'''Namini Subrahmanyam Naidu''' is a famous Telugu writer from [[Chittoor]] district of [[Andhra pradesh]], [[India]].<ref name="The Hindu News article">{{cite web|last1=Special|first1=Correspondent|title=Towards reviving book reading habit|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/towards-reviving-book-reading-habit/article2702975.ece|website=thehindu.com|publisher=[[The Hindu]]|access-date=9 December 2016}}</ref> His stories have received wide acclaim owing to the depiction of his life experiences as stories in [[Rayalaseema]] dialect. His stories have first been published in [[Andhra Jyothy]] newspaper during 1980s and 1990s.

==Childhood and education==
Namini was born in 1948 in Mittur, [[Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh|Chittoor]] district. He hails from an agricultural family. He completed his Primary schooling in Mittur and High school in a neighboring village Venakatapuram. He did his M.Sc from [[Sri Venkateswara University]], Tirupati.

== Work life ==
After completing his post graduation, he joined as a sub-editor in [[Eenadu]] in Tirupati. After having worked there for a year and half, he shifted to Hyderabad. He joined Udayam, a daily newspaper launched by Dasari Narayana Rao. During this period, he started writing an anthology of short stories named ''Pachanaaku Saakshiga.'' Later, he joined [[Andhra Jyothy|Andhra Jyothi]] upon an invite from ABK Prasad. After 8 months, he started working in Tirupati edition of Andhrajyothi and shifted to his hometown, Mittoor. During his tenure as weekly editor of the Andhra Jyothi, he got into controversy for having published a long story ''Ravana Josyam'', by D.R. Indra. Though he received physical threats and faced intimidation from some sections of people, he went ahead and published two parts of the three-series story.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Ramayana Revisited|publisher=Oxford}}</ref>

== Literary works ==
Namini has written his first story while he was in first year of post graduation. It was inspired from the incident he encountered while travelling in a bus. He sent it to [[Andhra Prabha|Andhraprabha]] but it was returned to him unpublished. His autobiographical sketch, ''Pachanaaku Saakshiga'' about the hardship he underwent in his childhood, depicted with a sense of humor in typical Rayalaseema accent, is lauded as his best work.
