U. C. Raman
U. C. Raman (born 31 May 1965) is an Indian politician from Kerala. As of 2011 he was the state president of the Indian Union Dalit League, the Scheduled Caste wing of the Indian Union Muslim League. Raman was fielded as an independent candidate by the Muslim League for the Kunnamangalam Niyama Sabha constituency in the 2001 Kerala assembly election. At the time Raman served as vice president of the Kunnamangalam Gram Panchayat.
