[INDOLOGY] From the Organisers of the 19th WSC in Kathmandu

[Shrikant Bahulkar]

Dear Professor Taylor,

Thank you very much for forwarding the letter from Prof. Nyaupane, Chair,
19th WSC, Kathmandu. I am delighted to know that the organisers have
assured all the potential participants about the organisation of the said
conference.

While thanking them for this assurance and sending my best wishes to them,
I should also point out the reason (or one of the reasons) for the rumours
regarding the status of the 19th World Sanskrit Conference (WSC). The
organisers were and are perhaps still busy with many other commitments and
have not sent replies to date to some of the participants. Many
participants sent their abstracts on time and suggested special panels as
well. They got no response despite their continuous queries. They
naturally became sceptical (and still are) about the "serious" organisation
of the said conference.  I have been attending the WSCs for the past more
than twenty years, but this is quite an unusual experience! I am sure, the
next WSC will be a serious event as usual.
