Abstract, Biographies of great men divulge lesser - known aspects of their lives and inspire generations afterwards. Dr. M.E. Naidu was not a preceptor of ideas and ideals but he was a practical man. In almost all the socio-political movements of Travancore State, Dr. Naidu had an important place and he was in the forefront of the agitations. The pertinence, soundness and durability of the work and ideology of great men, for which they stood in their lifetime, can only be understood through their thoughts and actions. Meenakshi Naidu was a patriot as well as an advocate of Tamil language. With the effort of Meenakshi Naidu the ‘Bande Mataram Bhajan Mutt’ was established in Kuruntheru at Kottar in the year 1875. Though his mother tongue was Telugu, he had a keen interest in the language of Tamil also.
