As the old saying goes “Behind every successful man there is a woman”, Smt.Rathinammal Duraiswamy was behind each phase of Shri.MVD’s phenomenal career. She was married to Shri.MVD in a relatively younger age. Her father Shri.Gopalakrishna maesthriyaar was a renowned Tamil scholar. She carried the same trait of her father’s and was so intellectual. She remained an apt wife for such a philanthropic husband. She never complained about his helping nature and also aided in all ways to carry out his social works. Once when there was a threat to her husband’s life from anti-social elements, she immediately summoned 2 of her brothers, Shri.G.Chandrasekharan and Shri.G.Ganeshan to safeguard her husband. Even though Shri.Duraiswamy had police protection and many personal guards, she wanted to secure safety herself and felt relieved only after summoning them. She was very affectionate and showed equal love to all the Children. For educational purposes of her children,she with her children went to Melapalayam(Tirunelveli,Tamil nadu), her husband’s native place and stayed there with them. She was very much concerned with family dwelling and for her, the world started with her husband and her children and ended with them. The biggest set back for Shri.MVD’s career, if there was any, was her passing away on September 3rd 1970 at the age of 48. The strength, the back bone of Shri.MVD withered away and this marked a slight decline in Shri.MVD’s career in Politics and Business. Slowly after this, Shri.MVD retired from active politics and business giving way to his first son. To say the least, “She was the divine parallel on earth to Shri.MVD, to realize his Destiny”.
