[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Shrikant Bahulkar]

I am very sad to read the news of Prof. Bronkhorst's sudden demise. We have
known each other since 1977, when he went to Pune to study Sanskrit grammar
traditionally with Prof. Kashinath Shastri Abhyankar. We used to meet at
the sessions of the World Sanskrit Conference and on other occasions. He
started an exchange programme with the University of Pune and invited
students and scholars of that university to Laussanne. He was a versatile
scholar and a prolific writer.

His passing away is an irreparable loss to Indology.

My heartfelt condolences.
