Sachivottama Sir Chetpat Pattabhirama Ramaswami Iyer, KCSI, KCIE (12 November 1879 – 26 September 1966), also called "C. P.", was an Indian lawyer, administrator and politician who served as the Advocate-General of Madras Presidency from 1920 to 1923, Law member of the Executive council of the Governor of Madras from 1923 to 1928, Law member of the Executive Council of the Viceroy of India from 1931 to 1936 and the Diwan of from 1936 to 1947.

Ramaswami Iyer was born in 1879 in Madras city and studied at Wesley College High School and Presidency College, Madras before qualifying as a lawyer from the Madras Law College. He practised as a lawyer in Madras and succeeded S. Srinivasa Iyengar as the Advocate-General of the Madras Presidency. He subsequently served as the Law member of the Governor of Madras and the Viceroy of India before being appointed Diwan of Travancore in 1936.

Ramaswami Iyer served as Diwan from 1936 to 1947 and is credited with having introduced social and administrative reforms as the Temple Entry Proclamation (1936), abolition of capital punishment, universal adult franchise and the midday meal scheme in Travancore state. He is also credited with the establishment of numerous hydro-electric power projects, the creation of Kerala University, and the establishment of Travancore Bank, which eventually became State Bank of Travancore.

Ramaswami Iyer served as a leader of the Indian National Congress in his early days. He was made a Knight Commander of the Indian Empire in 1926 and a Knight Commander of the Star of India in 1941. He returned these titles when India attained independence in 1947. He was also a member of the 1926 and 1927 delegations to the League of Nations.

The ancestors of C. P. Ramaswami Iyer were Vadadesa Vadama Brahmins whose seat was the town of Chetpet in the North Arcot of Tamil Nadu.[1][2] The family traces their lineage to Dikshitars whom they believed, were Deshastha Brahmins who migrated from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh to the town of Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh from where they migrated to the northern part of Tamil Nadu in the 16th century AD.[2] As a reward for their piety and scholarship, the migrants were granted the villages of Chetpat, Adayapalayam and Morakkaniyur by a local chieftain.[2] Ramaswami Iyer's family originated from the group which inherited the village of Chetpat.[2] C. P. was also related to Achan Dikshitar, brother of the famous Advaitist saint Appayya Dikshitar.[3]

Chetpet Pattabhirama Ramaswami Iyer was born on Deepavali day, 13 November 1879 to C. R. Pattabhirama Iyer (1857–1903) and his wife Seethalakshmi Ammal, also called Rangammal in the town of Wandiwash, North Arcot.[5] Pattabhirama Iyer was a prominent judge who had served as the chairman of the committee which sponsored Swami Vivekananda's voyage to the United States of America.[6] C. P.'s birthdate was reckoned as 12 November as per the Hindu calendar which calculates a day as the time span between sunrise and sunset.[5]

C. P. had his schooling at the Wesley College High School in Madras.[7] He had an extremely strict upbringing as a result of a prediction that the child would not pass a single exam in his life.[7] On completion of his schooling, C. P. enrolled at the Presidency College, Madras.[8] In college, C. P. won prizes in English, Sanskrit and Mathematics and the Elphinstone Prize for his paper on the Nebular theory.[9] C. P. passed his degree with a gold medal and graduated with distinction from the Madras Law College.[9] C. P. had always desired to become an English professor.[10] However, his father, Pattabhirama Iyer wished that his son become a lawyer and accordingly, C. P. chose a career in law.[10] C. P. spent his college vacations in the Mysore kingdom with the Diwan, Sir K. Seshadri Iyer whom he always claimed as his inspiration.[9]

In 1903, C. P. joined V. Krishnaswamy Iyer as an apprentice.[11][12] Just before the death of Pattabhirama Iyer the same year, he arranged for C. P.'s admission as a junior to Sir V. Bhashyam Aiyangar[13] but the latter was not able to accommodate him.[14] As a result, C. P. practised on his own and made a reputation as a lawyer.[14] He fought and won over 300 cases[14] and was offered a judgeship of the Madras High Court which he, however, turned down.[15] In 1920, he was appointed Advocate-General of Madras by the then Governor, Lord Willingdon.[12][15] During his tenure as a lawyer, C.P. handled a number of prominent cases as the Ashe murder trial[14] and the Besant Narayaniah case.[16]

In 1920, C. P. was nominated as the Advocate-General of Madras Presidency. He was responsible for the introduction of the City Municipalities Act and the Madras Local Boards Act. In 1923, he was nominated to the executive council of the Governor of Madras and was charged with the portfolios of law and order, police, Public Works Department, irrigation, ports and electricity.[20]

As a member of the executive council, C. P. laid the foundation of the Pykara Dam which was constructed between 1929 and 1932 at a cost of Rs. 67.5 million.[21] He also started the construction of Mettur Dam over the Cauvery river.[21] While the Pykara Hydro-electric project triggered the rapid industrialization of Coimbatore,[22] the Mettur project was used to irrigate vast areas of Tanjore and Trichy districts.[23] As the member in charge of ports, C. P. was also responsible for the improvement of Cochin, Vishakapatnam and Tuticorin ports.[22]

Between 1926 and 1927 he was the Indian Delegate at the League of Nations in Geneva.[25] By 1931 he was a Law Member[clarification needed] of the Government of India[26] and in 1932 attended the Third Round Table Conference at London.[25] In 1933 he was the sole[citation needed] Indian delegate to the World Economic Conference and the next year he drafted a constitution for the state of Kashmir.[citation needed]

In 1931, when Chithira Thirunal was barred from succeeding his deceased uncle as the Maharaja of Travancore, C. P. spoke on his behalf to the Viceroy of India.[27] The Viceroy agreed to crown Chithira Thirunal but only on the condition that C. P. should function as adviser to the young monarch.[28] C. P. agreed and served as Legal and Constitutional adviser to the prince from 1931 to 1936.[28]

On 12 November 1936, at the instance of C. P., Chithira Thirunal issued the revolutionary Temple Entry Proclamation which gave Hindus of all castes and classes, including Dalits or untouchables, the right to enter Hindu temples in the state.[30] This was bitterly opposed by conservative, yet influential upper-caste Hindus who posed a grave-threat to the life of the Diwan.[31] This proclamation earned for the Maharaja and his Diwan the praise of Mahatma Gandhi and other social reformers.[31]

During C. P.'s tenure as Diwan, Travancore made rapid strides in industrial development. C. P. invited the Indian Aluminium Company to set up a factory in the town of Alwaye.[32] The first fertiliser plant in India, the Fertilizers and Chemicals of Travancore Ltd. (FACT) was established by C. P. to manufacture ammonium sulphate.[32][33] This was established with American collaboration in open defiance to the hostility of the Viceroy of India.[33] C.P. also established a plant to manufacture cement and another to manufacture titanium dioxide.The Travancore plywood factory at Punalur[34] The Travancore Rayons Limited was established in 1946 with a plant at Perumbavoor.[34] The first plant to manufacture aluminium cables was opened at Kundara.[34] By the time, C. P. stepped down as Diwan in 1947, the revenues of the state had increased fourfold from the time he had assumed charge.[citation needed] C. P. wished to establish a hydro-electric power project on the Periyar river.[32] However, his efforts were opposed by the Government of Madras.[32] C. P. argued as a lawyer on behalf of Travancore and won.[32] As a result, the Pallivasal hydro-electric power project was established on the Periyar river.[32] He initiated[citation needed] the Pechipara Hydro-electric Scheme (present Kodayar Hydroelectric Power Project in Kanyakumari District), the Periyar Game Sanctuary and other irrigation projects.

C. P. carried out a great deal of pioneering work for the Vivekananda Rock at Cape Comorin and built guest-houses at Kanyakumari. He renovated the Padmanabhapuram Palace of Marthanda Varma's days (in present-day Kanyakumari District) and expanded the Trivandrum Art Gallery. In 1937, C. P. started the University of Travancore with the Maharajah as Chancellor and himself as Vice Chancellor. In 1939 he was awarded an honorary L.L.D. Degree by the University of Travancore In 1940 under his Dewanship Travancore became the first state to nationalise road transport in India. The first cement highway in India was constructed between the capital Trivandrum and Kanniyakumari covering a distance of 88 kilometres. The same year capital punishment was abolished and adult franchise introduced. He was also the first to appoint a lady as District Judge (Mrs. Anna Chandy later became the first Indian woman High Court Judge). Iyer introduced for the first time the midday meal scheme to prompt poor children to attend school.

In reaction to C. P.'s speeches for the creation of an "American model" of executive in Travancore,[citation needed] a mass uprising broke out in the Allepey region in October 1946.On 24 October Travancore police killed near about 200 people in Punnapra and the Govt. ordered martial law in Alleppy and Cherthala. CP's police and army moved to Alleppy and on 27 October, Vaylar witnessed another mass uprising and 150 people were killed on the spot.On the same day 130 people were killed in different locations of Alleppy by police shoot out.According to prof. A shreedharamenon's 'Kerala History' Near about 1000 people died in Punnappara Vyalar Agitation. Even though the agitation was a short-time failure, it caused a responsible rule in Travancore.

After he resigned his Dewanship of Travancore, C. P. left for London. In 1948 he returned his titles of KCSI and KCIE in a letter to the Governor-General Lord Louis Mountbatten. In the same year, he visited Brazil on the invitation of the Government of Brazil and Argentina, Peru and Mexico as a tourist.[42] He also visited the United States of America where he gave talks at the University of California, Berkeley, and had discussions with important bank executives, journalists and US President Harry S. Truman.[42] In 1949–50, he visited the United States again as a Visiting Professor of the American Academy of Asian Studies at California.[42] In 1952, he toured Australia and New Zealand as a guest of the respective governments and visited the United States again in 1953 on a lecture tour.[43] From 1 July 1954 to 2 July 1956, he served as the Vice Chancellor of Banaras Hindu University. From 26 January 1955, C. P. also served as a Vice Chancellor of Annamalai University, thereby becoming the first Indian to function as Vice Chancellor of two universities at the same time.[44]

In 1953, C.P. was appointed member of the Press Commission of India.[45] Two years later, C. P. toured China as the leader of an Indian universities delegation.[45] C. P. served as a member of the University Grants Commission (1955),[46] the Punjab Commission (1961),[47] the National Integration Committee on Regionalism,[46] the Chairman of the Hindu Religious Endowments Commission from 1960 to 1962[47] and President of the Inter-University board of India and Ceylon (1965).[46]

In September 1966, C. P. left for England to conduct research on a planned book titled "A History of My Times" at the India Office library.[48] At about 11:30 am, on 26 September 1966, he suddenly slumped on his armchair while speaking to a reporter and died instantly.[49][50] The following day, The Times carried the news of his death: http://edufb.net/10469.pdf http://edufb.net/16688.pdf http://edufb.net/9590.pdf http://edufb.net/12364.pdf http://edufb.net/2227.pdf http://edufb.net/2799.pdf http://edufb.net/6729.pdf http://edufb.net/10791.pdf http://edufb.net/502.pdf http://edufb.net/19186.pdf http://edufb.net/15790.pdf http://edufb.net/19402.pdf http://edufb.net/14973.pdf
