Krishnamachari Tiruvellore Thattai Krishnamachari was the Indian Finance Minister from 1956–1958 and from 1964–1966. He was also a founding member of the first Governing Body of the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) in New Delhi, India's first independent economic policy institute established in 1956. Speaking in the Assembly, Krishnamachari conveyed ‘a warning on behalf of people of the South’, some of whom threatened to separate from India if Hindi was imposed on them. A compromise was finally arrived at: namely, that while Hindi would be the ‘official language’ of India, English would be used in the courts, the services, and communications between one state and another. He was elected to the Constituent Assembly from Madras on a Congress Party ticket. As a member of the Drafting Committee, he dedicated 4014 hours in numerous assignments of the Committee. In the Assembly, he intervened on the issue of freedom of speech. He proved extremely helpful in drafting the constitution as a very prominent member of the ‘Drafting Committee’ and also helped build the economic and industrial infrastructure of the country. Krishnamachari had to resign in February 1958 when one man Justice Chagla Commission found him guilty of corruption. He was initially elected to the Madras Legislative Assembly as an independent member, and later joined the Congress. In 1946, he was made a member of the Constituent Assembly at the Centre.
