[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Asko Parpola]

Johannes Bronkhorst surprised us all with his decision to leave this world before experiencing the troubles of old age. I remember him with gratitude for his friendship, inspiring research and generosity. Goodbye, Johannes!  Asko Parpola

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.
