[INDOLOGY] Article on Panini in Friday Times, a Pakistani news paper

[Madhav Deshpande]

I found an interesting popular article on Panini by Salma Mahmud, a
Pakistani reporter.  My late colleage Professor Ian Catford from the
University of Michigan many years ago visited Chota Lahur, the old
Śalatura, in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, and told me that the local
farmers had heard about Panini being from their town.  My other colleage
from Michigan, Professor Peter Hook brought a potsherd from this place for
me.  So I have the pleasure of physically touching an object from the
birthplace of Panini.
