[INDOLOGY] George Thompson (1951-2025)

[Antonia Ruppel]

Dear Heiner,

I respectfully disagree. I always appreciate the chance to hear from anyone
who knew the deceased better. They were a member of our community, and
while sharing our memories of them will perhaps not make their śravaḥ
akṣitam, it still seems the right thing to do. I met George at the World
Sanskrit Conference in Kyoto, and still remember how friendly he was to me,
even though back then I still was very new to the field.

If you feel there are too many emails on this list, perhaps consider
signing up for the daily digest rather than the individual emails?

All my best,
    Antonia
