[INDOLOGY] Ashok Aklujkar passed away

[Brendan Gillon]

Though I did not know Ashok as well as many of the others on the list 
who have recorded their sadness, I would like to acknowledge that I, 
like so many others, benefited from his prodigious knowledge of Sanskrit 
linguistics, Indian philosophy and the Sanskrit grammatical tradition. I 
would like to record my debt to him and express my sadness at his passing.
