Pandit K. Santanam (25 August 1885 – 30 August 1949) born in an Iyengar family in Kumbakonam, Madras Presidency was a barrister, politician, businessman and a freedom fighter. He was a close associate of Lala Lajpat Rai and co-founded the Lakshmi Insurance Company which later found its way into the Life Insurance Corporation. He played a key role in the telling the story of Jallianwala Bagh massacre to the nation—something that the government-appointed Hunter Commission had buried.
He was married to Krishna, daughter of Arya Samaj leader Pandit Atamram Vedi.[1]
