  • Erode Venkatappa Ramasami Maniammai (10 March 1917 – 16 March 1978), was an Indian social activist and politician. She was the second wife (at the age of 32) of E. V. Ramasami (at the age of 70). She succeeded him as the president of the Dravidar Kazhagam upon his death in 1973.

    Biography[edit]

    Maniammai was born as Kanthimathi to Kanagasabai Mudaliar, who was a member of the Justice Party.[1][2] Soon after her father's death, she joined the Dravidar Kazhagam founded by Periyar E. V. Ramasamy in 1942–43. Sources close to Periyar had indicated that Maniyammai, being a woman, could not be named his heir. So he took to the recourse of marrying her so that she could become his legal heir.[3] His marriage with a much younger Maniammai and his appointment of her as his successor shocked many of his party leaders.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
