T. Subramanyam

The spread of national movement in Bellary owes a great deal to Mr. T Subramanyam. The force of character, sincerity and earnestness he displayed and his infinite capacity for hard work enabled him to widely influence the people. His popularity is grounded in courage and selflessness.

He was born at Bellary, August 9th, 1900. in 1923 he took his B.L Degree and set up practice at the bar in his native town. In 1929 he abandoned his practice and made a debut into active political life. For a decade he was the secretary of the District Congress committee, Bellary.
