&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dr. C. Natesa Mudaliar&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (1875–1937), also known as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Natesan&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, was an [[India]]n [[politician]] and [[activist]] of the [[Dravidian Movement]] from the [[Indian state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]]. He was one of the founders of the [[Justice Party (India)|Justice Party]] along with [[Theagaroya Chetty]] and [[Dr. T. M. Nair]]. &lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Natesan is often mentioned as &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Dravida Thanthai&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://www.commonfolks.in/books/d/thiravidath-thanthai-doctor-c-natesanar&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (lit.,  Father of the Dravidian Movement ). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Natesa Mudaliar was born in a [[Tuluva Vellala]] family of [[Triplicane]], [[Madras]] in 1875. He had his early schooling in Madras and graduated from [[Presidency College, Chennai]] and [[Madras Medical College]] before practising as a doctor. He founded the Madras United League in 1912 and was one of the founders of the [[South Indian Liberal Federation]]. He was elected to the [[Madras Legislative Council]] in 1923 as a candidate of the Justice Party and served as [[legislator]] till 1937. Natesa Mudaliar died in 1937 at the age of 62.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Early life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natesa Mudaliar was born in [[Triplicane]], Madras in 1875.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stampsofindia&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite journal | author=Madhukar, Savita Jhingan| title=News and Announcements| journal=Stamps of India Collectors Companion| year=2008| issue=359| page=3| url=http://stampsofindia.com/newssite/download/359.pdf}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He had his early schooling in Madras and graduated in arts from the [[University of Madras]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stampsofindia&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Natesan worked as a lecturer in Pithapuram Maharaja College and as an interpreter in the Gordon Woodrof Company.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stampsofindia&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; He graduated in [[medicine]] from Madras Medical College and practised as a [[Physician|doctor]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;stampsofindia&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In 1914, he started a hostel for non-Brahmin students in [[Madras Presidency]]. This marked his entry in South Indian politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Contribution in early Dravidian politics ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Formation of the South Indian Liberal Federation ==&lt;br /&gt;
Through the mediatory efforts of Mudaliar, political opponents Sir [[Theagaroya Chetty]] and Dr. [[T. M. Nair]] came together and resolved to put forth their efforts to form an organization representing the non-Brahmins of the Madras Presidency.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mda1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November 1916, at a non-Brahmin conference presided over by Panaganti Ramarayaningar, the four important non-Brahmin organizations in the Presidency came together to form the South Indian Liberal Federation, more popularly known as the Justice Party.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;mda1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Theagaroya Chetty became the first President of the federation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natesa Mudaliar, along with [[Theagaroya Chetty]], was instrumental in negotiating an end to the [[Buckingham and Carnatic Mills]] strike of 1921, organized by [[V. Kalyanasundaram]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;roads&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=A street name unchanged|url=http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/12/22/stories/2008122250770500.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103185248/http://www.hindu.com/mp/2008/12/22/stories/2008122250770500.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 November 2012|date=22 December 2008|work=[[The Hindu]]|first=S.|last=Muthiah|author-link=S.

&lt;br /&gt;
== In the Legislative Council ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Natesan did not participate in the first general elections in Madras Presidency held in 1920. However, in the 1923 assembly elections, Natesan was elected to the Madras Legislative Council.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp41&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[#South Indian Celebrities|South Indian Celebrities]], p. 41&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He had differences with ministers in the Raja of Panagal ministry and often criticized the government.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp42&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[#South Indian Celebrities|South Indian Celebrities]], p. 42&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; When [[P. Subbarayan]] took over as Chief Minister, Natesa Mudaliar praised Subbarayan and the Swarajya Arty and appealed for the merger of the Justice Party with the [[Indian National Congress]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp42&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;selfrespect&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite book|title=Self-Respect Movement in Tamil Nadu, 1920–1940|pages=134|first=Nataraja Kandasamy|last=Mangalamurugesan|publisher=Koodal publishers|year=1979}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; At the Non-Brahmin confederation in [[Coimbatore]] in 1927, he led the split of the Justice Party into two camps: Ministerialists and Constitutionalists and functioned as the leader of the Constitutionalists till the two groups merged.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp42&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In 1929, Natesan presided over the Justice Party conference in which a resolution was passed facilitating the admission of Brahmins in the party.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp42&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1933, Natesan expressed his support to [[C. P. Ramaswami Iyer]] when the latter spoke against casteism and proposed a temple entry law in order to remove restrictions on scheduled castes entering Hindu temples.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;southindianp51&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[#South Indian Celebrities|South Indian Celebrities]], p. 51&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Death ==&lt;br /&gt;
