Biography
Maniammai was born as Kanthimathi to Kanagasabai Mudaliar, who was a member of the
Periyar E. V. Ramasamy in 1942–43. Sources close to Periyar had indicated that Maniyammai, being a woman, could not be named his heir. So he took to the recourse of marrying her so that she could become his legal heir.[3] His marriage with a much younger Maniammai and his appointment of her as his successor shocked many of his party leaders.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
