Prof. Ramachandra Gandhi

Thursday, June 14th, 2007
Prof. Ramachandra Gandhi was grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and C. Rajagopalachari. He died in Delhi on June 13, 2007. He was 70. I first met him when I joined as a student of Philosophy (Hons) at St Stephen’s College, Delhi. He did not teach me formally, but he had a tremendous influence on my contemporaries and me.
