[INDOLOGY] Johannes Bronkhorst gone

[Blinderman, Radha]

I am so saddened by this news that Professor Bronkhorst and his wife are no
more! I was fortunate to have met him, someone I called 'the *guru* of my
*guru*' (*paramaguru*), in 2018 when I was a PhD student, and he was
incredibly kind and encouraging. I hoped to see him again at Oxford, too.
His presence will be greatly missed.

विद्वदुदारतास्मरणपूर्वकं सादरा भवदीया,
राधिका
