Ramdas Pantulu Garu- My greatgrandfather

 

Thanks a lot for this precious information about Madras and our Grand Father 

As I remember our dear father narrating few episodes 

He said Sri Ramdas Pantulu as Member of Council of States in Indian Parliament under British Rule was invited to attend British Parliament and Cooperative Conference being the leading Cooperator in 1935

Here is an interesting anecdote our father loved to narrate 

Justice Sri Bhashyam Iyengar was also invited to attend some conference 

All the invitees were hosted Dinner 

Bhashyam Iyengar was in Traditional Brahmin Attire 

Brocaded Dhoti

Dark Long Coat

Turban 

Tilak on his forehead 

Churchill puffing away his Cigar sipping whatever he was drinking looked at Bhashyam Iyengar 

“ Bhashyam what’s the hurry 

You forgot to wear your trousers “

Our man was quick on his repartee “ Sir Winston you British dress for Dinner 

We South Indians undress for Dinner “
