Biography
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]
