[INDOLOGY] Ashok Aklujkar passed away

[Madhav Deshpande]

I just now read a message from Shrikant Bahulkar that Ashok Aklujkar passed
away today. I knew from Vidyut Aklujkar that Ashok had a hip replacement
surgery and he was in hospital taking somewhat longer time to recover. But
I did not expect to hear this sad news. I also received a message from
Vidyut just a minute ago. I knew Ashok from my highschool days in Pune. He
was four-five years ahead of me. Later we became very close friends for a
lifetime. A very big loss to the field of Sanskrit studies. May he rest in
peace.
