Rama Nair

Rama Sr. had run away, against the will of his family, the ruling dynasty, in the southwestern Malabar Coast of India, now known as Kerala.

Rama boarded a ship, headed for the Republic of South Africa. Upon arrival, the indentured laborers worked tirelessly on the sugarcane fields of Natal. Most Indian Laborers settled in Durban. To this day, Durban has the largest Indian population, outside of India. Rama married Minatchee (Sister Ruth) Nair and settled down near the town of Port Shepstone, Natal, South of Durban.

Rama Nair had a number of children. Each ventured out and had children of their own, however, the most prominent of his children was his name sake, Rama (Dck) Nair. Dck married Patchamma, and settled down, opened up a grocery store in the town of Port Shepstone, and had six boys together. Later on, arrived a girl child. Rama was very active and passionate about equal education for all races. He was the chairman of the House of Delegates. A hard worker and compassionate man, he provided well for his family.

Having witnessed a true miracle, at a local Christian revival tent, when his mother, Sister Ruth was healed of stage 4 cancer, and lived 15 more years, Rama, who was also a renowned Chef for the then Royal Hotel, would cook and host travelling missionaries in his home.

Soon, Rama, seeing the need for a house of worship for the Indian and Colored communities, built one of the first Non white church in Port Shepstone. Bethany was built. Out of Bethany, sprang many other churches, as Mr Nair not only fed the poor and missionaries, but also sent many to Bible colleges. Most of the prominent Indian community churches were sprang out of Bethany.

Bethany was known to have the best bands of its day. Peter Nair, a renowned organist, the son of Rama Nair, inspired many young musicians to serve in their churched, even today.
