About P. Jeevanandham
P. Jeevanandham, also called Jeeva, was a social reformer, political leader, litterateur and one of the pioneers of the Communist and socialist movements in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. A down-to-earth person with a clean record in public life, Jeevanandham was held in high esteem by ordinary people. Later, when the Madras Provincial Congress Socialist Party was formed in 1937, Jeevanandham became its first secretary. Before enrolling himself as the first member of the CPI in Tamil Nadu, Jeevanandham was an active participant in these two earlier movements. In the first general elections in post independent India, Jeevanandham won a seat for the Legislative Assembly from the Wasermanpet constituency in Madras.
