[INDOLOGY] Statement Regarding the Murty Classical Library of India

[Brendan Gillon]

Dear colleagues,

I too agree that the Murty Classical Library of India is a valuable book 
series and its discontinuation would be a loss to Indology. I would be 
happy to sign a letter to that effect.

I would in no circumstances sign a letter censuring someone without 
having heard the accused person's side of the story. It is a fundamental 
principle of law: `audi alteram partem' (`let the other side be heard').

Cordially yours,

Brendan Gillon
