We spent two years together at St.Xavier's College, the early 60's. A Dadar native, he had studied at the Scottish Orphanage, a non-aided school that catered to the wealthy. A Saraswat who spoke our language, he was very bright, and always very civil. His first letter to Time magazine appeared soon after he graduated, and what would become a near career of protest posts in the English language press. He was very passionate about the Hindu cause, at a time when it was not a mainstrem issue: the Jan Sangh had around twenty five members elected to Parliament. He was a very vocal spokesman for gay groups and their concerns, in the 80's. We were friends, but I cannot confirm if he is still around. eric.
