May his soul rest in peace. I reposted the the above article since the author(s) neglected to allow the rest of the 'net' to view the article's brilliance. Obviously the poster(s) meant to ridicule the article I posted on the death of Dr. Raj Krishna. I request of the poster(s) at the State University of New York at Stony Brook [SUNY/SB] not to post such articles. If you desire not to contribute to the said article then please do not show your childishness. If you don't care to know Dr. Raj Krishna, then ignore the article. There are many who are aware of his achievements or would like to know of them and would like to read an epitaph [not a eulogy, Oded :-) ] concerning his life. I, like many other Indians, feel glad to hear of Indians getting respect in the West because of their skills and accomplishments. Indians have been well- honoured in the fields of Pure Science, Engineering, and Medicine. Dr. Raj Krishna was well-respected in the field of Economics. To all those who may not have had the opportunity to see and hear Dr. Krishna, I can only say that you've missed a wonderful orator and a well-respected economist from India (who, BTW, returned to India). Persons, who feel that all topics should be maligned, ought to exercise the 'ug' and unsuscribe to net.nlang.india. Using net.nlang.india as a forum to let other people know who "famous" Indians are/were, is also this newsgroup's purpose. If I would like to honor Dr. Krishna with a "final tribute" then I ask help from anyone who would like to 'constructively' aid my goal. If anyone has a personal gripe with me, then send it by e-mail. Let's not make the 'net' suffer from this kind of immaturity and insensitivity again. Sunil Trivedi P.O.
