Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer

Alladi Krishnaswami Iyer was another personality I came across in Ramachandra Guha’s book. It is amazing to see people who have worked hard and have made an impact even during the British Rule. I am always amazed to see people who fight their environment and background and rise far above it inspite all odds.

He was one of the architects of the Indian constitution. I felt he was one of the “operations” people who don’t seek attention to themselves but ensure work is done in record pace. People like this form the foundation and are often unsung heroes.

Given below is more information about him in an article written by his grandson.
