Lambert Saravane

Lambert Saravane (1907-1979) was a deputy in the National Assembly of France between 2 June 1946 and 4 July 1951.

He was born on 17 September 1907 at Rettiarpaleom in Ozhukarai, in the territory of Puducherry, then part of French India; and died on 18 February 1979 at Paris, in France.

Saravane was elected under the banner of the Democratic and Socialist Union of the Resistance (UDSR) group of René Pléven and François Mitterrand.

In the following years, heading a new, moderate, Parti républicain, he became openly a pro-merger activist.

He left the political scene after the merger and taught at the French Pondicherry College.
