A. M. Nair

Aiyappan Pillai Madhavan Nair (1905–1990), also known as Nair-san, was closely involved with the Indian independence movement in Japan during 1920s-1940s.

Nair did his basic schooling in Trivandrum (present Thiruvananthapuram), the capital city of Kerala in southern India.

Nair had to leave India at 18 as he led protests against the administrative steps taken by the education authorities in Travancore.

After a short stint as an engineer he entered India's Freedom Struggle in his own individual capacity and soon teamed up with Rash Behari Bose.

[4] A film titled Nair-san starring Mohanlal and Jackie Chan has been planned based on his life, directed by Alberrt Antoni.
