Rajagopalachari was born to Chakravarti Venkataryan; munsiff of Thorapalli Village and Singaramma on 10 December 1878 into a devout Iyengar family of Thorapalli in the Madras Presidency. The couple already had two sons; Narasimhachari and Srinivasa. A weak and sickly child; Rajagopalachari was a constant worry to his parents who feared that he might not live long. Rajagopalachari's interest in public affairs and politics began when he commenced his legal practice in Salem in 1900. Inspired by Indian independence activist Bal Gangadhar Tilak in the early 1900s; he later became a member of the Salem municipality in 1911. In 1917; Rajagopalachari was elected Chairman of the municipality and served from 1917 to 1919. After Mahatma Gandhi joined the Indian independence movement in 1919; Rajagopalachari became one of his followers. He participated in the Non-Cooperation movement and gave up his law practice. Rajagopalachari's condition deteriorated in the following days as he frequently lost consciousness and he died at 5:44 pm on 25 December 1972 at the age of 94. His son; C. R. Narasimhan; was at his bedside at the time of his death reading him verses from a Hindu holy book.
