#VOC (வவுசி)Chidambaram Pillai is the gift to #Tamilians as well as #Indians from Ottapidaram, #Tirunelveli District
The Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company #SSNC was India's first indigenous shipping company, founded in 1906 by this great Personality only. It is his personal marvellous achievement during the period of #British rule in #India
This Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company looks as to compete against the monopoly of the British India Steam Navigation Company (#BISNC). He launched the first indigenous Indian #shipping service between Tuticorin in British India and Colombo in Ceylon. They started with a capital of Rs 10 Lakh, divided into 40,000 shares.
Actually INS Vikrant is being called as Indian's #Navy first aircraft carrier. But well before this as an individual VOC launched his Steam Navigation Company. What a courageous deedcommissioned as INS Vikrant commissioned on 4 March 1961 in Belfast by Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit, the Indian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom.
He was an brilliant #Advocate but he left the profession and joined the freedom struggle due to his deepest Patriotism. He was imprisoned to two life sentences and drove the Cold Swing Machines ( #செக்கிழுத்த செம்மல் ).
Amidst several issues he shined as a challenging businessman, astonishing freedom fighter and standing as a Excellent & magnanimous Personality to the entire world🥰
