| It is with deep regret that we record the death of S. Rangarajan, Chairman of Kasturi and Sons Limited, proprietors of The Hindu group of publications. The end came at his Parthasarathy Gardens residence in Chennai on Thursday afternoon after a spirited and prolonged battle against cardiac disease and renal failure. He was 70.
Mr. Rangarajan, known as "Rangappa" to his large circle of friends, was a congenial personality with varied interests, including sport. He was the younger son of Kasturi Srinivasan, a great Editor of The Hindu, and a grandson of S. Kasturiranga Iyengar, who took over the newspaper in 1905 and set it on a new path.
He is survived by his wife Shanta Rangarajan; his son Ramesh Rangarajan, Director, The Hindu; two daughters, Vijaya Arun and Akila Iyengar; and six grand-children. His sons-in-law are Arun Sarathy and Vijay Iyengar and his daughter-in-law is Harini Ramesh.
Born on April 10, 1936, Mr. Rangarajan had his school and college education in Madras. He became a Director of The Hindu in 1958 and a whole-time Director in August 1965. He succeeded his paternal uncle, Kasturi Gopalan, as Publisher in December 1974. He became the Managing Director in January 1991 and was elevated to the position of Chairman in April 2006.
