Kamaraj at 1970. And there are 145 Members are in this Comittiee. () Thiru S.M Yoosuf Khan is the Treasurer for district congress committe ==History== The Kingdom of Travancore was a princely state of India. Its population included an ethnic Malayalees majority and a Tamil People minority; the latter suffered linguistic discrimination in education, and leaders of Tamil organisations expressed concern about disadvantage from lack of economic development. The Tamil minority formed several political parties, one of them being Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress. The party's original platform was the formation of a separate Tamil state within Travancore. The party contested the first Travancore constituent assembly election in 1948 and won 14 seats in the 120-seat legislature. In 1949, as part of the integration of India, Kingdom of Travancore merged with Kingdom of Cochin, another princely state, to form Travancore-Cochin.Rajpramukh became the Governor. The Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress party won 9 or 10 seats in the first Travancore-Cochin assembly election. In the assembly, it supported the Indian National Congress to form a ruling coalition. It withdrew this support after 19 months because of differences with Congress over policy regarding Tamil-speaking parts of the state. In the second assembly election in 1954, TTNC won 12 seats. In the same year, TTNC called for the merger of Tamil-dominated taluks such as Thovalai, Agasteeswaram, Kalkulam, Vilavancode, Neyyatinkarai, Shenkottai, Devikulam and Peermade with Madras state. In August 1954, a street protest organised by the TTNC in support of these mergers took a violent turn. Police attempting to maintain control opened fire on protesters. Four people were killed and about a dozen sustained injuries.〔http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/27853/14/14_conclusion.pdf〕 The report of the State Reorganization Commission was discussed in the Travancore Cochin Legislative Assembly on 19 December 1955. An All Party Conference including the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, the Justice Party, the Tamil Arasu Kazhagam, the Communist and the Socialist party was convened at Madras on 28 January 1956. The conference decided to call for a Statewide hartal on 20 February 1956 throughout the Tamil country to protest against the Central Government decision. Meanwhile, changes took place in Travancore Cochin Ministry. The Congress Ministry under the leadership of Panampalli Govinda Menon lost its majority and resigned on 11 March 1956. President’s rule was introduced in Travancore Cochin State. On 16 March 1956 the States Reorganization Bill was presented in the Parliament and subsequently introduced in the Madras Legislative Assembly. It was passed both in the Parliament and in the State Legislatures. The States Reorganization Act fixed November 1, 1956 as the day for the shake up. The Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress regretted that their aspirations were not considered by the State’s Reorganization Commission. They were cheated as the commission failed to add Devikulam, Peermedu, Neyyattinkara and Chittur taluks to Madras State. Among the disputed areas on the basis of Census figures and geographical contiguity, Devikulam and Peermedu should have gone to Tamil Nadu. The rivers of the area were of vital necessity to the barren lands eastward. It is estimated that even by 1981 out of the 72,000 million cubic metre discharge of the rivers of Kerala in a normal year, only five percent is used for irrigation and power generation. The rest of the water flows into the sea. It was in a way the sheer indifference and negligence on the part of the Madras government that caused the loss of these two taluks. However, the Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress Party which was formed to liberate the Tamilians from subservience to the Malayalees could achieve its goal to a large extent. So it was a matter for celebration. At the meeting of TTNC held on 2 November 1956 it surrendered the symbol ‘pitcher’ to Kamaraj. The final meeting of TTNC was held under the leadership of A. Nesamony, on 〔Kumari Thanthai, Marshall A. Nesamony; Dr.Peter, Dr. Ivy Peter,; Peter. Liberation of the Oppressed a Continuous Struggle. History Kanyakumari District. p. 130. GGKEY:4WSDDCN93JK.〕 26 January 1957 at Allan Memorial Hall. TTNC was dissolved in that meeting and it was amalgamated with the Indian National Congress Party. The Madras Travancore States border dispute was put an end to with the formation of Kanyakumari District, consisting of the Southern four taluks of Travancore Cochin State namely Vilavancode, Kalkulam, Agasteeswaram and Thovalai. And the Tamils breathed free air after many many years of oppression. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kanyakumari congress committee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
