P. Jeevanandham was commonly known as Jeeva. He was prominent in India’s social, political and literary circles in Tamil Nadu. He was born on August 21, 1907, in Boothapandi near Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu. Jeevanandham’s upbringing introduced him to literature, devotional songs and the arts. Influenced by the national movement and the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, he opposed untouchability and adopted Gandhi’s call to wear Khadi. His strong advocacy for the rights of Dalits led him to break social norms and take his Dalit friends to places where they were denied entry. Remembering his significant contribution, the Indian Postal Department released the P. Jeevanandham first-day cover in his honor.
