Kuppusamy Mudaliar (1891–1961), known as "Kodai Idi" ("thunderstorm in summer") for his powerful oratory, was an Indian freedom fighter.
Life
Born in August 4, 1891 in Vellore, he was actively involved in the Salt Satyagraha (1930–31) and Quit India Movement (1941), for which he was imprisoned for a year in Alipuram Jail.

He inspired people through his speeches and street plays (therukoothu), attracting large crowds from neighbouring towns such as Arcot and Ranipet.
Post-independence, he was nominated to the Rajya Sabha. Kuppusamy Mudaliar died on January 5, 1961, and a government school in Vellore was named in his honour.
