Since 2007, he has been serving as the general secretary of the Dravida Iyyakka Tamilar Peravai, a Tamil Nadu-based political organisation that aims to promote Ambedkarite, Dravidian and Marxist ideals in the State and elsewhere. In 2021, Subavee was appointed to two posts – Member of the Advisory Committee for Tamil Nadu Text Book and Educational Services Corporation, and as chairperson of the newly constituted Social Justice Monitoring Committee of Tamil Nadu Early life and career Subavee was born in Karaikudi on the early morning of 22 April 1952 as the youngest of seven children to Rama.Subbaiah (1908–1997) and Visalatchi (d.19 September 1987). His eldest living brother is Tamil film director S. P. Muthuraman. As per the norms in their region, Subavee's parents gave him another name – Pazhaniyappan (name of his paternal grandfather) – which became obsolete over time. Subavee completed his Pre-university course and B.Sc. Physics degree in Alagappa Government Arts College (1967–71). He then joined Pachaiyappa's College, Chennai to do a master's degree in Tamil literature. In 1973, he graduated from Madras University with a gold medal in Tamil Literature. His classmates included Tamil poet Vairamuthu. From 1982 to 1986, Subavee was also a part-time PhD scholar at the Department of Tamil, Presidency College, Chennai. After completing his education, he joined as a typist-cum-clerk in Madras University on 16 August 1971. In 1976, he joined as a tutor of Tamil at S.I.V.E.T College in Chennai, as a lecturer of Tamil at Sentamil College, Thiruppanandal (14 September 1982 – February 1984) and then in P. M.T. College in Tirunelveli district (Feb- Dec 1984). On 5 December 1984, he rejoined S.I.V.E.T College. Following the Madras High Court's dismissal of an order (which caused a break in his career), Subavee resumed teaching at S.I.V.E.T College from February 1997. On 15 September, he submitted his letter for voluntary retirement and was relieved on the evening of 15 December. Political activism Subavee has been an atheist right from his early years. He developed an early interest in politics, owing to his father Rama.Subbaiah's status as an ardent supporter of the Dravidian movement, a member of the DMK's general council, and as a Member of Tamil Nadu Legislative Council from the party. Rama.Subbaiah was also housed in Tiruchirappalli Central Prison in 1953 for participating with DMK leader M. Karunanidhi in the Kallakudi demonstration, a part of the Anti-Hindi agitations. Subavee was greatly influenced and motivated by the speeches of "Periyar" EV Ramasamy , C.N. Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi, "Navalar" V. R. Nedunchezhiyan, E. V. K. Sampath, K. Kalimuthu and P. Seenivasan. Apart from campaigning for his father in the Karaikudi seat during the 1957 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Subavee also participated in the 1965 phase of the Anti-Hindi agitations as a Class IX student. While working in college, he formed an organisation named Tamilar Iyakkam (Tamils Movement). In 1979, Subavee was imprisoned along with others including professor-poet Kuruvikkarambai Shanmugam for a week in connection with a protest organised by the Association of University Teachers (AUT), in which he was serving as Secretary for Zone II. The protest was against the first MGR ministry's decision to shift the Pre-university course (PUC) in Tamil Nadu's higher education institutions to schools (as classes XI and XII). The protesters feared that the government's decision will affect existing staff in PUCs. Eventually, the government announced that PUC teachers will be transferred to colleges with vacant posts. In 1980, he befriended poet Inkulab and gained an interest in Communism. During the years of work in Thiruppanandal, Subavee began to participate in public events. This enabled him to gain friendship with writers Pothiya Verpan and Kudanthai Geethalayan, who enhanced his inclination towards Marxism. From 1983, Subavee began to support the Tamil Eelam struggle. Though he initially supported all Tamil militant groups, he exclusively became an LTTE supporter in 1987 when Thileepan, a prominent LTTE militant, died after a 12-day-long hunger strike. At this point, Subavee also became familiar with Tamil nationalism as a political rhetoric. In the same year, he was elected as the organiser of the Federation for the Protection of Rights of Eelam Tamils, in which personalities such as Perunchitiranar, Salai Elanthiraiyan, Mu. Metha, Gnani Sankaran, Inkulab and Arulmozhi Kuganathan were members. Subavee recollected his appointment as an "accident" and his "first entry into politics". On 12 May 1990, Subavee became the founder-secretary of a newly found organisation named Viduthalaikuyilkal (Liberation Cuckoos). In June, he was imprisoned for 20 days along with about 100 others in Tiruchirappalli Central Prison for participating in a rally against a ban on "Tamil Nation's Self Determination Conference" held in Thanjavur by Pazha Nedumaran (president of Tamilar Desiya Iyakkam). His prison-mates included Perunchithiranar, Pozhilan (Perunchithiranar's son), Ki. Venkatraman, Salai Elanthiraiyan, and Salini Elanthiraiyan. During the imprisonment, Venkatraman repeatedly said to Subavee: "At a point, quit the teaching job and become a full-time cadre for serving people through politics". Subavee later recollected "The seed that he [Venkatraman] sowed that day could be said of as the chief reason for my transformation as a full-time [political] worker seven years later... As far as I am concerned, that imprisonment was one which moved me towards full-time politics". On 5 March 1992, Subavee (then general secretary of Viduthalaikuyilkal) was arrested and later imprisoned in Madras Central Prison. The charge against him was that of forcing shops in Thana Street (in Purasawalkam, Chennai) to shut in order to show solidarity with the Eelam Tamils. The arrest came just before the planned "Tamils Unity Conference" that was to be held on 8 March by Viduthalaikuyilkal. On the scheduled day, Nedumaran and 96 others were arrested (for trying to rally towards the conference pandal) and brought to the same prison. Subavee came out on bail five days later and so did the others, gradually. In September 1992, Subavee spent 15 days in prison for his pro-LTTE speech at "Tamilar Vaazhvurimai Maanaadu" organised by PMK. His prison-mates included S. Ramadoss (PMK founder), Nedumaran, Panruti S. Ramachandran, Nellikkuppam V. Krishnamurthy, Professor Dheeran, P. Maniyarasan and Thozhar Thiyagu. In January 1993, Subavee, Nedumaran and functionaries from the PMK and Dravidar Kazhagam planned for a mass rally in Madras condemning the "assassination" of Kittu, an LTTE commander, on the 16th. On the same day of their discussion, Subave.... Discover the Raja Selvam Phd popular books. Find the top 100 most popular Raja Selvam Phd books.
