New Stamp Issue: V VenkataSubba Reddiar

V. Venkatasubba Reddiar who was Chief Minister during different periods .He was a person of unimpeachable integrity and highly respected by one and all both in Puducherry and all over India for his gentleness, kindness, generosity and magnanimity even towards those who differed from him in their political views.

V. Venkatasubba Reddiar’s sacrifices and struggles to liberate Puducherry from French rule would take volumes in the annals of Puducherry history. Although belonging to landed gentry, Venkatasubba Reddiar had his heart towards the poor and downtrodden and strived throughout his political career towards their uplift.

V. Venkatasubba Reddiar possessed neither rancor nor malice towards any one either personally or politically. He neither sought nor go after fame and name. Fame and name came to stay with V.Venkatasubba Reddiar, as one of the chief architects of liberation of Puducherry from the French rule and his name as the most benevolent and humane Chief Minister will remain in the Puducherry's political pages till the end of time.
