Gopalaswamy Kasturirangan Moopanar, commonly known as G. K. Moopanar, was an Indian politician and a prominent leader in the state of Tamil Nadu. He was born on 19 August 1931, and he passed away on 30 August 2001.
Moopanar was associated with the Indian National Congress and was known for his principled politics and commitment to social justice. He served as a Member of Parliament and held various important positions within the party. He was also a close associate of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
One of Moopanar's significant contributions was his role in forming the Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) in 1996. The TMC was formed as a breakaway faction of the Indian National Congress and aimed to address regional issues and concerns in Tamil Nadu. Moopanar's efforts to create a strong regional alternative in Tamil Nadu's politics had a notable impact on the state's political landscape.
Moopanar's death in 2001 marked the end of an era in Tamil Nadu politics. His legacy continues to influence the political discourse in the state, particularly in the context of regional parties and their roles in national politics.
