Chance: Yeah! But just as Mahatma is not POV for Gandhi...so is 'chose to become" for Rajaji. - Kaysov
Would it be possible to move this article to C. Rajagopalachari or Chakravarti Rajagopalachari? A redirect will remain at Rajaji. My concern is with using an honorific or nickname to refer to politicians – must we use "Netaji" instead of "Subhas Chandra Bose", "Mahatma" instead of "Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi", and "Panditji" instead of "Jawaharlal Nehru"? I'll double-check, but I think this is contrary to the Wikipedia naming policy. QuartierLatin1968 15:01, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I would concur, based on my limited knowledge. john k 15:20, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
It would be nice if the honorific titles are appended to the full name like Subhas Chandra Bose (Netaji) or Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi) as this is the way they are addressed in India with their respective honorific titles, And FYI netaji and mahatma are not nicknames they are honorable titles vested on them.

This has been updated .I fully agree with you one has to give true with his positive and negative points his 4 years as CM of Madras State was amongst the worst when he introduced Hindi in 1937 and later Kula Kalvi Thittam (Hereditary Education Policy which was opposed and later removed by kamaraj and became a non elected member and chief minister through a constitutional impropriety which was not liked by Nehru.good job soman keep it up.
Please avoid personal attacks
To the Gentleman or Lady 80.195.10.170. In the Pre computer era which is just about 20 years in India and in most countries in the world.All Governments orders/documents are not available on the internet dating back before that era have not been updated online worldwide.This perhaps includes Kula Kalvi Thittam or the legislation of the Madras Government in 1950's .This includes almost all legislation.Further no encyclopedia posts articles only with Government policy documents which if made mandotary for all pages it will decades to collect and cost millions of dollars to get all documents from over 200 countries while it is possible to get government links for recent events in the internet era it may not possible for all events in the pre Computer era.As per Wikipedia policy citations are enough not Governement documents as they are difficult to get particularly old ones.Please do not remove contents as historical facts cannot be hidden by removing them.You c.an make edits which are positive with citations not negative ie removing content..

Can any one add more on Rajaji stint as Chief Minister of Madras state?. His relationship with Kamaraj, EVR, AnnaDurai?. His infamous plan to have school and work?
Actually. Rajaji is my great grand uncle. My grand father, who is his nephew, will help me a lot in providing information about this great leader. User:thelivinglegend —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 12:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

wasnt he an untouchable who started the caste politics in india. (based on anti brahaminical movements). nids 07:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Of course not! Rajaji was a Brahmin, not a Dalit.
Rajaji remained aloff from the Andhra issue.Potti Sriramulu was allowed to fast and die in Mylapore in Madras in the centre of the city.There are questions as to why Potti Sriramulu was not arrested or force fed as the case should be even when he fasted for over 50 days. He deputed two of his cabinet colleagues, Sankara Reddy and Dr Nagana Gouda to appear before the Mishra Commission regarding Bellary and it was Nehru who opposed and rejected the demand for not including Madras(chennai)into Andhra.
Mr Bharatveer You have contributed a lot keep it up .Thanks a lot as a Wikipedia user. .Nothing personal mate just keen to know why your removed it?Is it against policy was I wrong ?Please tell me would be glad to know? Please Do not remove content with proper citations. I hope you did it without considering WP policy and is a oversight.Please remove content with citations.Further Madras Presidency was called Madras State after independence and not Tamil Nadu.Hence used Madras State.
Nehru was furious and wrote to Rajaji that that "the one thing we must avoid giving is the impression that we stick to office and we want to keep others out at all costs.the links are below.

http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/2001/06/04/stories/05041306.htm
The last 2 references are to the life of E.V.Ramaswamy naicker. Who put it here? They should be removed. They should be put in the page for EVR.
When Rajaji was born, his native place Thorapalli was in Salem district. Then Salem district was bifurcated into Salem and Dharmapuri. So Thorapalli was in Dharmapuri District. Then Dharmapuri district was bifurcated into Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri. So now Thorapalli is in Krishnagiri District.
I believe Rajaji's daughter Lakshmi Rajagopalachari married Devdas Gandhi, the Mahatma's son. Can anyone confirm this? - Etoile ( talk) 03:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC) Briniyavan 07:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I have posted comments to the Peer Review of this article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Peer_review#C._Rajagopalachari
To help with copyediting to improve this section, the sentences below would benefit from some prose explaining what they are about - without some context it's hard for someone not already familiar with Indian history to understand.
(i) Need citation (and explanation of significance of each person, I've tried to do the latter but someone more knowledgable can do a better job)
Rajaji was a close friend of V. O. Chidambaram Pillai. He was also highly admired by Annie Besant and C. Vijayaraghavachariar.
(ii) Need an explanation of what this is about.
When the Indian National Congress split in 1923, Rajaji was a member of the Civil Disobedience Enquiry Committee.
[1] He supported the old guard and opposed the council entry programme of the
Swarajists.
[1]
(iii) Need an explanation of what this is about.
It was during this time, that
E. V. Ramasamy functioned as a Congress member under Rajaji's leadership.
Jomeara421 ( talk) 02:30, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Again, arising from Peer Review, some questions about this section.
(i) Would be useful to add a sentence or two on 'prohibition' explaining reasons for its enactment, etc.
"Rajaji also introduced prohibition ..." etc
(ii) This needs some explanation. Specifically, what is the 'Wardha schem'?
Rajaji's opponents also assigned
casteist motives to the implementation of the
Gandhi's Wardha scheme
[2] in the educational institutions in the Presidency by the Congress Government.
(iii) Does the second sentence refer to the first??? They seem disconnected. What law is being referred to??
In 1940, Congress ministers resigned protesting the declaration of war on Germany without their consent, and the Governor took over the reins of the administration. The unpopular law was eventually repealed by the Governor of Madras on February 21, 1940.
Thanks. John. Jomeara421 ( talk)

Comments/queries from Peer Review copyediting of this section:
1. In the sentence that begins "Rajaji was arrested…"
"Defence of India Rules" Is there a link or explanation for what this means? There is an article on
Defence of India Act 1915 but this was around World War one apparently.
2. This sentence needs clarification. What is it about?
"However, at a later stage, Rajaji differed in opinion over opposition to British war effort."
[1]
3. What are the 'certain' differences? Needs clarification.
"He resigned from the party and the assembly following differences over certain resolutions passed by …"
4. "Constitutional tangle" in the following sentence is obscure, and needs clarification.
"In 1944, he proposed a solution to the Indian Constitutional tangle…"
Thanks. John Jomeara421 ( talk) 01:19, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
More queries arising from Peer Review copyediting:
1. This sentence needs clarification concerning what the 'criticism' was about.
" "Rajaji was disliked by Bengalis largely for his criticism of
Subhash Chandra Bose during the 1938 Tripuri Congress session."
2. Need to clarify reason for 'opposition'
" Rajaji was also strongly opposed to proposals to include areas from
Bihar and
Odisha in the province of West Bengal."
3. What is the 'important newspaper'???
"To one such proposal by the editor of an important newspaper, …"
4. This sentence seems like a stray – it looks out of place. Is there some other significance to it, or can it be moved somewhere else?
" Rajaji was highly regarded and respected by Chief Minister
Prafulla Chandra Ghosh and the state cabinet."
Query resulting from Peer Review copyediting.
1. This sentence needs a citation.
"He had also expressed concern over the demands made about establishing new states on a linguistic basis, saying that it would generate differences amongst the people."
Queries arising from Peer Review copyediting:
1. This sentence is nearly incomprehensible. I have tried to reorganize it, but the facts are obscure, and assistance from someone who knows more about the events is needed to make sure that the edited version is factually correct.
2. A citation is needed to support this sentence.
"Rajaji refused to contest a by-election and remained a non elected member."
3. A citation is needed to support this sentence.
P.C. Alexander, a former
Tamil Nadu and
Maharashtra governor, has described these events as a serious constitutional impropriety.
4. The topic discussed in this sentence needs clarification.
"Rajaji removed controls on foodgrains, and…"
Thanks. John.

1. The Wikipedia entry for
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan says this organization was founded in 1938 by someone else – verification needed.
"In 1958, he established the
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan."
Jomeara421 ( talk) 02:05, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
Copyediting from the Peer Review process:
NB: Both the "Legacy" and "Criticism" section could be greatly improved with some stronger analysis.
1. This statement (and others in this section) needs support:
"Despite the fact that Rajaji was considered to be one of the most able statesmen in the national arena, his provincial and then, state administrations are believed to have fared badly."
2. This concept needs clarification and citation support:
"C. R. Formula"
3. Almost every sentence in this section needs citations to support the claims that are being made.
4. The concept of "Dravidian movement" is introduced here, without being discussed previously in the article – surely it should be discussed somewhere else, not in a concluding section.
Overall this section needs attention from an unbiased editor knowledgeable about the subject.

[[:Image:CR Rajaji.jpg|This image that w Saivites. Besides, Rajaji never sports any religious symbols or caste marks in any of his photographs. Also, Rajaji used coloured glasses for his spectacles unlike the person in the photograph who appears to use plain ones.

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:C. Rajagopalachari/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
I think photographs should be added to this article, photographs depicting Rajaji when he was a lawyer, he with Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Patel, Mountbatten shall be added. He is one of the most famous leader of India and so inserting pictures will add to the quality of the article. A lot of his photographs are available in the website www.thehinduimages.com and they can be used.
I also feel that more content should be added to this article. It is true that he was intially promoted to be the President of India, many might not be aware but it is true that Nehru was keen to have him as President. Madan Mohan. M |

The current picture for C. Rajagopalachari seems grainy and does not even show his face in a front view. All we get is a side view, which doesn't help the professionalism of this entry.
