[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Jonathan Edelmann]

I was fortunate to be introduced, virtually, to Johannes Bronkhorst on Zoom
last year when he spoke on the history of Indian religion, and before that
through his scholarship in philosophy. I saw him as an explorer, found
inspiration in that, and I was looking forward to getting to know his work
better in the near future. He will be missed by me.

With best wishes,
Jonathan Edelmann
