Stalin and other political leaders on Tuesday condoled the demise of renowned Tamil publisher S. Ramakrishnan. “His Cre-A: Dictionary of Contemporary Tamil is a great achievement in the Tamil publishing world,” he said. Mr. Stalin said the dictionary released by Mr. Ramakrishnan was a treasure to writers and lovers of Tamil. PMK founder S. Ramadoss added that Mr. Ramakrishnan did not consider publishing as just a profession, but as a thavam (penance). To improve the Tamil and English skills of students, Mr. Ramakrishnan’s contemporary Tamil dictionary should be given free to students by the State government.
