The Dravida Story by Seema Chishti

• Anna’s years as a child were spent looking forward to two days a week at the loom. He was born into a Senguntar Mudaliar family, a weaver caste, and the biographer speculates on how a quiet wait at the loom, just untangling the threads, may have made him a “patient man”, one ready to wait “for his time”. And Anna’s epitaph describes him as “the heart that endures everything”. The author says, “Tamils judge a person by the attendance at his funeral…” and goes on to add how the Guinness World Records called Anna’s the “largest in history… with an attendance of 15 million”.
