C.M.Padhmanabhan Nair was an Indian politician from Kerala.
C.M.Padhmanabhan Nair was born in the Trikarpur village of Kerala. He was born rich but spent all his wealth to serve society. He was born in a famous Chandera Madiyan family. C.M. Kunhikammaran Nair, C.M Gopalakrishnan Nair and CM Kunhiraman Nair were his brothers.
The famous poet Vallathol had a very close friendship with CMP and even wanted him to establish a permanent relationship with his family through marriage, as indicated in their correspondence. He also visited CMP in 1949. However, for some reason, perhaps astrological, CMP married Puravangara Indira Amma, related to another notable poet, P. Kunhiraman Nair [1]
Letter from Vallathol
Initially he worked for ordnance factories in various north Indian cities. However, he was attracted to the Indian Independence movement and came back to Kerala after resigning. Inspired by the socialistic philosophy of Jaya Prakash Narayan and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, he joined the Socialist Party when it was formed. He contested in the first election in Madras assembly from Hosdurg against the Melath Narayanan Nambiar in 1951. See election reports on the website of Election Commission of India[2]. Though he lost the election, he continued to build the Socialist Party in Kerala, which merged with the Janata Party in 1977.
After spending his hereditary and earned wealth for society and politics, during the 1960s he became disillusioned with politics and started a stationery store in Trikaripur. Unfortunately he could not sustain the shop as most of his customers were poor people who were not able to pay their debts.
