Former Head of the Department of English, Osmania University, Prof. M. Sivaramakrishna passed away at his home in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The funeral is scheduled for Wednesday at 11 a.m. in Amberpet crematorium.
An outstanding scholar, Prof Sivaramakrishna made immense contribution to the development of critical studies on Indian writing in English. His insight into Indian poetry in English earned him international reputation. Deeply influenced by Ramakrishna and Vivekananda Vedanta philosophy and tradition, he associated himself with the Ramakrishna Mutt.
He played a crucial role in developing the English proficiency programmes at Vivekananda's School of Languages at Ramakrishna Mutt. His colleagues and students condoled his death while recalling their association with him.
After Leader of the Opposition in the Assembly R. Ashok’s prediction on Saturday that Chief Minister Siddaramaiah will step down in November 2025 triggered intense political discussions in the State, Home Minister G. Parameshwara on Sunday said Mr. Siddaramaiah will continue for the full five-year term.
