Chairman of the Tanjore Municipal Council

[edit]

The article as written states that Rajappa was chairman of the Tanjore (Thanjavur) municipal council from 1932 to 1944, but in Mudaliar, A. Sivakolundu (1926). A Short Brochure on the Kallars., it already shows him as chairman in 1926. Further, Baker, Christopher John (2008). The Politics of South India, 1920-1937. Cambridge South Asian Studies No. 17. p. 233. indicates that he was first elected chairman in 1924, and resigned in 1936. Would @Ravichandar84: care to reply? --Bejnar (talk) 19:59, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Although, active on Wikipedia on 28 April and 1 May, User:Ravichandar84 has declined a response, so I will go ahead and change the dates to match the sources. --Bejnar (talk) 14:33, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A. T. Pannirselvam

[edit]

These sources indicate that Rajappa was a supporter of A. T. Pannirselvam until Pannirselvam's election as chairman of the Tanjore District Board in 1930, which put Pannirselvam at odds with the other large landowners and the Tanjore Municipal Council, and eventually led to Rajappa's resignation from the Tanjore Municipal Council in 1936.
