It is my painful task to convey the message that Professor A.K. Warder has passed away. We all know his extensive contribution to Indological scholarship such as his monumental 8-volume study of Indian Kāvya Literature (Motilal Banarsidass, 1972-2011), his well known Indian Buddhism (1st pub. 1970; 3rd revised edition, Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass, 2000), as well as his other books on Buddhism, Indian philosophy and Indian literature, not to mention his first two books Pali Metre: A Contribution to the History of Indian Literature (Pali Text Society, 1967) and   Introduction to Pali (Pali Text Society, 1963; 3rd revised edition, 2005).  

A funeral service for him and for his wife Nargez will take place at 11 a.m. on Friday 15 February 2013, at Turner & Porter Funeral Home, 2357 Bloor Street, West, Toronto (viewing from 10.00 a.m.); with interment afterwards at St. John's Dixie Cemetery, 737 Dundas Street East, Mississauga, Ontario.
