Dear friends,

Thanks for mailing to the List though I already knew of the sad loss. With the passing away of this colorful and interesting personality Indology lost two stalwarts in quick succession -- Kamaleswar Bhattacharya and J.C.Heesterman. It is a coincidence that both preferred writing on paper with the pen. So also the late Professor Kuiper.

We shall feel then loss that I deeply mourn

Best
D.B.

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is with profound regret that I announce the passing of Prof. Dr.
Jan Heesterman yesterday afternoon. Prof. Heesterman was one of the
great Dutch Indologists of the 20th century and a wonderful person. I
am sorry to be the bearer of this very sad news to many of you.
