Shri.MVD later on started to give more emphasis also on his Nationalist ideas, rather than just Social justice. Since he believed that Social justice without freedom is of no use. He joined Congress and became an active member of it. During that period congress was the only big national party which was fighting for freedom. He started to give his nationalistic feelings a shape, along with implementing INC’s(Indian National Congress) decision in Dharavi. Whenever the Congress demanded volunteers for organizing movements against any atrocity of British administration, he immediately organized thousands of Volunteers for the struggle. The Volunteers were not just Tamils, but it included all the People of Dharavi including Maharastrians, Gujrathis, Telugus, Marvadi’s etc. This was the time in Shri.MVD’s life where all the inhabitants of Dharavi started to accept his leadership, irrespective of their Caste, Creed, Religion and Ethnicity. All started to adore his charisma and started to follow his ideals blindly. Shri.MVD started to emerge as a significant figure in Dharavi’s sphere. His influence among the masses made him so close to the other leaders of Congress National Movement. This is when he became so close to Shri V.K.Krishna Menon( Union Minister of Independent India), Shri K.Kamaraj (Chief Minister of Madras state in Independent –India), Shri. Kakkan (Minister of Madras State in Independent India) etc. His maneuvering brilliance was admired and adored by all that who saw him. His glory started to cross the boundaries of Dharavi and Mumbai. His involvement in the national movement not just helped the major cause, but also this made him the undisputed leader of the territory.
