Thenkachi Ko. Swaminathan (1942-2009) was a popular
orator, an author of various Tamil books, Deputy Director of "All India
Radio" a-k-a AIR, radio channel, a host of the daily programme Indru oru
Thagaval on All India Radio (AIR). A down-to-earth human being, genius in Life
Improvement, Positive Attitude and Story narrator.
Million people across Tamil Nadu woke up to his
voice every morning for several years. The five-minute programme, presented in
simple colloquial Tamil, the common man could relate to and punctuated by
anecdotes meant to make you smile and ponder, was broadcast without a break
from 1988 until his retirement in 2002. Many still remember Thenkachi Ko
Swaminathan for his popular daily programme "Indru oru Thagaval "on
All India Radio (AIR)
Later when TV became popular, on Sun TV, a popular
Tamil-language channel, he gave a similar program in the morning called Indha
Naal Iniya Naal (i.e. It's a Good Day Today).
Thenkachi Ko. Swaminathan was a radio artist. After
completing his B.Sc. agriculture from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in
Coimbatore, Thenkachi Ko Swaminathan worked as an Agricultural Extension
Officer for a few years. He joined the AIR in 1977 and retired as Deputy
Station Director.
He presented a morning radio talk called
"Indru Oru Thagaval" (i.e. A message for the day). The show, giving a
message, was a hit and was broadcast for 12 years from 1988. A humorous piece
at the end of the programme was something for which the listeners looked forward
to. A simple man, he delivered messages that provoked one to reflect, think and
make personal mends to oneself.
The collection of his Indru Oru Thagaval talk show
was later published in 25 volumes. Swaminathan gave the entire remuneration he
got through these books to charities.
All India Radio's station director K.
Srinivasaraghavan said Swaminathan's communication skills, use of simple
language and a subtle sense of humour led to his being given the opportunity to
present ‘Indru oru Thagaval’. Former station director of AIR,Chennai, G Selvam,
said Swaminathan left his mark in writing scripts and plays, in discussions,
poetry sessions, children's programme and short stories.
Before Indru Oru Thavagal, he did Pannai Illam(Farm
House) which was an instant hit with the farmers. Through this programme, he
taught farmers modern agricultural techniques, of course using his inimitable
easy style to relate to the simple country folks.
Swaminathan died on Wednesday, September 16, 2009
after a heart attack at the age of 67.
He was born in the Thenkachi village, Ariyalur District in Tamil Nadu,
India. He is survived by his wife and a daughter. His biography "Thenkachi
- Kathai Rajavin Kathai" written by familiar Journalist and writer Komal
Anbarasan. This book was published by Suriyan Pathipagam.
