Kasturi Ranga Iyengar was born on December 15, 1859 in a village in Kumbakonam. On completion of his education, he moved to Coimbatore in order to commence practice as a lawyer. He set up a prosperous vocation and moved to Madras in order to try his luck there. He was not as successful in Madras as he had been in Coimbatore. Eventually, in 1895, he became a legal correspondent with The Hindu which was run by G. Subramania Iyer. He wrote a well known column in the newspaper The Coimbatore Letters. During this period, he also got ample encouragement from C. Karunakara Menon. The rich and prosperous Kasturi Ranga Iyengar purchased the newspaper for a price of Rs. 75,000 on April 1, 1905.
