'''R. Sivaraman''' (died 2007) was an Indian politician and a [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|Member of the Legislative Assembly]]. He was elected to the [[Tamil Nadu legislative assembly]] as a [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] (DMK) candidate from [[Tiruppattur (194) (State Assembly Constituency)|Tiruppattur (194) constituency]] in the [[1996 Tamil Nadu state assembly election|1996 election]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Election Commission of India |page=9 |url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1996/StatisticalReport-TN96.pdf |title=Statistical Report on General Election 1996 for the Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu |accessdate=2017-05-06 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101007221700/http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_1996/StatisticalReport-TN96.pdf |archivedate=7 October 2010 }}</ref>

Sivaraman contested the Tiruppattur constituency again in [[2001 Tamil Nadu state assembly election|2001]], when he was runner-up to [[K. K. Umadhevan]] of the [[All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Election Commission of India |page=296 |url=http://eci.nic.in/eci_main/StatisticalReports/SE_2001/Stat_Rep_TN_2001.pdf |title=Statistical Report on General Election 2001 for the Legislative Assembly of Tamil Nadu |accessdate=2017-05-06}}</ref>

In May 2003, Sivaraman, who was a close friend of [[M. K. Azhagiri]], the son of DMK party leader [[Karunanidhi]], came under suspicion when Azhagiri was charged with conspiracy in the murder of [[Tha. Kiruttinan]], a former minister and senior figure in the party. He was taken into protective custody for a while because police were concerned about possible violence following their arrest of Azhagiri. Subsequently, he was conditionally bailed.<ref>{{cite news |work=Zeenews |title=Azhagiri's associate granted conditional bail |date=30 May 2003 |url=http://zeenews.india.com/home/azhagiris-associate-granted-conditional-bail_101809.html |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref>

Supporters of Sivaraman were initially unhappy when the DMK decided not to let him run for the Tiruppattur seat in [[2006 Tamil Nadu state assembly election|2006]]. They were placated when he was given the opportunity to stand instead for the [[Sivaganga (State Assembly Constituency)|Sivaganga constituency]].<ref>{{cite news |work=The Hindu |title=Tirupattur heading for a photo-finish |date=6 May 2006 |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/tirupattur-heading-for-a-photofinish/article3129407.ece |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref>

More violent incidents with which Sivaraman, who owned a stone quarry, became associated occurred in 2007. In February, he was arrested on an allegation of hiring a group of henchmen to damage the offices of a business rival and attack staff there.<ref>{{cite news |work=OneIndia |title=Business rivalry: vandalism case against ex-DMK MLA |date=13 February 2007 |url=http://www.oneindia.com/2007/02/13/business-rivalry-vandalism-case-against-ex-dmk-mla-1171384549.html |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref> Then, in June, an explosion that resulted in many injuries and two deaths, including that of [[P. Murugan]], was considered by police to involve a dispute between a faction within the DMK led by Sivaraman and another led by [[K. R. Periyakaruppan]]. Murugan was of Sivaraman's group.<ref>{{cite news |work=Rediff |title=TN: Municipal chairman killed in blast |date=29 June 2007 |url=http://www.rediff.com/news/2007/jun/29blast.htm |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref>

Sivaraman died in hospital, aged 46, on 8 July 2007. He was survived by his wife and two children.<ref>{{cite news |work=The Hindu |title=Former MLA dead |date=9 July 2007 |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-tamilnadu/Former-MLA-dead/article14790556.ece |accessdate=2017-05-15}}</ref>
