Face of Indian Politics that will make you feel proud as Indian


In the image, Atal Bihari Vajpayee bowed down to touch the feet of a lady from Tamil Nadu who is known as Madurai Chinna Pillai

Chinna Pillai is from a small village near Madurai. She started a very successful banking system in the villages in Tamil Nadu and is a champion trying to reduce poverty and debt grievances by empowering women. Her intent efforts in leading a savings unit among women in the debt stricken village of Pullucheri became so successful that soon many groups sprung in the region with equal effectiveness. The Kalanjiam, microcredit movement received a huge boost from her dedication and contributions, reaching out to many women living under poverty.

Pillai was one of five women to receive the Stree Shakti Puraskar in 1999. In a picture perfect moment for the press, then-Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee bowed down in respect and touched her feet while presenting her with the award.

Shri.Vajpayee, a true Legend, a true human being and hero of Indian politics.
