Kumarasami Kamaraj, better known as K. Kamaraj (15th July, 1903 – 2ndOctober, 1975) took active parts in India’s struggle for independence and was thrown into jail several times and spent eight years in prison. He was an Indian politician from Tamil Nadu widely acknowledged as the "Kingmaker" in Indian politics during the 1960s. He was the chief minister of Tamil Nadu during 1954-1963 and a Member of Parliament during 1952-1954 and 1969-1975. He became the president of the Congress party in 1964 and his famous “Kamaraj Plan”, led to resignation of several Chief Ministers of states and senior Congress ministers in Jawaharlal Nehru's cabinet, so that they could devote their energies to revitalize the party. He was known for his simplicity and integrity. He was awarded India's highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, posthumously in 1976.
In commemoration of K. Kamaraj, India issued this 5 rupees coin on 27th October, 2004, for general circulation.
