. He was one of the greatest thinkers of our
country. He was in USA for quite some time, running a Chemical Industry
there very successfully. He was one of the prominent advisers for
Wisconsin University, USA. Even though he was in USA, he did not forget
India, especially our Tamil Nadu. He wanted to do something for our
state. In 1980s, he returned to India by giving his business to his son
and settled in Chennai; he started Makkal Sakthi Iyakkam, a social
organization to help the society. Meanwhile he had written more than 20
books in Tamil, which carried excellent message for the Nation and
Youngsters. Some of his books were
in the curriculum of Universities / Schools in Tamil Nadu.
Dr. M.S. Udayamurthy was a great motivator. I was attracted by
his words and speech, especially the one book "Nammal Mudiyum Thambi,
Nambu", later it was filmed (Unnal Mudiyum Thambi) by his friend, Shri K.
Balachander who is honoured with Dada Saheb Palkhe award. Both are hailing from a village called
Nannilam, Tanjore District. I humbly submit here, both these two legends
in their own field are very close to me, both are my well wishers, both had
come to my school / stayed in our School Guest House, gave wonderful speeches
to the students and teachers. Especially Dr. M.S.U. stayed in our Guest
House for a week to write a book and to discuss on education with me.
To join the rivers at national level, Dr. M.S.U. worked very hard;
written a few no. of books specifically on it. Went to New Delhi
several times to meet Shri Vajpayee, Shri Advani and Dr. Kalam to insist this
point. Many stalwarts and great personalities /
visionaries in India have not been recognized in our country, I feel very sad
to say. Surely it is not a loss for such people, but it is a great
loss for our country.
Mr.M.S.Udayamurthy was one of the gems of India, who should been
recognized by us. His works should have been appreciated at the highest
level by our rulers. Definitely our country would have been in a
very right track if the minds of such great people were utilised and honoured.
I and my family members personally lost our great and good friend in Dr.
M.S. Udayamurthy.
