Books he liked :-

Gandhiji's  "Self Experiment " , " Nehru's politial life by Michale Britotsul " ,  " Laski's political grammer " , "Kamba Ramayanam " were the books he liked.

An editor of a Tamil Daily met Kamaraj at Delhi. Kamaraj while invited him opened his suitcase and removed all the clothes inside. He saw the books like  " Inside Africa " , " Ends and Means " and C.V.Kandekar's  " Treasure of Thoughts " and Magazines like  " Time " and  "News Week" .

Kamaraj's mentality was the reason for his elevation in his life. We have seen so many leaders who were elevated to the top level in public life. The direct reasons for them would be different. Born in a high society , born in a rich family or due to high educational qualification might be the reasons for their coming up to a top level. But without any of there aforesaid reasons Kamaraj was the only leader who came to a top level only by his hard work.
