Mrinal Miri

Two or three years ago I was invited by Jyotirmaya Sharma (http://uohyd.academia.edu/JyotirmayaSharma)  to contribute to a volume of essays that he co-edited celebrating the work of Professor Mrinal Miri:

This was around the time that Miri took over the Journal of the Indian Council for Philosophical Research and I was honoured to be invited by Miri to become a member of the Editorial Advisory Board ... Three years in to this editorship Miri discovered that his editorial contract was not to be renewed:

It would be invidious to say too much in the wake of Miri's dignified silence, but it is good to see a kind of poetic justice in his recent appointment to the Upper House of the Indian Parliament, the Rajya Sabha:

I have neglected this blog ... I suppose it works best as a sort of running commentary, but I have been too involved in writing recently to write here ... more will come soon ...
