Cho Ramaswamy life and biography

Srinivasa Ramaswamy, also known as Cho Ramaswamy, born October 5, 1934, is a comedian, playwright, lawyer and columnist in Tamil Nadu, India. He is the editor of a popular Tamil magazine Thuglak. Cho, as he is popularly known is well known for his witty take on Indian and Tamil Nadu politics. He was Rajya Sabha MP in India.

Cho's plays are highly dialogue-based and related to either politics or socio-economic issues. Even after 50 years, the theatre halls are packed with audiences from all social classes. The first play was written in 1954 and the actors are the same who acted in it but they still have relevance to present Tamil society. Since then, the club has staged 5160 shows. Incidentally, the actors are the same who acted in Cho's first play in 1954 when they were students in Vivekananda College, Chennai. Like Saathiram Sonnathillai (The Scriptures did not say this) is about a learned Brahmin, wise in all respects except one his caste prejudice. Nermai Urangum Nerum (When Honesty Sleeps) is about when a chief minister suddenly dies and the party leader secretly replaces him with an identical-looking dupe.
