Ukkirapandi Muthuramalingam Thevar (October 30, 1908 – October 30, 1963), also known as Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Thevar, was an Indian political leader. He became the leader of the All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) in Tamil Nadu, and was national deputy chairman of the party from 1952 onwards. He was elected thrice〔(Aruppukottai )〕〔(Srivilliputhur )〕〔(Aruppukottai )〕 to parliament. == Childhood and family life == Thevar (30 October 1908 - 1963) was born in the village of Pasumpon, Ramnad district. He hailed from a wealthy landlord family. Thevar was the only son of Ukkirapandi Thevar and Indiraniammal. His mother died before his first birthday and his stepmother the next year. From 1910 onwards he was in the custody of his maternal grandmother Parvathiammal in the neighbouring village of Kallupatti. Parvathiammal was furious on Thevar's father for having taken two new wives shortly after the death of his second wife. During his youth, Thevar was aided by Kuzhanthaisami Pillai. Pillai was a close family friend of Thevar's father. Pillai took responsibility for arranging Thevar's schooling. First he was given private tuition and in June 1917 he began attending classes at an elementary school run by American missionaries in Kamuthi. Later he joined the Pasumalai High School (near Thirupparankundaram) and then he shifted to the Union Christian High School in Madurai. Thevar would, however, not complete his studies. In 1924, he missed his final examinations due to an outbreak of a plague epidemic. The following year he also missed his chance to attend the final examinations, as he returned to Pasumpon to fight a legal battle over issues of inheritance of family property. The case would linger and was not settled until 1927, when the court ruled in Muthuramalingam Thevar's favour. Thevar's father, Ukkirapandi Thevar, died on June 6, 1939.〔Bose, K.; ''Forward Bloc''.
