The traits of leadership as Winston churchill conceived are,

"resolution in war,
defiance in defeat,
magnanimity in victory and
good will in peace"

Dr. Kalaignar bears a shining testimony to this definition.

With Tamil as his breath for the last 75 years, Dr. Kalaignar's leadership is the beacon light that continues to illumine and guide the Tamils every where in rebuilding Tamil Nadu as a model and modern State, and in re-establishing the ancient glory of Tamil language.
