Alamelu Mangai Thayarammal
The woman named among the founders of the Justice Party in 1916, and a member of the Madras Legislative Council in 1931.
Alamelu Mangai Thayarammal is named by Wikipedia, with C. Natesa Mudaliar, T. M. Nair and P. Theagaraya Chetty, as a founder of the Justice Party on 20 November 1916. She was among those recorded as present at the founding meeting in Madras.
She was a member of the Madras Legislative Council in 1931.
Little else about her life is documented in the sources we could verify. Her portrait is from Who's Who in Madras (1935), where it is captioned "Mrs. Kalahasti Alamelumangathayarammal, M.L.C., Madras". We have kept this profile short rather than fill the gaps with guesswork, and we welcome documented information from readers and historians.
