Publisher, actor Tejeshwar Singh's deep baritone
won't ring anymore
WSN Network

New Delhi: Tejeshwar Singh, one of the very very few Sikhs who made a big name in the publishing trade, and was also a theatre actor and television news reader with a deep baritone, died in Mussoorie on Friday night.

He is said to have suffered a heart attack.

Tejeshwar Singh, who during his youth sported a turban, studied at St. Stephens, before going to Balliol (Oxford). He entered the world of publishing in the 1970s and rose to become one of its most successful, and professional, practitioners; initially with Macmillan & Company, later and finally, with Sage India, which he founded in 1983.

Son of distinguished diplomat Gurbachan Singh, he was also a famous television newsreader on Doordarshan in the 1980s and early 90s. Many of India's top writers and journalists would have many happy memories connected with his office in M Block, Greater Kailash I in Delhi. Known to his friends as Bunny, Tejeshwar Singh had a formidable list of authors, a formidable reputation for himself, and was a much loved person.
