My heart was bleeding and choked with emotions when I visited my great and historic Law College today after 23 years as a part of my endeavor to recall my school and college memories. Such a beautiful and gigantic monument now literally remains in shambles. My Table Tennis room, Gallery classes, Green Trees, neat premises, etc have now become a thing of the past. We used to really feel proud to be a law student in those days. Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Chennai (DAGLC) which is now called was established way back in 1891. Situated at the heart of Chennai City, our college was later renamed after Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, an Indian freedom fighter and fighter for rights of untouchables and Dalits.
The college produced illustrious students like: (to name a few)
1. P Chidambaram, Home Minister of India
2. Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh State, India and former Cabinet Minister, Government of India
3.V. K. Krishna Menon, Defence Minister of India
4.P. Satyanarayana Raju, Chief Justice of Andhra Pradesh High Court and Judge, Supreme Court of India.
5.Archana Srinivasan, dancer from Chennai.
6.Asaithambi P., revolutionary leader
7.T. N. Manoharan
I appeal to all old students of our Madras Law to join together and assemble on any day to clean the premises and restore the lost glory without expectations from Government. Let us lead and set example to hundreds of historic educational institutions in the country to take cue from our voluntary service. I am prepared to even take leave from my Bank and offer physical or even monetary help for this cause. Is there any Advocate who passed out from Madras Law College to take lead for this noble cause.
I want to share this information in all social networking channels for eminent old students to take notice of this call.
