Kamaraj did not entangle himself in the rush , he stood in a corner. He stood
in that corner with hope of getting the prasadam for his share of money . He was
noticed by the person who distributed prasadams when the crowd was thin. Kamaraj
got only a little quantity and even in that some items were missing.
He went home with what he got. His grand mother saw the little
quantity and questioned him where others got a large amount . Kamaraj asked her
back why should they given him a little quantity where he has given a equal
share of money and has he to fight for it like others. His grand mother
said however he should have got it first like others. Kamaraj questioned back to
his Grand mother that he too gave money like others and was it the duty of the
teacher to him his part of the share properly and why he did not do it.
Grandmother shut her mouth on hearing the rebutting questions. It was a new
experience to the old lady. It was also quite new to her the nature of Kamaraj
that differed from others of his age group. Perhaps she knew not that Kamaraj
laid a foundation for his future to fight against the big shots who
thronged for power and status and spread the equality.
