[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Dominik Wujastyk]

In 2021 there was an online conference
<https://www.eventleaf.com/Attendee/Attendee/EventPage?eId=UDimKzJqiu%2Fk9y0pqMEnkg%3D%3D>
focussed on responses to Johannes's 2007 book *Greater Magadha*.  The talks
can still be watched on YouTube:

   - Day 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thruROmOtR8  (Johannes
   summarizes his GM concepts
   <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thruROmOtR8&t=955s>.)
   - Day 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5hGa6ahSVc
   - Day 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGwD0NwDPCI
   - Day 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckzN4Z8hOq4

Best,
Dominik
