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.

The last time I met Ramu was to interview him about his book Munniya’s Light. The interview was carried in The Tribune. Please click here to read it.
