Sujatha is great writer whose "en iniya Iyanthira" is well known to everyone which talks about future in 1970s itself. His dialogues are awesome in shankar's movie which includes "indian" "mudalvan" sivaji.. He played a significant role in taking information on trends in science and technology to the common man through his simple articles. An engineer, Sujatha was instrumental in designing and producing the Electronic Voting Machine, which was used first at the time of Padur by-elections (Kerala) successfully when he was working with Bharat Electronics. May his soul rest in peace.
A truly versatile personality! There is very little in Tamil literature he has not touched-right from the Sangam poetry dating back to 3rd Century BC to the modern writings, science fictions etc. Single handedly, he had created interest for youth in science by simplifying the scientific jargons and writing in lucid and easily understandable language. He revolutionalised the Tamil story writing. In any book fair, his books used to be top sellers! Those of us who were privileged to read his works right from his "Nylon Kayiru " days, will sorely miss him. May the Lord enjoy his company in the other world!
Sujatha Rengarajan did his Physics from St Josephs college Trichy and then went on to join Madras Institute of technology. To the best of my knowledge he was never in IIT

Yep. He did DMIT from MIT and as far as I remember was the batch mate of Abdul Kalam.
Sujatha was the first science fiction writer in tamil . He was an Alumnus from the prestigious MIT Chennai , graduated during the same period Kalam graduated from MIT and not from IIT as mentioned in the rediff article .
Also his writings had the reality touch you would find as in Kalki's writings.
My father is a great fan his writtings.I started reading his stories recently and have become a great fan of his. His death news comes as a SHOCK to all his FANS.
Sir, we will miss u. May your soul rest in peace.Country has lost a GREAT person like him. He is the REAL HERO.

He was the Hero in the Tamil Contemperory Writing dear.Tamilians also has excellent readership qualities and can appreciate intellectual and imaginative writing. Mr.Sujatha was a great thinker and writer in that way. The Tamil readers would certainly miss this GREAT writer.
