Era Sezhiyan (28 April 1923 – 6 June 2017)[1] or Rajagopal Seziyan was an Indian writer and politician.[2] His original name was R.Srinivasan and changed his name to fall in line with other DMK leaders who opted for Tamil names instead of Sanskritised forms.[3] He was known for having rediscovered and published 'Shah Commission Report' which was reported destroyed by Indira Gandhi Government.[4]
