It's great to see on the All Souls website that Prof. Diwakar Acharya has been elected to the Spalding Chair in Eastern Religion and Ethics at All Souls College, Oxford University, from April this year.  I am sure the members of this forum join me in offering warm congratulations to him and to the selection committee.  Prof. Acharya is the successor to a distinguished series of previous holders of the Spalding chair, most recently of course Alexis Sanderson, who have all made extraordinary contributions to our field.
