I am currently reading a new book by Professor Chinya V Ravishankar.  I thought I should introduce it to our colleagues.  The title of the book is: "Sons of Sarasvati - Late Exemplars of the Indian Intellectual Tradition."  It contains translations from the original Kannada of the biographies of Garalapuri Sastri, Srikantha Sastri and Kunigala Ramasastri of 19th century Mysore.  Professor Ravishankar is Professor of Computer Science and Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education at the College of Engineering at the University of California, Riverside.  The book is published in 2018 by SUNY Press.
